Land
Land, also known as dry land, ground, or earth, is the solid terrestrial surface of the planet Earth that is not submerged by the ocean or other bodies of water. It makes up 29% of Earth's surface and includes the continents and various islands. Earth's land surface is almost entirely covered by regolith, a layer of rock, soil, and minerals that forms the outer part of the crust. Land plays important roles in Earth's climate system and is involved in the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle. One-third of land is covered in trees, 15% is used for crops, and 10% is covered in permanent snow and glaciers. Land terrain varies greatly and consists of mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, glaciers, and other landforms. In physical geology, the land is divided into two major categories: mountain ranges and relatively flat interiors called cratons. Both are formed over millions of years through plate tectonics. A major part of Earth's water cycle, streams shape the lands ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground Term
In mathematical logic, a ground term of a formal system is a term that does not contain any variables. Similarly, a ground formula is a formula that does not contain any variables. In first-order logic with identity, the sentence Q(a) \lor P(b) is a ground formula, with a and b being constant symbols. A ground expression is a ground term or ground formula. Examples Consider the following expressions in first order logic over a signature containing the constant symbols 0 and 1 for the numbers 0 and 1, respectively, a unary function symbol s for the successor function and a binary function symbol + for addition. * s(0), s(s(0)), s(s(s(0))), \ldots are ground terms; * 0 + 1, \; 0 + 1 + 1, \ldots are ground terms; * 0+s(0), \; s(0)+ s(0), \; s(0)+s(s(0))+0 are ground terms; * x + s(1) and s(x) are terms, but not ground terms; * s(0) = 1 and 0 + 0 = 0 are ground formulae. Formal definitions What follows is a formal definition for first-order languages. Let a first-order language b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ground (cricket)
In cricket, a ground is a location where cricket matches are played, comprising a cricket field, cricket pavilion and any associated buildings and amenities. A batter's ground is the area behind the popping crease at their end of the pitch. It is one of the two safe zones that batters run between to score runs. Location for matches In addition to the cricket field, the ground may include a pavilion, viewing areas or stadium, a car park, shops, bars, floodlights, sight screens, gates, and conference facilities. Parts of the pitch A batter's ground is the area behind the popping crease at his end of the pitch. In general, a ground belongs only to the batter who is closest to it, and stays so until the other batter gets closer to it. Whether a batter is in or out of his ground is defined by Law 30 of the Laws of Cricket. So long as the batter has his body or his bat (that he is holding) touching the ground, he is in it, and is said to have "made good his ground". Batte ...

Grinding Operations
Grinding is a type of abrasive machining process which uses a grinding wheel as cutting tool. A wide variety of machines are used for grinding, best classified as portable or stationary: * Portable power tools such as angle grinders, die grinders and cut-off saws * Stationary power tools such as bench grinders and cut-off saws * Stationary hydro- or hand-powered sharpening stones Milling practice is a large and diverse area of manufacturing and toolmaking. It can produce very fine finishes and very accurate dimensions; yet in mass production contexts, it can also rough out large volumes of metal quite rapidly. It is usually better suited to the machining of very hard materials than is "regular" machining (that is, cutting larger chips with cutting tools such as tool bits or milling cutters), and until recent decades it was the only practical way to machine such materials as hardened steels. Compared to "regular" machining, it is usually better suited to taking very shallow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground (Dzogchen)
In Dzogchen, the ground or base () is the primordial state. It is an essential component of the Dzogchen tradition for both the Bon tradition and the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Knowledge of this ''ground'' is called ''rigpa''. Explication A key concept in Dzogchen is the 'basis', 'ground' or 'primordial state' (Tibetan: གཞི་ ''gzhi''), also called the general ground (སྤྱི་གཞི་ ''spyi gzhi'') or the original ground (གདོད་མའི་གཞི་ ''gdod ma'i gzhi''). The basis is the original state "before realization produced buddhas and nonrealization produced sentient beings". It is atemporal and unchanging and yet it is "noetically potent", giving rise to mind (སེམས་ ''sems,''), consciousness (ཤེས་པ་ ''shes pa''), delusion (མ་རིག་པ་ ''marigpa'') and knowledge (རིག་པ་་''rigpa''). Furthermore, Hatchell notes that the Dzogchen tradition portrays ultimate reality as something which is " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ground (unit)
A ground is a unit of area used in India approximately equal to . After metrication in the mid-20th century, the unit is being phased out. However, it is still popular in Real Estate parlance. One ground is commonly taken as 2400 square feet and approximately one half ground is used as a small and standard lot to construct a small individual house in small towns in India. In olden times houses used to adjoin and have common walls. In modern constructions one sees this in the construction of condominiums or so-called flats only. It is still in vogue in villages for economic reasons. See also *List of customary units of measurement in South Asia A ''list'' is any set of items in a row.

Ground Tissue
The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither Epidermis (botany), dermal nor Vascular tissue, vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. # Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become mature. Parenchyma forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants, and is usually present in Cortex (botany), cortex, pericycle, pith, and Medullary ray (botany), medullary rays in primary Plant stem, stem and root. # Collenchyma cells have thin primary walls with some areas of secondary thickening. Collenchyma provides extra mechanical and structural support, particularly in regions of new growth. # Sclerenchyma cells have thick Lignin, lignified Secondary cell wall, secondary walls and often die when mature. Sclerenchyma provides the main structural support to a plant. Parenchyma Parenchyma is a versatile ground tissue that generally constitutes the "filler" tissue in soft parts of plants. It ...
