Missing Persons

The number of missing people grew to estimates as high as over 6000 in the months following the attack, but steadily declined as stories were checked and duplicate entries removed. (See Timeline of WTC missing).

As of August 2002, there were approximately 90 people who were officially missing; that is, their remains had not been identified and no family members had requested a death certificate.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

The great majority of the over 40,000 people working at the World Trade Center at the time of the attack evacuated safely, including 18 who escaped from above the impact zone in the second tower hit. By 9/20/2001 6291 people, including rescue and recovery workers, had been treated for injuries.

Detailed listing.

Pentagon

The Pentagon reports 125 staffers killed or missing, with 121 remains recovered and identified, as of Sept. 11, 2002. At least one person died later as a result of wounds incurred.

The listing and memorial.

Missing Persons

The Pentagon reports 4 staffers missing. One passenger on the airliner which hit the Pentagon was also never identified.

Detailed listing.

Survivors

88 treated at hospital.

Detailed entry.

Victim legends

Due to the very large number of World Trade Center casualties and missing persons, victim legends were a common form of September 11, Terrorist Attack urban legends. These were tales of victims who did not exist, spread by word-of-mouth and the Internet. Official sites, such as http://www.september11victims.com, contain accurate entries and are trusted content. Because Wikipedia, and many other websites allowed freely adding victims, there were no doubt many obvious fake entries. Fake victims added to these lists were often simply missing at the time of the attacks, or actually survivors of the attacks.

Potential difference

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In the physical sciences, potential difference is the difference of a conserved quantity between two points. It can be described as the across variable, where flux is the through variable. The product of the flux and the potential difference is the power, which is the rate of change of the conserved quantity, e.g energy.

A potential difference is generated between the ends of an electrical conductor that moves perpendicular to a magnetic field.

There are many types of potential difference:

Electrical potential difference

In electrical engineering, the potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit is equal to the difference in their electrical potentials. It is defined as the amount of work per charge needed to move electric charge from the second point to the first, or equivalently, the amount of work that unit charge flowing from the first point to the second can perform.

A potential difference between two points gives rise to a "force" called an electromotive force or emf that tends to push electrons or other charge-carriers from one point to the other. Common sources of emf are the battery, the electrical generator and the capacitor.

In the SI system of units, potential difference, electrical potential and electromotive force are measured in volts, leading to the commonly used term voltage and its abbreviation V. Named after Alessandro Volta, one volt is defined to be one joule of energy per coulomb of charge.

If one thinks of an electrical circuit in analogy to water circulating in a network of pipes, driven by pumps in the absence of gravity, then the potential difference corresponds to the pressure difference between two points. If there is a pressure difference between two points, then water flowing from the first point to the second will be able to do work, such as driving a turbine.

Instruments for measuring potential differences include the voltmeter and the potentiometer and the oscilloscope. The voltmeter works by measuring the current through a fixed resistor, which according to Ohm's Law is proportional to the potential difference across it. The cathode-ray oscilloscope works by amplifying the potential difference and using it to deflect an electron beam from a straight path, so that the deflection of the beam is proportional to the potential difference.

Voltage is additive in the following sense: the voltage between A and C is the same as the voltage between A and B plus the voltage between B and C. Two points in an electric circuit which are connected by an (ideal) conductor without resistance will have a potential difference of zero. But other pairs of points may also have a potential difference of zero. If two such points are connected with a conductor, no current will flow through the connection. The various voltages in a circuit can be computed with Kirchhoff's Laws.

SAMPA

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

SAMPA, for Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet, is a computer-readable phonetic script using 7-bit printable ASCII characters, based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

It was originally developed in the late 1980s for six European languages by the EEC ESPRIT information technology research and development program. As many symbols as possible have been taken over from the IPA; where this is not possible, other signs that are available are used, e.g. [@] for schwa, [2] for the vowel sound found in French deux and [9] for the vowel sound found in French neuf.

Today, officially, SAMPA has been developed for all the sounds of the following languages:

The characters ["s{mpA:] represent the pronunciation of the name SAMPA in English. Like IPA, SAMPA is usually enclosed in square bracketss or slasheses, which are not part of the alphabet proper and merely signify that it is phonetic and not regular text.

Super Bowl V

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

January 17, 1971, Orange Bowl, Miami, Florida

Baltimore Colts 16, Dallas Cowboys 13

Attendance: 79,204

The game

This was the first close Super Bowl, but is not regarded as a classic; in fact, it is sometimes called the "Blooper Bowl". It was filled with poor play, turnovers and officiating miscues.

It is the only Super Bowl for which the Most Valuable Player Award was given to a member of the losing team (Chuck Howley, linebacker, Dallas).

Baltimore won the game on a last-second field goal by kicker Jim O'Brien, who made up for a missed attempt earlier in the game.

The Colts in 1984 left Baltimore for Indianapolis. In 1995 the Cleveland Browns moved from their town to Baltimore and became the Baltimore Ravens.

V

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

V is the twenty-second letter in the modern Latin alphabet.

Like F, Greek Ypsilon has Semitic Waw as its letter of origin. The Etruscans somehow simplified the letter to V. Its Etruscan sound value was /u/; but since Latin lacked a letter for /w/, Romans used V for both /w/ and /u/. In Romance languages, V came to represent /v/ which developed from /w/; as German W -- which originally was pronounced as the English letter -- was pronounced /v/ since Middle High German times. At the same time, V was in German pronounced as in English, but the German Vau soon stood for /f/ again (the same is probably now happening in Dutch).

See SAMPA Chart for pronunciation key.

V (television series)

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

V was a 1983 US science fiction television mini series written and directed by Kenneth Johnson. It starred Jane Badler, Marc Singer, Faye Grant, Michael Durrell, Jenny Sullivan, Richard Herd, Peter Nelson, Robert Englund and a large supporting cast. It was first shown on NBC.

The basis of the plot is that humanoid aliens arrive on Earth. They are friendly and seek the help of the inhabitants. They are, naturally, concealing the deadly truth of their visit and their nature and only a few humans recognise the threat and act against them.

The story is an allegory about the rise of Nazism. There are very clear references to the Holocaust, the dangers of appeasement and the rise of organised resistance in occupied countries. The story was apparently inspired by the 1935 novel by Sinclair Lewis It Can't Happen Here.

The series ran for 200 minutes and was successful enough to spawn a sequel, V: The Final Battle and a television series in 1984-85. Johnson left \V during the sequel but went on to work on other science fiction shows such as Alien Nation.

V engine

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A V engine is a common configuration for an internal combustion engine in which the pistons are aligned so that, if viewed along the line of the crankshaft, they appear to be in a V. The V configuration reduces the overall engine length. Various angles of V are used in different engines; depending on the number of cylinders, there may be angles that work better than others for stability.

VAG

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

VAG is a German corporation. It originated in 1937 as a public concern selling Volkswagen automobiles, but currently owns several automobile brands and related companies. In 1960 the company's name became Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft (Aktiengesellschaft, abbreviated AG, being equivalent to the English Corp[oration] or American Inc[orporated]). The name was changed to VOLKSWAGEN AG on 4th July 1985. The corporation now goes by that name or Volkswagen Group, but many people still refer to it as VAG.

Vanadium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol V and atomic number 23. A rare, soft and ductile element, vanadium is found combined in certain minerals and is used mainly to produce certain alloys.

Notable Characteristics

Vanadium is a soft and ductile, bright white metal. It has good resistance to corrosion by alkalis, sulphuric and hydrochloric acid. It oxidizes readily at about 933 K. Vanadium has good structural strength and a low fission neutron cross section, making it useful in nuclear applications. It is intermediate between the metals and the non-metals, having both basic and acid properties.

Common oxidation states of vanadium include +2, +3, +4 and +5. A popular experiment with ammonium vanadate (NH4VO3), reducing the compound with zinc metal, can demonstrate colorimetrically all four of these vanadium oxidation states. A +1 oxidation state is also rarely seen.

Applications

Approximately 80% of vanadium produced is used as ferrovanadium or as a steel additive. Other uses;

History

Vanadium (Scandinavian goddess, Vanadis) was originally discovered by Andres Manuel del Rio (a Spanish mineralogist) at Mexico City in 1801, who called it "brown lead" (now named vanadinite). Through experimentation, he saw that the colors it exhibited were reminiscent of chromium, so he named the element panchromium. He later renamed this compound erythronium, since most of the salts turned red when heated. A French chemist incorrectly declared that del Rio's new element was only impure chromium. Del Rio thought himself to be mistaken and accepted the statement of the French chemist.

In 1831, Sefström of Sweden rediscovered vanadium in a new oxide he found while working with some iron ores and later that same year Friedrich Wöhler confirmed del Rio's earlier work.

Metallic vanadium was isolated by Henry Enfield Roscoe in 1867, who reduced the vanadium chloride (VCl3) with hydrogen. The name vanadium comes from Vanadis, the goddess of beauty in Scandinavian mythology because the element has beautiful multicolored chemical compounds.

Biological Role

In biology, a vanadium atom is an essential component of some enzymes, particularly the vanadium nitrogenase used by some nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. Vanadium is essential to ascidians, or sea squirts. The concentration of vanadium in their bodies is one million times higher than the concentration of vanadium in the water around them. Rats and chickens are also known to require vanadium in very small amounts and deficiencies result in reduced growth and impaired reproduction.

Administration of oxovanadium compounds has been shown to alleviate diabetes mellitus symptoms in certain animal models and humans. Much like the chromium effect on sugar metabolism, the mechanism of this effect is unknown.

Occurrence

Vanadium is never found unbound in nature but it does occur in about 65 different minerals among which are patronite (VS4), vanadinite ]Pb5(VO4)3Cl[], and carnotite K2(UOO2)2(VO4)2.3H2O. Vanadium is also present in bauxite, and in carbon containing deposits such as crude oil, coal, oil shale and tar sands. The spectra of vanadium has also been detected in light from the sun and some other stars.

Much of the vanadium metal being produced is now made by calcium reduction of V2O5 in a pressure vessel. Vanadium is usually recovered as a by-product or co-product, and so world resources of the element are not really indicative of available supply.

Compounds

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) is used as a catalyst, dye and color-fixer.

Isotopes

Naturally occurring vanadium is composed of 1 stable isotope; V-51. 15 radioisotopes have been characterized with the most stable being V-50 with a half-life of 1.4E17 years, V-49 with a half-life of 330 days, and V-48 with a half-life of 15.9735 days. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lifes that are less than 1 hour and the majority of these have half lifes that are less than 10 seconds. This element also has 1 meta state.

The isotopes of vanadium range in atomic weight from 43.981 amu (V-43) to 59.959 amu (V-59). The primary decay mode before the most abundant stable isotope, V-51, is electron capture and the primary mode after is beta decay. The primary decay products before V-51 are element 22 (titanium) isotopes and the primary products after are element 24 (chromium) isotopes.

Precautions

Powdered metallic vanadium is a fire hazard, and vanadium compounds should be considered highly toxic. Vanadium compounds may cause lung cancer if inhaled.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set an exposure limit of 0.05 mg/m3 for vanadium pentoxide dust and 0.1 mg/m3 for vanadium pentoxide fumes in workplace air for an 8-hour workday, 40-hour work week.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has recommended that 35 mg/m3 of vanadium be considered immediately dangerous to life and health. This is the exposure level of a chemical that is likely to cause permanent health problems or death.

Vänsterpartiet

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Left Party or Vänsterpartiet is a political party in Sweden. The Left Party, formerly the Communist Party, is today a party which expresses some of the traditional values of the social democrats but which also is focused on the environment and opposes Swedish membership in the European Union.

Vertical take-off and landing

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) describes airplanes that can lift off vertically. This classification includes only a very few aircraft; helicopters are not considered VTOL.

In 1928, Nikola Tesla received patents for an apparatus for aerial transportation. It is one of the earliest example of VTOL aircraft. In the late 1950s and early 1960s almost all fighter aircraft designed included some VTOL features. This was a response to the worrying possibility that a first-strike against airfields by nuclear armed bombers would leave a country open to attack by following bombers. The "solution" was to use VTOL fighters that could be moved to open fields around the countryside, making them immune to widespread destruction.

In reality the costs of VTOL performance were huge, and while it turned out to be fairly easy to move the plane, moving the support equipment and fuel was not so easy. By the mid-1960s interest in VTOL had faded, perhaps due much to the widespread introduction of ICBMs as the main nuclear delivery system.

Currently there are believed to be two types of practical VTOL aircraft in operation:

An early VTOL prototype was the so-called "flying bedstead".

The Harrier is often flown in STOVL mode which enables it to carry a higher fuel or weapon load over a given distance. It was developed from the Hawker P.1127 and Kestrel.

The United States Marine Corps uses a license-built derivative of the Harrier. NASA has flown other VTOL craft such as the XV-15 research craft, as have the Soviet Navy and West German Air Force. The Indian and Spanish Navies operate Sea Harriers, mainly from aircraft carriers.

The Moller Skycar is a prototype personal VTOL aircraft -- literally, a "flying car".

Visual arts and design

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The area of visual arts and design is extremely broad. Essentially, it is any art that you can see, excluding performance. Such forms of art fall into other categories such as theater, music, or opera, although there is really no clear boundary; see body art and interactive art, for example, or consider film, and website art which can incorporate most other kinds of art.

The following is a list of various subjects related to visual arts and design:

Volt

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The volt is the SI derived unit for electric potential and voltage. It is named in honor of Alessandro Volta, who in 1800 invented the voltaic pile, the first chemical battery.

The volt is defined as the potential difference across a conductor when a current of one ampere uses one watt of power. Hence it is has the base SI representation m2 · kg · s-3 · A-1
