The blades are the most important part of a turbine: their design is crucial in capturing as much energy from the steam as possible and converting it into rotational energy by spinning the rotor round. All turbines have a set of rotating blades attached to the rotor and spin it around as steam hits them.
Gender variance is defined as the persistent sense that a person's gender identity is incongruent with the person's biological sex. The definition further excludes the element of persistence for persons under the age of 21 and including, without limitation, transitioned transsexuals.
Standard Deviation vs. Variance. Standard deviation and variance are statistical measures of dispersion of data, i.e., they represent how much variation there is from the average, or to what extent the values typically deviate from the mean (average). A variance or standard deviation of zero indicates that all the values are identical. Variance is the mean of the squares of the deviations (i.e., difference in values from the mean), and the standard deviation is the square root of that variance. Standard deviation is used to identify outliers in the data.
