Population transfer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2741 words) |
 | Population transfer is a term referring to a policy by which a state, or international authority, forces the movement of a large group of people out of a region, most frequently on the basis of their ethnicity or religion. |
| Two famous transfers connected with the history of France are the expulsion of the Muslims in the 13th century, and of the Huguenots who were declared illegal by the Edict of Fontainebleau, 1685. |
| Thus the "population transfer" was not the actual goal of the deportations (this was the elimination of the Armenians), but it was the means of achieving this goal. |
| energy transfer - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about energy transfer (930 words) |
| The transference of chemical energy to electrical energy can be achieved using a battery or a fuel cell. |
| When two different metals, such as magnesium and copper, are dipped into a conducting solution (the electrolyte), the more reactive magnesium acts as a cathode (negative electrode) and the less reactive copper acts as an anode (positive electrode). |
| The electrolyte transfers a flow of current from the electrons lost from the more reactive magnesium to the copper; the current can be used to light a small bulb. |
