The fundamental principles that govern the motion of fluids. This article is concerned with these principles and the manner in which they are applied to problems of practical interest. It is assumed that a fluid can be modeled as a continuum and that the details of the molecular structure will appear only in the coefficients associated with constitutive equations or equations of state.
Industry:Science
Sweet or sour fruit of the<i> Prunus</i> genus, having cultivated and wild varieties.
Industry:Science
The application of finely ground glass, or glass-forming materials, or a mixture of both, to a ceramic body and heating (firing) to a temperature where the material or materials melt, forming a coating of glass on the surface of the ware. Glazes are used to decorate the ware, to protect against moisture absorption, to give an easily cleaned sanitary surface, and to hide a poor body color.
Industry:Science
The deliberate, directed reproduction of plants using plant cells, tissues, or organs.
Industry:Science
The fifth period of the Paleozoic Era. The Mississippian System (referring to rocks) or Period (referring to time during which these rocks were deposited) is employed in North America as the lower (or older) subdivision of the Carboniferous, as used on other continents.

The largest order of liverworts, often called the leafy liverworts; it consists of 43 families. The leaves are in three rows, with the underleaves usually reduced or lacking. Other distinctive features include a perianth formed by a fusion of modified leaves, a short-lived seta, and a four-valved capsule. The leaves have an embryonic bilobed phase which may be lost on further development.
Industry:Science
The application of the physical properties of energy transformations to biological systems.
Industry:Science
The enzymatic destruction of proteins. Like other macromolecular (large) components of an organism, proteins are in a dynamic state of synthesis (generation) and degradation (destruction, proteolysis). During proteolysis, the peptide bond that links the amino acids to one another is hydrolyzed, and free amino acids are released. The process is carried out by a group of enzymes called proteases.
Industry:Science
The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes.
