Senile Keratosis
Dementia is a syndrome associated with many neurodegenerative diseases, characterized by a general decline in cognitive abilities that affects a person's ability to perform everyday activities. This typically involves problems with memory, thinking, behavior, and motor control. Aside from memory impairment and a disruption in thought patterns, the most common symptoms of dementia include emotional problems, difficulties with language, and decreased motivation. The symptoms may be described as occurring in a continuum over several stages. Dementia is a life-limiting condition, having a significant effect on the individual, their caregivers, and their social relationships in general. A diagnosis of dementia requires the observation of a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater cognitive decline than might be caused by the normal aging process. Several diseases and injuries to the brain, such as a stroke, can give rise to dementia. However, the most ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SK Channel
SK channels (small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels) are a subfamily of calcium-activated potassium channels. They are so called because of their small single channel conductance in the order of 10 pS. SK channels are a type of ion channel allowing potassium cations to cross the cell membrane and are activated (opened) by an increase in the concentration of intracellular calcium through N-type calcium channels. Their activation limits the firing frequency of action potentials and is important for regulating afterhyperpolarization in the neurons of the central nervous system as well as many other types of electrically excitable cells. This is accomplished through the hyperpolarizing leak of positively charged potassium ions along their concentration gradient into the extracellular space. This hyperpolarization causes the membrane potential to become more negative. SK channels are thought to be involved in synaptic plasticity and therefore play important roles ...

Prosigns For Morse Code
Procedural signs or prosigns are shorthand signals used in Morse code telegraphy, for the purpose of simplifying and standardizing procedural protocols for landline and radio communication. The procedural signs are distinct from conventional Morse code abbreviations, which consist mainly of brevity codes that convey messages to other parties with greater speed and accuracy. However, some codes are used ''both'' as prosigns and as single letters or punctuation marks, and for those, the distinction between a prosign and abbreviation is ambiguous, even in context. Overview In the broader sense prosigns are just standardised parts of short form radio protocol, and can include any abbreviation. Examples would be for "okay, heard you, continue" or for "message, received". In a more restricted sense, "prosign" refers to something analogous to the nonprinting control characters in teleprinter and computer character sets, such as Baudot and ASCII. Different from abbreviations, those a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amateur Radio Operator
An amateur radio operator is someone who uses equipment at an amateur radio station to engage in two-way personal communications with other amateur operators on radio frequencies assigned to the amateur radio service. Amateur radio operators have been granted an amateur radio license by a governmental regulatory authority after passing an examination on applicable regulations, electronics, radio theory, and radio operation. As a component of their license, amateur radio operators are assigned a call sign that they use to identify themselves during communication. About three million amateur radio operators are currently active worldwide. Amateur radio operators are also known as radio amateurs or hams. The term "ham" as a nickname for amateur radio operators originated in a pejorative usage (like "ham actor") by operators in commercial and professional radio communities, and dates to wired telegraphy. The word was subsequently adopted by amateur radio operators. Demographic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SK Radar
SK was an American-made Air search radar, air-search radar used during World War II by the United States Navy. Models included SK-1, SK-2 and SK-3. Overview SK was a very high frequency search set for large ships. It furnished range and bearing of surface vessels and aircraft, and it could be used for control of interception. The set had both "A" and Plan position indicator, PPI scopes, provisions for operating with remote PPIs and for Identification friend or foe, IFF connections, and built-in BL and BI Antenna (radio), antennas. With the antenna at , SK could detect medium bombers at altitude at . Range accuracy was ± and azimuth accuracy ± 3°. There was no elevation control, but elevation could be estimated roughly from positions of maximum and minimum signal strength. Shipment for SK included spares, with tubes for 400 hours, and a separate generator if the ship's power is Direct current, DC. SK was not air transportable. SK had 10 components weighing approximately . ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SKI Combinator Calculus
The SKI combinator calculus is a combinatory logic system and a computational system. It can be thought of as a computer programming language, though it is not convenient for writing software. Instead, it is important in the mathematical theory of algorithms because it is an extremely simple Turing complete language. It can be likened to a reduced version of the untyped lambda calculus. It was introduced by Moses Schönfinkel and Haskell Curry. All operations in lambda calculus can be encoded via abstraction elimination into the SKI calculus as binary trees whose leaves are one of the three symbols S, K, and I (called ''combinators''). Notation Although the most formal representation of the objects in this system requires binary trees, for simpler typesetting they are often represented as parenthesized expressions, as a shorthand for the tree they represent. Any subtrees may be parenthesized, but often only the right-side subtrees are parenthesized, with left associativity ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SK (people Mover)
The SK is a people mover built by the company Soulé from Bagnères-de-Bigorre. The initialism ''SK'' comes from the initials of the production company, Soulé, and of the designer, Kermadec. The system consists of small cabins mounted on rails which are pulled by a cable at a constant speed. This idea is directly derived from the gondola lifts which Soulé produces for many ski resorts. At stations, the cabin drops the cable and can stop. This technique only works on short lines; its inability to work on long or curved lines with many stops is due to risk of losing the cable and lack of stability at normal speed. Deployed systems include the following: * The system operated at the parking lot of the exhibition grounds of Villepinte in 1986 *An SK system operated for a period of six months at Expo 86 *In 1989, an SK system operated at an exposition in Yokohama, Japan * An SK line was completed in February 1993 in Noisy-le-Grand but the office park it was supposed to ser ...

Sk (unit)
Skot (symbol: sk) is an old and deprecated measurement unit of luminance, used for self-luminous objects (''dark luminance''). The term comes from Greek , meaning "darkness". Overview The skot to measure the dark luminance () was introduced in 1940 by the (, LiTG) out of a necessity to describe the luminance of self-luminous objects, which differed so much from that of other objects that it was impractical to describe it using commonly used luminance values. Conversion factors for so called "scotopic stilb" () depend on the spectral distribution of the light and were therefore redefined in 1948 by the International Commission on Illumination (, IBK) for a specific color temperature of 2042 K or 2046 K, the temperature of solidification of platinum Platinum is a chemical element; it has Symbol (chemistry), symbol Pt and atomic number 78. It is a density, dense, malleable, ductility, ductile, highly unreactive, precious metal, precious, silverish-white trans ...

South Kingstown, Rhode Island
South Kingstown is a town in, and the county seat of, Washington County, Rhode Island, United States. The population was 31,931 at the 2020 census. South Kingstown is the second largest town in Rhode Island by total geographic area, behind New Shoreham, and the third largest town in Rhode Island by geographic land area, behind Exeter and Coventry. History The Narragansett Indians were known to occupy a winter camp in the Great Swamp, within present day South Kingstown. In March 1638, Rhode Island founder Roger Williams signed an agreement with two Sachems of the Narragansett Tribe, Canonicus and Miantonomoh, establishing the boundaries between the Narragansett Tribe and the Colony of Rhode Island, as well as to purchase Aquidneck Island. The agreement was signed at Pettaquamscutt Rock, which is now a part of South Kingstown. Twenty years later, on January 20, 1658, Roger Williams again met with the Sachems of the Narragansett Tribe to purchase much of the area that is ...
