An aggregation number is a description of the number of molecules present in a micelle once the critical micelle concentration cmc has been reached. A typical experiment to determine the mean aggregation number would involve the use of a luminescent probe, Quenching fluorescence quencher and a known concentration of surfactant . If the concentration of the quencher is varied, and the cmc of the surfactant known, the mean aggregation number can be calculated.

- Valve timing
In a piston engine , the valve timing is the precise timing of the opening and closing of the valves. In four stroke cycle engines and some two stroke cycle engines, the valve timing is controlled by the camshaft . It can be varied by modifying the camshaft, or it can be varied during engine operation by the relatively new technology of variable valve timing . It is also affected by the adjustment of the valve mechanism, and particularly by the tappet clearance. However, this variation is normally unwanted. Many two stroke cycle and all wankel engine s do not have a camshaft or valves, and the port timing can only be varied by machining the port s, and or modifying the piston skirt two stroke applications . Some supercharger supercharged two stroke diesel engine s do however have a cylinder head and camshaft similar to a four stroke cycle engine. In a steam engine , the control of the valve timing is an important part of the operation of the engine.

- Rethinking "Gnosticism": An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category
Rethinking Gnosticism An Argument for Dismantling a Dubious Category ISBN 0 691 00542 7 , is a 1999 book by Michael Allen Williams. This is one of the first critical works that goes about comparing the established academic definitions of gnosticism to the now acquired Nag Hammadi library Nag Hammadi texts. The main points of the book are that there is no established definition of gnosticism by people who use the term, let alone the academic world and that the groups referred to as gnostic by the Christian church apologist s referred to themselves often by their leader or leaders names but no group referred to themselves as gnostic or gnostics . Also, Williams mentions the argument that none of the groups labeled gnostic shared a common set of beliefs that put them in a group together. The only things close to this would be the Christian heresiographical use of referring to these varied groups as gnostics . As well as the varied set of interruptions of the creator of the material world Yahweh or demiurge by these early groups. Finally Williams clarifies that the ancient gnosticism of the Nag Hammadi groups and the misused gnosticism of moderns groups and academia have little if anything in common. Williams suggests a better and more adequate term for these heresy heretical groups would be biblical demiurge demiurgical traditions .
