Honey
Honey is a sweet and viscous substance made by several species of bees, the best-known of which are honey bees. Honey is made and stored to nourish bee colonies. Bees produce honey by gathering and then refining the sugary secretions of plants (primarily floral nectar) or the secretions of other insects, like the honeydew of aphids. This refinement takes place both within individual bees, through regurgitation and enzymatic activity, and during storage in the hive, through water evaporation that concentrates the honey's sugars until it is thick and viscous. Honey bees stockpile honey in the hive. Within the hive is a structure made from wax called honeycomb. The honeycomb is made up of hundreds or thousands of hexagonal cells, into which the bees regurgitate honey for storage. Other honey-producing species of bee store the substance in different structures, such as the pots made of wax and resin used by the stingless bee. Honey for human consumption is collected ...

Master Minimum Equipment List
In aviation safety, master minimum equipment list, or MMEL, is a categorized list of on-board systems, instruments and equipment that may be inoperative for flight in a specified aircraft model. Procedures or conditions may be associated with items on the list. Any airworthiness-related equipment or system not on the list must be functional for flight. Overview The philosophy behind the MMEL is to authorize release of flight with inoperative equipment only when the inoperative equipment does not render the aircraft unsafe for the particular flight. MMEL is a base (kind of "template") for an operator (airline) own Minimum Equipment List (MEL) development. As most airlines schedule the majority of their flights during the day, being able to defer non-critical inoperative equipment with the MEL can help prevent the plane from being hard grounded during the day allowing it to be fixed during overnight stays, preventing loss of revenue. This is permissible as aircraft have a significan ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Melton Railway Station, Melbourne
Melton railway station is a regional railway station on the Ararat line, part of the Victorian railway network. It serves the outer-western suburb of Melton South, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It opened on 2 April 1884. The station is planned to be rebuilt by 2026 as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project. History 19th century Melton Station opened when the railway line from Braybrook Junction (Sunshine) was extended to the town. Like the town itself, the station was named after Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, England. In 1886, the line was extended westward to Parwan and, being on a single track section, the station was the site of a crossing loop from that time. By 1889, the station had an interlocked signal box, single passenger platform, and a three-track yard. There was a goods shed opposite the passenger platform. 20th century In 1962, flashing light signals were provided at the Exford Road level crossing, located nearby in the up direc ...

Mel Scale
The mel scale (after the word ''melody'') is a perceptual scale of pitches judged by listeners to be equal in distance from one another. The reference point between this scale and normal frequency measurement is defined by assigning a perceptual pitch of 1000 mels to a 1000 Hz tone, 40 dB above the listener's threshold. Above about 500 Hz, increasingly large intervals are judged by listeners to produce equal pitch increments. Formula A formula (O'Shaughnessy 1987) to convert ''f'' hertz into ''m'' mels is m = 2595 \log_\left(1 + \frac\right). History and other formulas The formula from O'Shaughnessy's book can be expressed with different logarithmic bases: m = 2595 \log_\left(1 + \frac\right) = 1127 \ln\left(1 + \frac\right). The corresponding inverse expressions are f = 700\left(10^\frac - 1\right) = 700\left(e^\frac - 1\right). There were published curves and tables on psychophysical pitch scales since Steinberg's 1937 curves based on just-noticeable ...
