  2. Casting defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casting_defect

    Nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen are the most encountered gases in cases of gas porosity. [6] In aluminium castings, hydrogen is the only gas that dissolves in significant quantity, which can result in hydrogen gas porosity. [9] For casting that are a few kilograms in weight the pores are usually 0.01 to 0.5 mm (0.0004 to 0.02 in) in size.

  3. Swelling index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swelling_index

    Swelling index may refer to the following material parameters that quantify volume change: Crucible swelling index, also known as free swelling index, in coal assay; Swelling capacity, the amount of a liquid that can be absorbed by a polymer; Shrinkswell capacity in soil mechanics; Unload-reload constant (κ) in critical state soil mechanics

  4. Shrink–swell capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkswell_capacity

    The shrinkswell capacity of soils refers to the extent certain clay minerals will expand when wet and retract when dry. Soil with a high shrinkswell capacity is problematic and is known as shrinkswell soil, or expansive soil . [ 1 ]

    Sea State 5 and 8 range. In oceanography, sea state is the general condition of the free surface on a large body of water—with respect to wind waves and swell—at a certain location and moment. A sea state is characterized by statistics, including the wave height, period, and spectrum. The sea state varies with time, as the wind and swell ...

    The abdomen begins to swell due to gas formation. 3–4 days: The discoloration spreads and discolored veins become visible. 5–6 days: The abdomen swells noticeably and the skin blisters. 10–20 days: Black putrefaction occurs, which is when noxious odors are released from the body and the parts of the body undergo a black discoloration.

  7. Shrinkage (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinkage_(statistics)

    In statistics, shrinkage is the reduction in the effects of sampling variation. In regression analysis, a fitted relationship appears to perform less well on a new data set than on the data set used for fitting. [1]

    Resination [16] of cotton in case of woven materials. Heat setting, Pre-heat-setting and post-heat setting of synthetic and blended fabrics Heat setting is a thermal process taking place mostly in either a steam atmosphere or a dry heat environment. The effect of the process gives fibers, yarns or fabric dimensional stability).

  9. Shrink ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrink_ray

    The shrink ray turns out to be faulty, however, as shrunken items return to normal size after a period of time. A shrink ray is a recurring device shown in Venture Brothers, although it never seems to actually work properly. In Despicable Me, Gru used a shrink ray to shrink the Moon and pocket it. The effects of the shrink ray are only ...
