Chi (letter)
Chi ( , also ; uppercase Χ, lowercase χ; ) is the twenty-second letter of the Greek alphabet. Greek Pronunciation Ancient Greek Its value in Ancient Greek was an aspirated voiceless velar plosive, velar stop (in the Western Greek alphabet: /ks/). Koine Greek In Koine Greek and later dialects it became a Fricative consonant, fricative (/) along with Theta (letter), Θ and Phi (letter), Φ. Modern Greek In Modern Greek, it has two distinct pronunciations: In front of close vowel, high or front vowels ( or ) it is pronounced as a voiceless palatal fricative , as in Standard German phonology#Ich-Laut and ach-Laut, German ''ich'' or like English phonology#Consonants, some pronunciations of "h" in English words like ''hew'' and ''human''. In front of open vowel, low or back vowels (, or ) and consonants, it is pronounced as a voiceless velar fricative (), as in German ''ach'' or Spanish phonology#Consonants, Spanish ''j''. This distinction corresponds to the ich-Laut and ach- ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Electronegativity
Electronegativity, symbolized as , is the tendency for an atom of a given chemical element to attract shared electrons (or electron density) when forming a chemical bond. An atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity, the more an atom or a substituent group attracts electrons. Electronegativity serves as a simple way to quantitatively estimate the bond energy, and the sign and magnitude of a bond's chemical polarity, which characterizes a bond along the continuous scale from covalent to ionic bonding. The loosely defined term electropositivity is the opposite of electronegativity: it characterizes an element's tendency to donate valence electrons. On the most basic level, electronegativity is determined by factors like the nuclear charge (the more protons an atom has, the more "pull" it will have on electrons) and the number and lo ...

Chi Distribution
In probability theory and statistics, the chi distribution is a continuous probability distribution over the non-negative real line. It is the distribution of the positive square root of a sum of squared independent Gaussian random variables. Equivalently, it is the distribution of the Euclidean distance between a multivariate Gaussian random variable and the origin. The chi distribution describes the positive square roots of a variable obeying a chi-squared distribution. If Z_1, \ldots, Z_k are k independent, normally distributed random variables with mean 0 and standard deviation 1, then the statistic :Y = \sqrt is distributed according to the chi distribution. The chi distribution has one positive integer parameter k, which specifies the degrees of freedom (i.e. the number of random variables Z_i). The most familiar examples are the Rayleigh distribution (chi distribution with two degrees of freedom) and the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution of the molecular speeds i ...

Chingford Railway Station
Chingford railway station is the terminus of the Chingford branch of the Lea Valley Lines, located in Chingford in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is one of three northern termini of London Overground's Weaver line, down the line from London Liverpool Street. The station is in Travelcard Zone 5, and is situated close to Queen Elizabeth's Hunting Lodge. Its three-letter station code is CHI. History The Eastern Counties Railway had begun its venture into a main line railway that would head north to compete with the Great Northern. Limited funds and incessant squabbling had slowed its progress. After the merger with several other lines, the ECR became part of the Great Eastern Railway. The GER planned a network of lines to serve countryside around London by the Great Eastern Railway (Metropolitan Station and Railways) Act 1864 ( 27 & 28 Vict. c. cccxiii). It also planned a line to High Beach, to serve Epping Forest, which reached a terminus in Bull Lan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chi River
The Chi River (, , ; , ) is the longest river flowing wholly within Thailand. It is long but carries less water than the second longest river, the Mun. The name of the river is "Mae Si" () in the Isan and Lao languages of the region, being transliterated as "Chi" in Bangkok-Thai. In wet seasons there are often flash floods in the floodplain of the Chi River basin. Course The river rises in the Phetchabun mountains, then runs east through the central Isan provinces of Chaiyaphum, Khon Kaen, and Maha Sarakham, then turns south in Roi Et, runs through Yasothon and joins the Mun in the Kanthararom district of Sisaket Province. The river carries approximately of water per annum. The river was an 18th-century migration route for the re-peopling of the Khorat Plateau by ethnic Lao people from the left (east) bank of the Mekong resettling on the right bank. This began in 1718 when the first king of the left bank Kingdom of Champasak, King Nokasad, sent a group of some 3, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Chi (kana)
ち, in hiragana, or チ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, which each represent one mora. Both are phonemically , reflected in the Nihon-shiki and Kunrei-shiki romanization ti, although, for phonological reasons, the actual pronunciation is , which is reflected in the Hepburn romanization chi. The kanji for one thousand (千, ''sen''), appears similar to チ, and at one time they were related, but today チ is used as phonetic, while the kanji carries an entirely unrelated meaning.
