| ARTICLES RELATED TO paraffin | | | |  paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Rose - Roses in cultivationRoses are one of the most popular garden shrubs and are also among the most common flowers sold by florists. Roses are of great economic importance both as a crop for florists' use and for use in perfume.
Many thousands of rose hybrids and cultivars have been bred and selected for garden use, mostly double-flowered with many or all of the stamens mutated into additional petals. Twentieth-century rose breeders generally emphasized size and color, producing large, attractive blooms with little or no scent. Many wild and "old-fashioned" roses, by contrast, have a strong sweet scent. A few cultivars, such as the Lady Banks ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Petroleum - Origin
Petroleum - Biogenic theory.
Most geologists view crude oil, like coal and natural gas, as the product of compression and heating of ancient vegetation over geological time scales. According to this theory, it is formed from the decayed remains of prehistoric marine animals and terrestrial plants. Over many centuries this organic matter, mixed with mud, is buried under thick sedimentary layers of material. The resulting high levels of heat and pressure cause the remains to metamorphose, first into a waxy material ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Helicopter - Generating lift In conventional aircraft, the wing profile (called airfoil) is designed to have a shape where the bottom surface has a shorter path than the top surface. The longer path that the fluid (in this case air) must travel across the top surface equates to a higher speed. The higher the speed of a fluid, the lower the dynamic pressure (as opposed to static pressure) on the surface. Thus, by causing the air to flow faster over the top surface than the bottom, the airfoil causes a pressure difference directed upward. This pressure difference integrat ...

| | | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Bruce George Peter Lee - The Hastie fire It was only when a fire at a house in Hull, East Yorkshire, killed three young brothers that police began to look for an arsonist. They found their man in Lee, a 19-year-old local youth of a disadvantaged background and a spastic disability, but when he started to confess to countless other fatal fires, a whole new chapter opened.
The fire on December 4, 1979, trapped Charles Hastie, who was 15, and his younger brothers Paul, 12, and eight-year-old Peter, as well as their mother, Edith, and another brother, ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Helicopter - Generating lift A conventional aircraft is able to fly because the forward motion of the angled wings creates lift by seperating the air into two streams. One stream of air goes over the wing and one goes under. Because the air traveling over the top of the wing has a longer distance to travel, due to the curve on the upper part of the wing, (called camber) and because the air traveling over the top and bottom of the wing wants to meet at the same time, the air flowing over the top of the wing has to travel at a faster rate than the air flowing over the bot ...

| | | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Bruce George Peter Lee - Prolific - but poor publicity Lee was initially taken to Park Lane Special Hospital in Liverpool. He was later transferred to Rampton Secure Hospital and there he remains to this day. It is not known whether he has been earmarked for release at any time. He became the most prolific killer in the UK yet got next to no national publicity at the time because a) he was convicted of manslaughter rather than murder, and b) the Yorkshire Ripper’s trial, a much more high profile case, was ongoing at precisely the same time. The fact that the Ripper’s existence was known thro ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Bruce George Peter Lee - Guilty to Manslaughter In October 1980, Lee was charged with a total of 26 murders, along with alternative offences of manslaughter, as well as eleven counts of arson and two of causing grievous bodily harm (he had admitted in interview to starting a fire in which a young mother and her daughter suffered severe burns but survived).
At his trial at Leeds Crown Court in January 1981, Lee denied every murder charge but pleaded guilty to 26 counts of manslaughter, as well as the arson attacks. The pleas were accepted. He was ordered to be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act, with the judge stating ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Staining biology - In vivo staining In vivo staining is the process of dyeing living tissues—in vivo means "in life" (compare with in vitro staining). By causing certain cells or structures to take on contrasting color(s), their form (morphology) or position within a cell or tissue can be readily seen and studied. The usual purpose is to reveal cytological details that might otherwise not be apparent; however, staining can also reveal where certain chemicals or specific ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Tissue engineering - Assembly methods One of the continuing, persistent problems with tissue engineering is mass transport limitations. Engineered tissues generally lack an intial blood supply, thus making it difficult for any implanted cells to obtain sufficient oxygen and nutrients to survive, and/or function properly.
It might be possible to print organs, or possibly entire organisms. A recent innovative method of construction uses an inkjet mechanism to print precise layers of cells in a matrix of thermoreversable gel. Endothelial cells, the cells that line blood vessels, have been printed in a set of ...

| | | | | paraffin: Encyclopedia II - Helicopter - Stability Fixed wing aircraft are usually inherently stable. If a gust of wind or a nudge to one of the controls causes a fixed wing aircraft to pitch, roll, or yaw, the aerodynamic design of the aircraft will tend to correct the motion, and the aircraft will return to its original attitude. Many small, fixed wing aircraft are stable enough that a pilot can let go of the controls while looking at a map or dealing with a radio, and ...
