Section (typography)
In books and documents, a section is a subdivision, especially of a chapter. In fiction, sections often represent scenes, and accordingly the space separating them is sometimes also called a scene break. Scene breaks represent gaps in story time that do not correspond to discourse time, and thus reveal the story-discourse distinction. Section form and numbering Some documents, especially legal documents, may have numbered sections, such as ''Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'' or '' Internal Revenue Code section 183''. Section identifiers may have both uppercase and lowercase letters. The dotted- decimal section-numbering scheme commonly used in scientific and technical documents is defined by International Standard ISO 2145.

Second
The second (symbol: s) is a unit of time derived from the division of the day first into 24 hours, then to 60 minutes, and finally to 60 seconds each (24 × 60 × 60 = 86400). The current and formal definition in the International System of Units (SI) is more precise: The second ..is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency, Δ''ν''Cs, the unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition frequency of the caesium 133 atom, to be when expressed in the unit Hz, which is equal to s−1. This current definition was adopted in 1967 when it became feasible to define the second based on fundamental properties of nature with caesium clocks. As the speed of Earth's rotation varies and is slowing ever so slightly, a leap second is added at irregular intervals to civil time to keep clocks in sync with Earth's rotation. The definition that is based on of a rotation of the earth is still used by the Universal Time 1 (UT1) system. Etymology "Minute" ...

Sec (wine)
The subjective sweetness of a wine is determined by the interaction of several factors, including the amount of sugar in the wine, but also the relative levels of alcohol, acids, and tannins. Sugars and alcohol enhance a wine's sweetness, while acids cause sourness and bitter tannins cause bitterness. These principles are outlined in the 1987 work by Émile Peynaud, ''The Taste of Wine''. History ''Vintage: The Story of Wine'', a book authored by British wine writer Hugh Johnson, presents several methods that have been used throughout history to sweeten wine. The most common way was to harvest the grapes as late as possible. This method was advocated by Virgil and Martial in Roman times. In contrast, the ancient Greeks would harvest the grapes early, to preserve some of their acidity, and then leave them in the sun for a few days to allow them to shrivel and concentrate the sugar. In Crete, a similar effect was achieved by twisting the stalks of the grape to deprive them of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
