Deepwater Horizon was a fifth-generation, RBS-8D design (i.e. model type), deepwater, dynamically positioned, column-stabilized, [4] semi-submersible mobile offshore drilling unit, designed to drill subsea wells for oil exploration and production using an 18.75 in (476 mm), 15,000 psi (100,000 kPa) blowout preventer, and a 21 in (530 mm ...
In astrophysics, an event horizon is a boundary beyond which events cannot affect an observer. Wolfgang Rindler coined the term in the 1950s. [1] In 1784, John Michell proposed that gravity can be strong enough in the vicinity of massive compact objects that even light cannot escape. [2] At that time, the Newtonian theory of gravitation and the ...

Information is an abstract concept that refers to something which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level, it pertains to the interpretation (perhaps formally) of that which may be sensed, or their abstractions. Any natural process that is not completely random and any observable pattern in any medium can be said to convey some ...
Cambic horizon. Cambic horizon ( Latin: Cambiare, to change) is a diagnostic sub-surface horizon of a soil experiencing pedogenic change. Development is minimal and it is cambic if it does not meet the Taxonomic requirements to classify in another horizon. [1]

Advanced Fitness Groups (AFG) : Also a Cottage Grove, Wisconsin-based subsidiary [7] that acts as a semi-exclusive name brand for Sears (in the United States) and Canadian Tire (in Canada) [8]
Cosmological horizon. A cosmological horizon is a measure of the distance from which one could possibly retrieve information. [1] This observable constraint is due to various properties of general relativity, the expanding universe, and the physics of Big Bang cosmology. Cosmological horizons set the size and scale of the observable universe.
