  2. No audible release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_audible_release

    In most dialects of English, the first stop of a cluster has no audible release, as in apt [ˈæp̚t], doctor [ˈdɒk̚tə], or logged on [ˌlɒɡ̚dˈɒn].Although such sounds are frequently described as "unreleased", the reality is that since the two consonants overlap, the release of the former takes place during the hold of the latter, masking the former's release and making it inaudible.

  3. Voice (phonetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice_(phonetics)

    The difference between the unvoiced stop phonemes and the voiced stop phonemes is not just a matter of whether articulatory voicing is present or not. Rather, it includes when voicing starts (if at all), the presence of aspiration (airflow burst following the release of the closure) and the duration of the closure and aspiration.

  4. Unresolved complex mixture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unresolved_Complex_Mixture

    Unresolved complex mixture (UCM), or hump, is a feature frequently observed in gas chromatographic (GC) data of crude oils and extracts from organisms exposed to oil. [1] The reason for the UCM hump appearance is that GC cannot resolve and identify a significant part of the hydrocarbons in crude oils. The resolved components appear as peaks ...

  5. Tap and flap consonants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_and_flap_consonants

    The main difference between a tap or flap and a stop is that in a tap/flap there is no buildup of air pressure behind the place of articulation and consequently no release burst. Otherwise a tap/flap is similar to a brief stop. Taps and flaps also contrast with trills, where the airstream causes the articulator to vibrate. Trills may be ...

  6. Plosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plosive

    The terms stop, occlusive, and plosive are often used interchangeably. Linguists who distinguish them may not agree on the distinction being made. The terms refer to different features of the consonant. "Stop" refers to the airflow that is stopped. "Occlusive" refers to the articulation, which occludes (blocks) the vocal tract.

  7. Upper-convected Maxwell model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper-convected_Maxwell_model

    For this case only two components of the shear stress became non-zero: = ˙ and = ˙ where ˙ is the shear rate.. Thus, the upper-convected Maxwell model predicts for the simple shear that shear stress to be proportional to the shear rate and the first difference of normal stresses is proportional to the square of the shear rate, the second difference of normal stresses is always zero.

  8. Non-stop flight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stop_flight

    But as aviation technology developed and aircraft capability improved, non-stop flights began to take over and have now become a dominant form of flight in the modern times. The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 eventually opened up Russian airspace, allowing commercial airlines to exploit new circum polar routes and enabling many new non ...

  9. NonStop (server computers) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NonStop_(server_computers)

    NonStop is a series of server computers introduced to market in 1976 by Tandem Computers Inc., [1] beginning with the NonStop product line. [2] It was followed by the Tandem Integrity NonStop line of lock-step fault-tolerant computers, now defunct (not to be confused with the later and much different Hewlett-Packard Integrity product line extension).
