Spinor Field
In differential geometry, given a spin structure on an n-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold (M, g),\, one defines the spinor bundle to be the complex vector bundle \pi_\colon\to M\, associated to the corresponding principal bundle \pi_\colon\to M\, of spin frames over M and the spin representation of its structure group (n)\, on the space of spinors \Delta_n.. A section of the spinor bundle \, is called a spinor field. Formal definition Let (,F_) be a spin structure on a Riemannian manifold (M, g),\,that is, an equivariant lift of the oriented orthonormal frame bundle \mathrm F_(M)\to M with respect to the double covering \rho\colon (n)\to (n) of the special orthogonal group by the spin group. The spinor bundle \, is defined to be the complex vector bundle =\times_\Delta_n\, associated to the spin structure via the spin representation \kappa\colon (n)\to (\Delta_n),\, where ()\, denotes the group of unitary operators acting on a Hilbert space .\, It is worth noting tha ...

Elko Tract
Elko Tract is a 2,220 acre (9 km²) tract of land in Henrico County, Virginia. It is considered one of Virginia's ghost towns due to its history as a decoy airfield during World War II, then partially developed as an African-American mental hospital, before that project was abandoned. World War II The history of the Tract prior to World War II is unremarkable. During the war, however, the area was converted into a false city, its structure closely resembling that of Richmond. Richmond sat nearby to the west of the tract. It is widely accepted that the premise behind the work was to serve as a decoy for German or Japanese bombers on night raids. In theory, when reports would come from the eastern Virginia cities that enemy bombers were flying overhead, the city would cut power to its residents and businesses. At the same time, the lights would come up on Elko Tract - roads built in roughly the same pattern as the city, and a false landing strip arranged identically to the nea ...

The dam was authorized by the United States Congress as a flood control measure in the Flood Control Acts of 1936 and 1938, and was built by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers beginning in 1960. Other benefits from the dam include drought control, hydroelectric power production, and recreation.
