  2. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    The collected water molecules are transported from leaf surfaces to an internal storage network via osmotic pressure with capacity sufficient for the plant's growing requirements. [ 1 ] The file snake ( Acrochordus granulatus ), from a family known as completely aquatic, has hygroscopic skin that serves as a water reservoir, retarding ...

  3. Gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin

    Gelatin is present in gelatin desserts, most gummy candy and marshmallows, ice creams, dips, and yogurts. [1] Gelatin for cooking comes as powder, granules, and sheets. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others must soak in water beforehand.

  4. Compositional data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositional_data

    In general, John Aitchison defined compositional data to be proportions of some whole in 1982. [1] In particular, a compositional data point (or composition for short) can be represented by a real vector with positive components. The sample space of compositional data is a simplex: = {= [,, …,] | >, =,, …,; = =}.

  5. Albumen print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albumen_print

    The albumen seals the paper and creates a slightly glossy surface for the sensitizer to rest on. The paper is then dipped in a solution of silver nitrate and water which renders the surface sensitive to UV light. The paper is then dried in the absence of UV light. The dried, prepared paper is placed in a frame in direct contact under a negative.

  6. Bloom (test) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_(test)

    Bloom is a test used to measure the strength of a gel, most commonly gelatin.The test was originally developed and patented in 1925 by Oscar T. Bloom. [1] The test determines the weight in grams needed by a specified plunger (normally with a diameter of 0.5 inch) to depress the surface of the gel by 4 mm without breaking it at a specified temperature. [2]

  7. Ballistic gelatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_gelatin

    Ballistic gelatin is traditionally a solution of gelatin powder in water. Ballistic gelatin closely simulates the density and viscosity of human and animal muscle tissue, and is used as a standardized medium for testing the terminal performance of firearms ammunition. While ballistic gelatin does not model the tensile strength of muscles or the ...

  8. Gelatin silver print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin_silver_print

    A gelatin silver print is composed of four layers: paper base, baryta, gelatin binder, and a protective gelatin layer or overcoat. The multi-layer structure of the gelatin silver print and the sensitivity of the silver imaging salts require specialized coating equipment and fastidious manufacturing technique to produce a consistent product that ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausner_ratio

    The Hausner ratio is a number that is correlated to the flowability of a powder or granular material. It is named after the engineer Henry H. Hausner (1900–1995). It is named after the engineer Henry H. Hausner (1900–1995).
