  2. Textile performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_performance

    Thermoregulation in humans and thermophysiological comfort: Thermophysiological comfort is the capacity of the clothing material that makes the balance of moisture and heat between the body and the environment. It is a property of textile materials that creates ease by maintaining moisture and thermal levels in a human's resting and active states.

  3. Regeneration in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regeneration_in_humans

    Some tissues such as skin, the vas deferens, and large organs including the liver can regrow quite readily, while others have been thought to have little or no capacity for regeneration following an injury. Numerous tissues and organs have been induced to regenerate. Bladders have been 3D-printed in the lab since 1999.

  4. Process capability index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_capability_index

    The process capability index, or process capability ratio, is a statistical measure of process capability: the ability of an engineering process to produce an output within specification limits. [1] The concept of process capability only holds meaning for processes that are in a state of statistical control. This means it cannot account for ...

    The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera).

  6. Foam Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_Index

    The Foam Index Test was developed to measure capacities of AEA for cement-mineral admixtures during concrete mixing. [ 2 ] The Foam Index Test is a laboratory titration procedure which determines the AEA absorption on fly ash or fly ash and cement mixtures.

  7. Homeostatic capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_capacity

    Homeostatic capacity refers to the capability of systems to self-stabilize in response to external forces or stressors, or more simply the capability of systems to maintain homeostasis. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For living organisms , it is life's foundational trait, consisting of a hierarchy and network of traits endowed by nature and shaped by natural ...

  8. Assimilative capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assimilative_capacity

    Assimilative capacity is the ability for pollutants to be absorbed by an environment without detrimental effects to the environment or those who use of it. [1] Natural absorption into an environment is achieved through dilution , dispersion and removal through chemical or biological processes . [ 1 ]

  9. Self-healing concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-healing_concrete

    The human cardiovascular system, which conducts blood throughout the body, and the plant vascular tissue system, which transports food, water, and minerals via xylem and phloem networks, are examples of vascular network systems. Similarly, vascular networks in concrete may transport liquid healing chemicals to damaged areas.
