Android (TVXQ song)

"Android" (stylized as "ANDROID") is the 35th Japanese single by South Korean pop duo Tohoshinki. It was released on July 11, 2012 as the third single from their sixth Japanese studio album, Time (2013). The single pushed the group's total single sales in Japan to over 3.1 million, the highest of any foreign artist in the country. "Android" was released in three editions – a CD+DVD version, a CD-only version, and a Bigeast Board edition.

Produced and co-written by Emil Carlin, "Android" is a dubstep song with a futuristic theme. It peaked at number one on Japan's Oricon weekly charts, and was the fourth best-selling single of the month. It also peaked at number two on Billboard's Japan Hot 100 and Japan Hot Singles Sales charts. After the first week of release, it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).

Background and release

"Android" was released on July 11, 2012. The song was first played on Bay FM radio in Japan on the night of June 16, 2012, a month prior to its release. "Android" was the first dance-orientated track the duo has released since "Superstar" and "B.U.T.", both which were released in 2011. The single was offered digitally via iTunes Japan, as well as three physical editions. The regular edition CD, a limited edition CD+DVD combo with the "Android" music video as well as an "Off-Shot Movie," and the CD+DVD, all which contained the title track "Android" and the B-side "Blink", which was written by Johan Gustafson, Fredrik Haggstam, Sebastian Lundberg and Andrew Jackson.

Methyltestosterone

Methyltestosterone (brand names:Android, Androral, Oraviron, Testred, Virilon), also known as 17α-methyltestosterone, is a 17α-alkylated anabolic steroid used to treat males with a testosterone deficiency. It bears close structural similarity to testosterone, but has a methyl group at C17 in order to increase oral bioavailability. Due to aromatization to the metabolization-resistant estrogen 17α-methylestradiol, methyltestosterone has relatively high estrogenicity and hence side effects such as gynecomastia.

Wear

Wear is related to interactions between surfaces and specifically the removal and deformation of material on a surface as a result of mechanical action of the opposite surface.

In materials science, wear is erosion or sideways displacement of material from its "derivative" and original position on a solid surface performed by the action of another surface.

Wear of metals occurs by the plastic displacement of surface and near-surface material and by the detachment of particles that form wear debris. This process may occur by contact with other metals, nonmetallic solids, flowing liquids, or solid particles or liquid droplets entrained in flowing gasses.

Wear can also be defined as a process where interaction between two surfaces or bounding faces of solids within the working environment results in dimensional loss of one solid, with or without any actual decoupling and loss of material. Aspects of the working environment which affect wear include loads and features such as unidirectional sliding, reciprocating, rolling, and impact loads, speed, temperature, but also different types of counter-bodies such as solid, liquid or gas and type of contact ranging between single phase or multiphase, in which the last multiphase may combine liquid with solid particles and gas bubbles.

Jibe

A jibe (US) or gybe (Britain) is a sailing maneuver whereby a sailing vessel reaching downwind turns its stern through the wind, such that the wind direction changes from one side of the boat to the other. For square-rigged ships, this maneuver is called wearing ship.

In this maneuver, the mainsail will cross the center of the boat while the jib is pulled to the other side of the boat. If the spinnaker is up, the pole will have to be manually moved to the other side, to remain opposite the mainsail. In a dinghy, raising the centerboard can increase the risk of capsizing during what can be a somewhat violent maneuver, although the opposite is true of a dinghy with a flat, planing hull profile: raising the centerboard reduces heeling moment during the manouevre and so reduces the risk of capsize.

The other way to change the side of the boat that faces the wind is turning the bow of the boat into, and then through, the direction of the wind. This operation is known as tacking or coming about. Tacking more than 180° to avoid a jibe is sometimes referred to as a 'chicken jibe'.
