Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas, but other mixtures of gases, or pure oxygen, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats. Oxygen is the essential component for any breathing gas. Breathin...

Bredig's arc method or electrical disintegration is a method of preparation of colloidal solution , of metals such as gold , silver or platinum . This method consists of both dispersion and condensation . An arc is struck between electrodes of the desired metal, under the surface of water containing some stabilizing ...

In organic chemistry , an anti-Bredt molecule is a bridged molecule with a double bond at the bridgehead . Bredt's rule is the empirical observation that such molecules only form in large ring systems. For example, two of the following norbornene isomers violate Bredt's rule, and are too unstable to prepare: The rule...

Breed method is a laboratory technique used for counting microorganisms in milk. It was introduced in 1910 by American biologists Samuel Cate Prescott and Robert Stanley Breed . [ 1 ] It is a method for somatic cell count, to know the number of living and dead microorganisms. When the method only recounts living organ...

Breeding back is a form of artificial selection by the deliberate selective breeding of domestic (but not exclusively) animals, in an attempt to achieve an animal breed with a phenotype that resembles a wild type ancestor, usually one that has gone extinct. Breeding back is not to be confused with dedomestication . Th...

A breeding blanket is a device used in nuclear engineering to transmute quantities of an element, using the neutron flux from a fission reactor or fusion reactor . In the fission context, breeding blankets have been used since the 1950s in breeder reactors , to manufacture fission fuel from fertile material . In the fu...

In discrete mathematics , the Bregman–Minc inequality , or Bregman's theorem , allows one to estimate the permanent of a binary matrix via its row or column sums. The inequality was conjectured in 1963 by Henryk Minc and first proved in 1973 by Lev M. Bregman . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Further entropy -based proofs have been given ...

The Breit equation , or Dirac–Coulomb–Breit equation , is a relativistic wave equation derived by Gregory Breit in 1929 based on the Dirac equation , which formally describes two or more massive spin -1/2 particles ( electrons , for example) interacting electromagnetically to the first order in perturbation theory . It...

In organoboron chemistry , the Brellochs reaction provides a way to generate the mono carboranes . The use of acetylenes to insert two carbons into boron hydrides is well established. The Brellochs method uses formaldehyde to insert single carbon atoms into boron hydrides. [ 1 ] Illustrative is the synthesis of CB 9 ...
