| Ericsson cycle The Ericsson cycle is named after inventor John Ericsson, who designed and built many unique heat engines based on various thermodynamic cycles. He is credited with inventing two unique heat engine cycles and developing practical engines based on these cycles. His first cycle is very similar to what we now call the "Brayton Cycle", with the exception that it uses external combustion. His second cycle we now call the Ericsson cycle. Ericsson_cycle | |

| Lanchester's laws Lanchester's laws are mathematical formulae for calculating the relative strengths of a predator/prey pair. This article is concerned with military forces.The Lanchester equations are differential equations describing the time dependence of attacker and defender strengths A and D as a function of time, with the function depending only on A and D.In 1916, during the height of World War I, Frederick Lanchester devised a series of differential equations to demonstrate the power relationships between opposing forces.

| Green chemistry Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is a chemical philosophy encouraging the design of products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Whereas environmental chemistry is the chemistry of the natural environment, and of pollutant chemicals in nature, green chemistry seeks to reduce and prevent pollution at its source.

| Prigorodny District, Republic of North Ossetia-Alania Prigorodny District (; ) is one of the eight districts of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Russia.

| Volga-Don Canal Lenin Volga-Don Shipping Canal (, abbreviated ВДСК, VDSK) is a canal which connects the Volga River and the Don River at their closest points. The length of the waterway is 101rivers and reservoirs).The canal forms a part of the Unified Deep Water System of European Russia. Together with the lower Volga and the lower Don, the Volga-Don Canal provides the most direct navigable connection between the Caspian Sea and the Sea of Azov, and thus the world's oceans.

| Single-payer health care Single-payer health care is a term used in the United States to describe the payment of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers from a single fund. It differs from typical private health insurance where, through pricing and other measures taken by the insurer, the level of risks carried by multiple insurance pools as well as the coverage can vary and the pricing has to be varied according to the contribution of risk added to the pool.

| Habitable zone habitable zone (HZ) in astronomy is a region of space where stellar conditions are favorable for life as it is found on Earth. There are two regions that must be favorable, one within a planetary system and the other within the galaxy. Planets and moons in these regions are the likeliest candidates to be habitable and thus capable of bearing extraterrestrial life similar to our own. Habitable_zone | |

| RAND Health Insurance Experiment RAND Health Insurance Experiment (RAND HIE) was a comprehensive study of health care costs, utilization and outcomes in the United States. It is the only randomized study of health insurance, and therefore gives strong evidence for the effects of different health insurance plans. Although the fieldwork of the study was conducted between 1974 and 1982, the results are still highly relevant because most health economics studies are observational (i.e., provide weaker evidence of causality than the RAND HIE).

| A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates is a 1955 book by the RAND Corporation. The book of tables was an important 20th century work in the field of statistics and random numbers. It was produced starting in 1947 by an electronic simulation of a roulette wheel attached to a computer, the results of which were then carefully filtered and tested before being used to generate the table.

| Plug-in hybrid A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid vehicle with batteries that can be recharged by connecting a plug to an electric power source. It shares the characteristics of both traditional hybrid electric vehicles (also called charge-maintaining hybrid electric vehicles), having an electric motor and a internal combustion engine, and of battery electric vehicles, also having a plug to connect to the electric grid (it is a plug-in vehicle).

| Crackpot index crackpot index is a number that rates scientific claims or the individuals that make them, in conjunction with a method for computing that number. The method, proposed semi-seriously by mathematical physicist John Baez in 1992, computes an index by responses to a list of 37 questions, each positive response contributing a point value ranging from 1 to 50. The computation is initialized with a value of Crackpot_index | |
