Proper posture is often referred to as a "neutral spine"; slouching is an improper posture or a "nonneutral spine". Slouching is often described as improper posture, movement or rigidity of the spine, especially the cervical and thoracic regions, in relation to other parts of the body.
Postural kyphosis (M40.0), the most common type, normally attributed to slouching, can occur in both the old [7] and the young. In the young, it can be called "slouching" and is reversible by correcting muscular imbalances. In the old, it may be a case of hyperkyphosis and called "dowager's hump".
According to the Mohr-Coulomb equation, the cohesion of a soil is defined as the shear strength at zero normal pressure on the surface of failure. [4] The shear force is a function of cohesion, normal stress on rupture surface, and angle of internal friction.
Liquid sloshing strongly influences the directional dynamics and safety performance of highway tank vehicles in a highly adverse manner. [21] Hydrodynamic forces and moments arising from liquid cargo oscillations in the tank under steering and/or braking maneuvers reduce the stability limit and controllability of partially-filled tank vehicles.
Keratinocytes are the main cell type of the epidermis. They form several layers of the skin. Life for a keratinocyte begins at the stratum basale layer. Cells here proliferate and move through the stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum.

A thesaurus (pl.: thesauri or thesauruses), sometimes called a synonym dictionary or dictionary of synonyms, is a reference work which arranges words by their meanings (or in simpler terms, a book where one can find different words with similar meanings to other words), [1] [2] sometimes as a hierarchy of broader and narrower terms, sometimes simply as lists of synonyms and antonyms.
