Suspension (chemistry) A suspension of flour mixed in a glass of water, showing the Tyndall effect. In chemistry, a suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of a fluid that contains solid particles sufficiently large for sedimentation. The particles may be visible to the naked eye, usually must be larger than one micrometer, and will eventually ...
Prevalent and shy sets. In mathematics, the notions of prevalence and shyness are notions of "almost everywhere" and "measure zero" that are well-suited to the study of infinite - dimensional spaces and make use of the translation-invariant Lebesgue measure on finite-dimensional real spaces. The term "shy" was suggested by the American ...
Suspension (topology) Suspension of a circle. The original space is in blue, and the collapsed end points are in green. In topology, a branch of mathematics, the suspension of a topological space X is intuitively obtained by stretching X into a cylinder and then collapsing both end faces to points. One views X as "suspended" between these end ...
Suspension and Expulsion: Where no other solution for bullying is working, or in cases where the bullying is very severe, it may be necessary to suspend or expel the offender. [ citation needed ] Severe measures such as detention, expulsion, and suspension could however also have iatrogenic effects and increase aggression.

1. A strap running from a horse's back, over the head, to a bit, to prevent the horse from lowering its head beyond a fixed point. Used with harness ed horses. [12]: 20. 2. A riding aid where the rein is applied to the horse's neck on the side towards the turn. Opposite of a neck rein. [1]: 19.
Suspension (chemistry), small solid particles suspended in a liquid. Colloidal suspension. Suspension (mechanics), system allowing a machine to move smoothly with reduced shock. Suspensory behavior, arboreal locomotion of primates. Suspend to disk, also known as hibernation, powering down a computer while retaining its state.
Anti-roll bar. An anti-roll bar (in black) on the rear of a Porsche, which traverses the underside of the car. Flexible bushings attach it to the chassis. Also visible on the right is one of the links that connect the bar to the suspension (drop link). These twist the anti-roll bar when the vehicle is cornering, resisting body roll.
