Flat-ten Engine
A flat-ten engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-ten, is a ten-cylinder piston engine with five cylinders on each side of a central crankshaft. There are no known flat-ten engines which reached production. In the early 1960s, Chevrolet built several prototype flat-ten engines as part of an aborted program for family of ''Modular Engines'' to replace the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 flat-six engine. This development program investigated flat engines with between two and twelve cylinders, with the flat-ten version being known as "P-10" ("pancake" engine). Although the program was initially intended to develop an engine for the 1964 Chevrolet Corvair (which is rear-engined with rear-wheel drive), the flat-ten version was fitted to an experimental 1962 Chevrolet Impala The Chevrolet Impala () is a full-size car that was built by Chevrolet for model years 1958 to 1985, 1994 to 1996, and 2000 to 2020.

Mount Flatten
The following is a list of Rocky and Bullwinkle segments of the American animated television feature ''The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends'' (1959–1964). In the original broadcasts and later subsequent DVD releases, two Rocky and Bullwinkle “serial” segments were aired as part of each 23 minute program, which consisted of several supporting features (including “Dudley-Do Right of the Mounties”, “Aesop and Son”, “Fractured Fairy Tales”, “Peabody’s Improbable History”, “Bullwinkle’s Corner”, and “Mr. Know-it All”) as well as bumpers. Overview There is a difference of opinion regarding the titles famously used as teasers at the end of most Rocky and Bullwinkle segments to promote the next episode (e.g. "Don't miss tomorrow's exciting episode: ''Bullwinkle's Ride'' or ''Goodbye, Dollink''"). Some sources, such as IMDb, use them as actual titles for the individual episodes. Others, however, regard them simply as each segment's f ...

Flattening
Flattening is a measure of the compression of a circle or sphere along a diameter to form an ellipse or an ellipsoid of revolution (spheroid) respectively. Other terms used are ellipticity, or oblateness. The usual notation for flattening is f and its definition in terms of the semi-major and semi-minor axes, semi-axes a and b of the resulting ellipse or ellipsoid is : f =\frac . The ''compression factor'' is b/a in each case; for the ellipse, this is also its aspect ratio. Definitions There are three variants: the flattening f, sometimes called the ''first flattening'', as well as two other "flattenings" f' and n, each sometimes called the ''second flattening'', sometimes only given a symbol, or sometimes called the ''second flattening'' and ''third flattening'', respectively. In the following, a is the larger dimension (e.g. semimajor axis), whereas b is the smaller (semiminor axis). All flattenings are zero for a circle (). :: Identities The flattenings can be related t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flattening Of Affect
Reduced affect display, sometimes referred to as emotional blunting or emotional numbing, is a condition of reduced emotional reactivity in an individual. It manifests as a failure to express feelings either verbally or nonverbally, especially when talking about issues that would normally be expected to engage emotions. In this condition, expressive gestures are rare and there is little animation in facial expression or vocal inflection. Additionally, reduced affect can be symptomatic of autism, schizophrenia, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, depersonalization-derealization disorder, schizoid personality disorder or brain damage. It may also be a side effect of certain medications (e.g., antipsychotics and antidepressants). However, reduced affect should be distinguished from apathy and anhedonia, which explicitly refer to a lack of emotional sensation. The ICD-11 identifies several types of affect disturbances, particularly focusing on variations in the reduction of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Flattening The Curve
Flattening the curve is a public health strategy to slow down the spread of an epidemic, used against the SARS-CoV-2 virus during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. The curve being flattened is the epidemic curve, a visual representation of the number of infected people needing health care over time. During an epidemic, a health care system can break down when the number of people infected exceeds the capability of the health care system's ability to take care of them. Flattening the curve means slowing the spread of the epidemic so that the peak number of people requiring care at a time is reduced, and the health care system does not exceed its capacity. Flattening the curve relies on mitigation techniques such as hand washing, use of face masks and social distancing. A complementary measure is to increase health care capacity, to "raise the line". As described in an article in ''The Nation'', "preventing a health care system from being overwhelmed requires a society to ...

Regrading
Grading in civil engineering and landscape architectural construction is the work of ensuring a level base, or one with a specified slope, for a construction work such as a foundation, the base course for a road or a railway, or landscape and garden improvements, or surface drainage. The earthworks created for such a purpose are often called the sub-grade or finished contouring (see diagram). Regrading Regrading is the process of grading for raising and/or lowering the levels of land. Such a project can also be referred to as a regrade. Regrading may be done on a small scale (as in preparation of a house site)Trees and Home Construction: Minimizing the impact of construction activity on trees University of Ohio Extension Bulletin 870-99.

Flat-file Database
A flat-file database is a database stored in a file called a flat file. Records follow a uniform format, and there are no structures for indexing or recognizing relationships between records. The file is simple. A flat file can be a plain text file (e.g. csv, txt or tsv), or a binary file. Relationships can be inferred from the data in the database, but the database format itself does not make those relationships explicit. The term has generally implied a small database, but very large databases can also be flat. Overview Plain text files usually contain one record per line. Examples of flat files include /etc/passwd and /etc/group on Unix-like operating systems. Another example of a flat file is a name-and-address list with the fields ''Name'', ''Address'' and ''Phone Number''. Flat files are typically either delimiter-separated or fixed-width. Delimiter-separated values In delimiter-separated values files, the fields are separated by a character or string c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
