Tom Walkinshaw Racing
Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) was a motor racing team and engineering firm founded in 1976, in Kidlington, near Oxford, England, by touring car racer Tom Walkinshaw. The company initially handled privateer work before entering works touring car racers for manufacturers such as Mazda and Rover (marque), Rover. However, TWR became most closely associated with Jaguar Cars, Jaguar, a relationship which started in 1982 with the successful entry of the Jaguar XJS into the European Touring Car Championship, chalking up a number of wins that year. The relationship continued and by 1988, TWR-Jaguar had taken its first Le Mans 24 Hours, Le Mans victory in a V12-powered Jaguar XJR-9, XJR-9. Further success followed with a Le Mans win in 1990. TWR and Jaguar formed JaguarSport initially to build tuned versions of Jaguar road-cars, culminating in the production of the Jaguar XJ220, XJ220 and Jaguar XJR-15, XJR-15 sports cars at a new facility at Bloxham. With Jaguar bought by Ford Motor Compa ...

Trans World Radio
Trans World Radio (TWR) is a multi-national evangelical Christianity, Christian media distributor. The largest Christian media organization in the world, it uses high-powered medium wave (AM) and short wave transmitters, local FM radio stations, cable television, cable, satellite, Internet, and mobile device technologies. TWR distributes programs for ministries such as ''Thru the Bible'' and ''Turning Point'' as well as their own programs. Currently, their programs can be heard in 190 countries in more than 200 languages and dialects. TWR is a member of Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA), Evangelical Press Association (EPA), National Religious Broadcasters (NRB), and International Orality Network (ION). History TWR started in 1952, when set up the organization to reach Spain by broadcasting from Morocco. Later, TWR moved to Monaco. Other major transmitting sites include Guam (KTWG), Bonaire, Sri Lanka, Cyprus, and eSwatini (Swaziland). The Federal Commu ...

Traveling Wave Reactor
A traveling-wave reactor (TWR) is a proposed type of nuclear fission reactor that can convert fertile material into usable fuel through nuclear transmutation, in tandem with the burnup of fissile material. TWRs differ from other kinds of fast-neutron and breeder reactors in their ability to use fuel efficiently without uranium enrichment or reprocessing, instead directly using depleted uranium, natural uranium, thorium, spent fuel removed from light water reactors, or some combination of these materials. The concept is still in the development stage and no TWRs have ever been built. The name refers to the fact that fission remains confined to a boundary zone in the reactor core that slowly advances over time. TWRs could theoretically run self-sustained for decades without refueling or removing spent fuel. History Traveling-wave reactors were first proposed in the 1950s and have been studied intermittently. The concept of a reactor that could breed its own fuel inside the reac ...

Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit
The is a railway line in Tokyo, Japan. It is the only line operated by the third-sector company Tokyo Waterfront Area Rapid Transit. It connects central Tokyo to the artificial islands of Aomi and Odaiba. The line is served by some trains on the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) Saikyō Line which continue on to , , , and . Overview While not part of the Tokyo subway network (as it was built to JR specifications), the Rinkai Line is fully grade separated and runs underground for nearly of its distance, going as low as below the ground when crossing under the Port of Tokyo. The Shinonome – Shin-Kiba segment (which uses the former Keiyō Freight Line) is elevated. Station list All stations are located in Tokyo. All trains stop at every station on the line. Rolling stock * TWR 70-000 series 10-car EMUs (since 1996) * JR East E233-7000 series 10-car EMUs (since 30 June 2013) The TWR 70-000 series electric multiple unit (EMU) trains are based at Yashio Depot, ...

Thrust-to-weight Ratio
Thrust-to-weight ratio is a dimensionless ratio of thrust to weight of a rocket, jet engine, propeller engine, or a vehicle propelled by such an engine that is an indicator of the performance of the engine or vehicle. The instantaneous thrust-to-weight ratio of a vehicle varies continually during operation due to progressive consumption of fuel or propellant and in some cases a gravity gradient. The thrust-to-weight ratio based on initial thrust and weight is often published and used as a figure of merit for quantitative comparison of a vehicle's initial performance. Calculation The thrust-to-weight ratio is calculated by dividing the thrust (in SI units – in newtons) by the weight (in newtons) of the engine or vehicle. The weight (N) is calculated by multiplying the mass in kilograms (kg) by the acceleration due to gravity (m/s). The thrust can also be measured in pound-force (lbf), provided the weight is measured in pounds (lb). Division using these two values still give ...

Time-weighted Return
The time-weighted return (TWR) is a method of calculating investment return, where returns over sub-periods are compounded together, with each sub-period weighted according to its duration. The time-weighted method differs from other methods of calculating investment return, in the particular way it compensates for external flows. External flows The time-weighted return is a measure of the historical performance of an investment portfolio which compensates for ''external flows''. External flows refer to the net movements of value into or out of a portfolio, stemming from transfers of cash, securities, or other financial instruments. These flows are characterized by the absence of a concurrent, equal, and opposite value transaction, unlike what occurs in purchases or sales. Furthermore, they do not originate from the income generated by the portfolio's investments, such as interest, coupons, or dividends. To compensate for external flows, the overall time interval under analysis i ...

Tuas West Road MRT Station
Tuas West Road MRT station is an above-ground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station along the East West line in Tuas, Singapore. This station took its name from a nearby road. It is located along Pioneer Road, near the junction with Tuas West Road, and sits along the boundaries of the Tuas North, Tuas Bay, and Tuas Promenade planning subzones. The station serves industries in the vicinity of Pioneer Road and Tuas West Road, such as Tuas Avenue 9, 11, 12, and 20, Tuas Lane and Tuas West Avenue. History It was first announced on 11 January 2011 by Transport Minister Raymond Lim in a speech while visiting Bedok Bedok ( ) is a Planning areas of Singapore, planning area and New towns of Singapore, residential town located in the geographical region of Tanah Merah, Singapore, Tanah Merah along the south-eastern coast of the East Region, Singapore, East R ... when new platform screen doors opened there.
