Polyoxymethylene
Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, polyacetal, and polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability. As with many other synthetic polymers, it is produced by different chemical firms with slightly different formulas and sold variously by such names as Delrin, Kocetal, Ultraform, Celcon, Ramtal, Duracon, Kepital, Polypenco, Tenac and Hostaform. POM is characterized by its high strength, hardness and rigidity to −40 °C. POM is intrinsically opaque white because of its high crystalline composition but can be produced in a variety of colors. POM has a density of 1.410–1.420g/cm3. Typical applications for injection-molded POM include high-performance engineering components such as small gear wheels, eyeglass frames, ball bearings, ski bindings, fasteners, gun parts, knife handles, and lock systems. The material is widely used in the automotive and consumer electr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The POM are far larger, with a 1,300-ton displacement fully loaded, and a wider range or capabilities. They are to be commissioned with the Navy from early 2023 into 2025. History Conception Work conducted in the framework of the BATSIMAR programme and the 2017 Strategic Study for National Defence and Security determined that protecting French overseas regions required capabilities of opposing terrorist action and threats of encroachment. They defined two families of patrol vessels: new generation high sea patrol vessels (''patrouilleurs de haute mer de nouvelle génération,'' PHM-NG), or Oceanic Patrol Vessel; and Overseas Patrol Vessels (''Patrouilleurs Outre-mer'', POM). The POM are designed to protect territories and conduc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ten-pound Pom
Ten Pound Poms (or Ten Pound tourists) is a colloquial term used in Australia and New Zealand to describe British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War. The Government of Australia initiated the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme in 1945, and the Government of New Zealand initiated a similar scheme in July 1947. The Commonwealth arranged for assisted passage to Australia on chartered ships and aircraft. The migrants were called Ten Pound Poms due to the charge of £10 in processing fees to migrate to Australia. Assisted Passage Migration Scheme The Assisted Passage Migration Scheme was created in 1945 by the Chifley Government and its first Minister for Immigration, Arthur Calwell, as part of the "Populate or Perish" policy. It was intended to substantially increase the population of Australia and to supply workers for the country's booming industries. In return for subsidising the cost of travelling to Australia, the Government prom ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pom (dish)
''Pom'' is a Surinamese oven dish made using Arrowleaf elephant ear root, locally called "''pomtajer''". History Within the Surinamese community, in both Suriname and The Netherlands, ''pom'' is the most popular and best known festive dish. Within the Surinamese community ''pom'' is frequently referred to as a dish of Creole or Jewish origin. It was introduced by the Portuguese-Jewish plantation owners as the Portuguese potato ("''pomme de terre''") oven dish. Because the potato did not grow in Suriname and had to be imported it was soon replaced with the root of the tayer plant. ''Pom'' combines three central ingredients: chicken, citrus juice and ''pomtajer'' (''Xanthosoma sagittifolium''). Only the latter is indigenous, and although all plant parts are edible, only the underground part of the main stem is used as an ingredient in preparing ''pom''. The main stem or corm is most frequently designated as ''pomtajer'' or ''pongtaya'' (lit. the tajer/taya for ''pom''). The first ...

KAON
KAON (Karlsruhe ontology) is an ontology infrastructure developed by the University of Karlsruhe and the Research Center for Information Technologies in Karlsruhe. Its first incarnation was developed in 2002 and supported an enhanced version of RDF ontologies. Several tools like the graphical ontology editor OIModeler or the KAON Server were based on KAON. There are ontology learning companion tools which take non-annotated natural language text as input: TextToOnto (KAON-based) and Text2Onto (KAON2-based). Text2Onto is based on the Probabilistic Ontology Model (POM). In 2005, the first version of KAON2 was released, offering fast reasoning support for OWL ontologies. KAON2 is not backward-compatible with KAON. KAON2 is developed as a joint effort of the Information Process Engineering (IPE) at the Research Center for Information Technologies (FZI), the Institute of Applied Informatics and Formal Description Methods (AIFB) at the University of Karlsruhe, and the Information Ma ...
