T.O. Morrow is a comic book supervillain published by DC Comics. The original T. O.

Morrow (Tomek Ovadya Morah) first appeared in The Flash vol. 2 #19 (December 1988) in a story by writer William Messner-Loebs and artist Jim Mooney. Both versions are usually referred to as "T.O.

Cao (Chinese surname)

Cao (/ˈtsaʊ/) is the pinyin romanization of the Chinese surname 曹 (Cáo).

It was listed 26th among the Song-era Hundred Family Surnames.

Romanizations

Cao is romanized as Ts'ao in Wade-Giles, although the needed apostrophe is often omitted in practice. It is romanized Cho, Cou, Tso, and Chaw in Cantonese; Chou, Chô, and Chháu in Min Nan; Chau, Chow in Teochew; and Tháu in Gan.

The Vietnamese surname based on it is now written Tào; the Korean surname is now written 조 and romanized as Jo or Cho; and the Japanese surname which still employs the same Kanji is romanized Sō.

Distribution

At last count, Cao was the 30th-most-common surname in mainland China and the 58th-most-common surname on Taiwan.

In the United States, the romanization Cao is a fairly common surname, ranked 7,425th during the 1990 census but 2,986th during the year 2000 census. It is one of the few Chinese surnames whose pinyin transcription is already more common than other variants. The Wade transcription Tsao was only ranked 16,306th during the 1990 census and 12,580th during the year 2000 one. The Cantonese transcription is actually becoming less common, falling from 7,638th place to 9,925th. The Korean name Cho is more common still than Cao, befitting its frequency in Korea itself, where it makes up about 2% of the South Korean population: see Cho (Korean name).

T/O

T/O might mean one of the followings:

Tritiated water

Tritiated water is a radioactive form of water where the usual hydrogen atoms are replaced with tritium. In its pure form it may be called tritium oxide (T₂O or ³H₂O) or super-heavy water. Pure T₂O is corrosive due to self-radiolysis. Diluted, tritiated water is mainly H₂O plus some HTO (³HOH). It is also used as a tracer for water transport studies in life-science research. Furthermore, since it naturally occurs in minute quantities, it can be used to determine the age of various water-based liquids, such as vintage wines.

It should not be confused with heavy water, which is deuterium oxide.

Applications

Tritiated water can be used to measure the total volume of water in one's body. Tritiated water distributes itself into all body compartments relatively quickly. The concentration of tritiated water in urine is assumed to be similar to the concentration of tritiated water in the body. Knowing the original amount of tritiated water that was ingested and the concentration, one can calculate the volume of water in the body.

Thorne–Żytkow object

A Thorne–Żytkow object (TŻO or TZO) is a type of star wherein a red giant or supergiant contains a neutron star at its core, formed from the collision of the giant with the neutron star. Such objects were hypothesized by Kip Thorne and Anna Żytkow in 1977. In 2014, it was discovered that the star HV 2112 was a strong candidate.

Formation

A Thorne–Żytkow object is formed when a neutron star collides with a star, typically a red giant or supergiant. The colliding objects can simply be wandering stars. This is only likely to occur in extremely crowded globular clusters. Alternatively, the neutron star could form in a binary system after one of the two stars went supernova. Because no supernova is perfectly symmetric, and because the binding energy of the binary changes with the mass lost in the supernova, the neutron star will be left with some velocity relative to its original orbit. This kick may cause its new orbit to intersect with its companion, or, if its companion is a main-sequence star, it may be engulfed when its companion evolves into a red giant.
