  2. Phorusrhacidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phorusrhacidae

    Analysis of the resistance of the toes based on biomechanical models of curved beams, in particular of the second toe and its nail claw, indicate that it was modified into a "sickle claw" and was relatively uniform in various species and said claw would be relatively curved and large, which implies the need to keep it elevated to avoid wear or ...

  3. Warnier/Orr diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnier/Orr_diagram

    A Warnier/Orr diagram (also known as a logical construction of a program/system) is a kind of hierarchical flowchart that allows the description of the organization of data and procedures. They were initially developed 1976, [ 1 ] in France by Jean-Dominique Warnier [ 2 ] and in the United States by Kenneth Orr [ 3 ] on the foundation of ...

  4. System context diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_context_diagram

    A context diagram can also list the classifications of the external entities as one of a set of simple categories [5] (Examples: [6]), which add clarity to the level of involvement of the entity with regards to the system. These categories include: Active: Dynamic to achieve some goal or purpose (Examples: "Article readers" or "customers").

  5. Failure reporting, analysis, and corrective action system

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_reporting...

    Failure Reporting (FR). The failures and the faults related to a system, a piece of equipment, a piece of software or a process are formally reported through a standard form (Defect Report, Failure Report). Analysis (A). Perform analysis in order to identify the root cause of failure. Corrective Actions (CA).

  6. Beak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beak

    Most species of birds have external nares located somewhere on their beak. The nares are two holes—circular, oval or slit-like in shape—which lead to the nasal cavities within the bird's skull, and thus to the rest of the respiratory system. [10] (p375) In most bird species, the nares are located in the basal third of the upper mandible.

  7. N2 chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N2_Chart

    N 2 chart example. [1] The N 2 chart or N 2 diagram (pronounced "en-two" or "en-squared") is a chart or diagram in the shape of a matrix, representing functional or physical interfaces between system elements. It is used to systematically identify, define, tabulate, design, and analyze functional and physical interfaces.

  8. Nostril - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostril

    A nostril (or naris / ˈ n ɛər ɪ s /, pl.: nares / ˈ n ɛər iː z /) is either of the two orifices of the nose. They enable the entry and exit of air and other gasses through the nasal cavities. In birds and mammals, they contain branched bones or cartilages called turbinates, whose function is to warm air on inhalation and remove moisture ...

  9. Function analysis diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_analysis_diagram

    A function analysis diagram (FAD) is a method used in engineering design to model and visualize the functions and interactions between components of a system or product. It represents the functional relationships through a diagram consisting of blocks, which represent physical components, and labeled relations/arrows between them, which represent useful or harmful functional interactions.
