General equilibrium theory

Anglo-American economists became more interested in general equilibrium in the late 1920s and 1930s after Piero Sraffa's demonstration that Marshallian economists cannot account for the forces thought to account for the upward-slope of the supply curve for a consumer good.

Grey noise

Grey noise is random noise subjected to a psychoacoustic equal loudness curve (such as an inverted A-weighting curve) over a given range of frequencies, giving the listener the perception that it is equally loud at all frequencies.

Midland Mainline

The service used the Midland Main Line as far as Trent Junction, before taking the Erewash Valley Line (avoiding Derby) to Clay Cross, rejoining the Midland Main Line until Dore South Curve, before heading west along the Hope Valley Line towards Manchester Piccadilly.

Reaction progress kinetic analysis

From these data, the starting material or product concentration over time may be obtained by simply taking the integral of a polynomial fit to the experimental curve.

From the concentration data, the rate of reaction over time may be obtained by taking the derivative of a polynomial fit to the experimental curve.
