refimprove date November 2011 Populationmomentum refers to population growth at the national level which ..., Heuveline, and Guillot 2001 Demography Measuring and Modeling Population Processes ref For countries with above replacement fertility greater than 2.1 children per woman , populationmomentum represents natural increase to the population. For below replacement countries, momentum corresponds to a population decline. Momentum occurs because older cohorts differ in absolute size from those cohorts currently bearing children, which impacts the immediate birth and death rates in the population which determine the intrinsic rate of growth. Formal demographers refer to populationmomentum as the size of the resulting stationary equivalent population relative to the current size of the population. Populationmomentum has implications for population policy for a number of reasons. First with respect to high fertility countries in the developing world , populationmomentum instructs us that these countries ... short term growth or decline. Calculation To calculate populationmomentum for population A, a theoretical population is constructed in which the birth rate for population A immediately becomes replacement ... momentum is calculated by dividing this final total population number by the starting population. ref ... Countries with a Populationmomentum The following list are countries that maintain growth despite ... to lowest low fertility countries in Europe, momentum implies that these countries may experience population decline even if they bring their fertility levels up to replacement. In fact, populationmomentum can become negative if fertility rates are under replacement for long enough in coming decades, for example, some Eastern European countries would show population shrinkage even if their birth rates recovered to replacement level. Finally, populationmomentum shows us that replacement level fertility is a long term concept rather than an indication of current population growth rates. Depending ... more details

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date April 2012 Demographic momentum is the phenomenon of continued population increase despite reduced reproductive rates. Phenomenon Even in the face of extreme measures aimed at lowering reproductive rates, the population will continue to grow due to a large proportion of its population entering its reproductive years. For example, when China first introduced its one child policy , population growth continued regardless. Even though the number of children born reduced dramatically, the sheer number of maturing youth was significant. In 1979 when the one child policy entered into force, the number of people becoming adults was based on the number of births around 1950s, not 1979. As a result, the Chinese population maintained the same momentum of increase as for the past 20 years. It is only now that the Chinese population has reached a somewhat stabilized population growth.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Momentum diffusion refers to the diffusion , or spread of momentum between particles atom s or molecule s of matter , usually in the liquid state. In the case of the laminar flow of a liquid past a solid surface, momentum diffuses across the boundary layer which forms at the boundary where the solid meets the liquid. The gradient in this case occurs between the liquid in contact with the surface, which does not move at all and has zero momentum see no slip condition , and the liquid far away from the wall, which has momentum proportional to the speed at which it is flowing. The rate of transport is governed by the viscosity of the fluid and the momentum gradient.

About the concept related to asset prices other uses of momentum in finance Momentum disambiguation In finance, momentum is the empirically observed tendency for rising asset prices to rise further, and falling prices to keep falling. For instance, it was shown that stocks with strong past performance continue to outperform stocks with poor past performance in the next period with an average excess return of about 1 per month Jegadeesh and Titman, 1993, 1999 . The existence of momentum is a market anomaly , which finance theory struggles to explain. The difficulty is that an increase in asset prices, in and of itself, should not warrant further increase. Such increase, according to the efficient market hypothesis , is warranted only by changes in demand and supply or new information cf. fundamental analysis . Students of financial economics have largely attributed the appearance of momentum to cognitive bias cognitive biases , which belong in the realm of behavioral economics . The explanation is that investors are irrational Daniel, Hirschleifer, and Subrahmanyam, 1998 and Barberis, Shleifer, and Vishny, 1998 , in that they underreact to new information by failing to incorporate news in their transaction prices. However, much as in the case of price bubble price bubbles , recent research has argued that momentum can be observed even with perfectly rational traders Crombez, 2001 .

Momentum investing , is a system of buying stock s or other security finance securities that have had high returns over the past three to twelve months, and selling those that have had poor returns over the same period. It has been reported that this strategy Yield finance yields average returns of 1 per month for the following 3 12 months as shown by Narasimhan Jegadeesh and Sheridan Titman . While no consensus exists about the validity of this claim, economists have trouble reconciling this phenomenon, using the efficient market hypothesis . Two main hypotheses have been submitted to explain the effect in terms of an efficient market. In the first, it is assumed that momentum investors bear significant Financial risk risk for assuming this strategy, and, therefore, the high returns are a compensation for the risk. The second theory assumes that momentum investors are exploiting behavioral shortcomings in other investors, such as investor herding , investor over and underreaction , and confirmation bias . Seasonal effects may help to explain some of the reason for success in the momentum investing strategy. If a stock has performed poorly for months leading up to the end of the year, investors may decide to sell their holdings for tax purposes. Increased supply of shares in the market drive its price down, causing others to sell. Once the reason for tax selling is eliminated, the stock s price tends to recover. Some investors may react to the inefficient pricing of a stock caused by momentum investing by using the tool of arbitrage .

Discovered by British engineer Christopher Cockerell , the momentum curtain is a unique and efficient way to reduce friction between a vehicle and its surface of travel, be it water or land, by levitating the vehicle above this surface via a cushion of air. It is this principle of levitation upon which a hovercraft is based, and Christopher Cockerell set about applying his momentum curtain theory to hovercraft to increase their abilities in overcoming friction in travel. ref http www.jameshovercraft.co.uk hover interest concept.htm momcurt The Momentum Curtain James Hovercraft Site ref ref Ladybird Books How it works Hovercraft ref Levitating a vehicle above the ground water to reduce its drag was not a new concept. John Isaac Thornycroft John Thornycroft , in 1877, discovered that trapping air beneath a ship s hull, or pumping air beneath it with bellows , decreased the effects of friction upon the hull thereby increasing the ship s top attainable speeds. ref Discovery Channel Ultimate Hovercraft ref However, technology at the time was insufficient for Thornycroft s ideas to be developed further. Image Open Plenum vs Momentum Curtain.png thumb Open Plenum vs. Momemtum Curtain Cockerell used the idea of pumped air under a hull this then becoming a plenum chamber plenum , i.e. the opposite of a vacuum and improved upon it further. Simply pumping air between a hull and the ground wasted a lot of energy in terms of leakage of air around the edges of the hull. Cockerell discovered that by means of generating a wall curtain of high speed downward directed air around the edges of a hull, that less air leaked out from the sides due to the momentum of the high speed air molecules , and thus a greater pressure could be attained beneath the hull. So, with the same input power, a greater amount of lift could be developed, and the hull could be lifted higher above the surface, reducing friction and increasing clearance. This theory was tried, tested and developed throughout the 1950s ... more details

The basic state of a helicopter is hover ing. This disc creates a flow around the rotor. Under certain mathematical premises of the fluid, there can be extracted a mathematical connection between power, radius of the rotor, torque and induced velocity. Friction is not included. The power required to produce a given thrust is math P sqrt frac T 3 2 rho A math Where T is the thrust math rho math is the density of air or other medium A is the area of the rotor disc A device which converts the translational energy of the fluid into rotational energy of the axis or vice versa is called a Rankine disk actuator . The real life implementations of such devices are e.g. marine and aviation propeller s, windmill s, helicopter rotor s, centrifugal pump s, wind turbine s, turbocharger s and agitator device chemical agitator s.
