    Skin sloughing is the process of shedding dead surface cells from the skin. It is most associated with cosmetic skin maintenance via exfoliation , but can also occur biologically or for medical reasons.

  3. Law of triviality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_triviality

    The law of triviality is C. Northcote Parkinson's 1957 argument that people within an organization commonly give disproportionate weight to trivial issues. [1] Parkinson provides the example of a fictional committee whose job was to approve the plans for a nuclear power plant spending the majority of its time on discussions about relatively minor but easy-to-grasp issues, such as what ...

    Having joined YouTube in 2011, Reeder initially began posting videos of his experiments to show to his grandmother: "I would do science experiments all the time anyway ... Then other people started watching them", he explained in a 2017 interview. [11] His channel Cody'sLab reached 100,000 subscribers in October 2015.

    Visualisation of the vortex street behind a circular cylinder in air; the flow is made visible through release of glycerol vapour in the air near the cylinder. In fluid dynamics, a Kármán vortex street (or a von Kármán vortex street) is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices, caused by a process known as vortex shedding, which is responsible for the unsteady separation of flow of a fluid ...

    This "bicycle shed effect" is easily explained: true expertise on nuclear plants is rare, while everybody can have a say about bicycle sheds, and refreshments are clear and dear to all. Sadly, the "bicycle shed effect" can be noted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and theoretically every Wikipedian is working to build it.

    Vaccine shedding is a form of viral shedding [1] [2] which can occasionally occur following a viral infection caused by an attenuated (or "live virus") vaccine. Illness in others resulting from transmission through this type of viral shedding is rare. [3] [4] The idea of shedding is a popular anti-vaccination myth. [5]
