Berkovich Space
In mathematics, a Berkovich space, introduced by , is a version of an analytic space over a Non-archimedean field, non-Archimedean field (e.g. P-adic number, ''p''-adic field), refining Tate's notion of a rigid analytic space. Motivation In the Complex number, complex case, algebraic geometry begins by defining the complex affine space to be \Complex^n. For each U\subset\Complex^n, we define \mathcal_U, the Ring (mathematics), ring of analytic functions on U to be the ring of holomorphic functions, i.e. functions on U that can be written as a convergent power series in a Neighborhood (mathematics), neighborhood of each point. We then define a local model space for f_, \ldots, f_\in\mathcal_U to be :X:=\ with \mathcal_X=\mathcal_U/(f_, \ldots,f_). A complex analytic space is a locally ringed \Complex-space (Y, \mathcal_Y) which is locally isomorphic to a local model space. When k is a Complete field, complete non-Archimedean field, we have that k is totally disconnected. In su ...

Berkovich Tip
A Berkovich tip is a type of nanoindenter tip used for testing the indentation hardness of a material. It is a three-sided pyramid which is geometrically self-similar. The popular Berkovich now has a very flat profile, with a total included angle of 142.3 degrees and a half angle of 65.27 degrees, measured from the axis to one of the pyramid flats. This Berkovich tip has the same projected area-to-depth ratio as a Vickers indenter. The original tip shape was invented by Russian scientist E.S. Berkovich in the USSR c. 1950, which has a half angle of 65.03 degrees.M.M. Khrushchov & E.S. Berkovich, "Methods of Determining the Hardness of Very Hard Materials: The Hardness of Diamond," ''Zavodskaya Laboratoria'', 1950 (2), p 193 -196 (in Russian). Translated into English by W.G.C and published in ''Industrial Diamond Review'', Vol. 11, Feb 1951, p 42-49 (in English). As it is three sided, it is easier to grind these tips to a sharp point and so is more readily employed for nanoindenta ...

Yuli Berkovich
Yuli Berkovich (1944 - 2022) was a scientist who has performed experiments with seed germination in zero gravity, among others, on both the Soviet Mir Space Station and the International Space Station. The seedlings germinated, but died a few days later due to not having any soil or nutrients, and from capillary action Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, any external forces li .... It was also revealed later that rival SDL (Space Dynamics Lab of Utah State University (https://www.sdl.usu.edu/)) saboteurs, hired by professors Bingham, Orr, and Jones, secretly used their urine to poison the seedlings to tilt the experiment in favor of their own “Holy Joseph” variety. Yuli was named after his father's (who was a first deputy of the Coal Mining Industry of the USSR, and consequentially was arres ...

Ashkenazi Jewish
Ashkenazi Jews ( ; he, יְהוּדֵי אַשְׁכְּנַז, translit=Yehudei Ashkenaz, ; yi, אַשכּנזישע ייִדן, Ashkenazishe Yidn), also known as Ashkenazic Jews or ''Ashkenazim'',, Ashkenazi Hebrew pronunciation: , singular: , Modern Hebrew: are a Jewish diaspora population who coalesced in the Holy Roman Empire around the end of the first millennium CE. Their traditional diaspora language is Yiddish (a West Germanic language with Jewish linguistic elements, including the Hebrew alphabet), which developed during the Middle Ages after they had moved from Germany and France into Northern Europe and Eastern Europe. For centuries, Ashkenazim in Europe used Hebrew only as a sacred language until the revival of Hebrew as a common language in 20th-century Israel. Throughout their numerous centuries living in Europe, Ashkenazim have made many important contributions to its philosophy, scholarship, literature, art, music, and science. The rabbinical term '' ...

Jewish Surnames
Jewish surnames are family names used by Jews and those of Jewish origin. Jewish surnames are thought to be of comparatively recent origin; the first known Jewish family names date to the Middle Ages, in the 10th and 11th centuries CE. Jews have some of the largest varieties of surnames among any ethnic group, owing to the geographically diverse Jewish diaspora, as well as cultural assimilation and the recent trend toward Hebraization of surnames. Some traditional surnames relate to Jewish history or roles within the religion, such as Cohen ("priest"), Levi, Shulman ("synagogue-man"), Sofer ("scribe"), or Kantor ("cantor"), while many others relate to a secular occupation or place names. The majority of Jewish surnames used today developed in the past three hundred years. History Historically, Jews used Hebrew patronymic names. In the Jewish patronymic system the first name is followed by either ''ben-'' or ''bat-'' ("son of" and "daughter of," respectively), and then the f ...
