  2. Target hardening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Target_hardening

    Target hardening, also referred to simply as hardening when made clear by the context, is a term used by police officers, those working in security, and the military referring to the strengthening of the security of a building or installation in order to protect it in the event of attack or reduce the risk of theft.

  3. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Nonpolar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is less than 0.5; Polar bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is roughly between 0.5 and 2.0; Ionic bonds generally occur when the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms is greater than 2.0

  4. Strengthening mechanisms of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengthening_mechanisms...

    At 0-D there is precipitate and solid solution strengthening with particulates strengthening structure, at 1-D there is work/forest hardening with line dislocations as the hardening mechanism, and at 2-D there is grain boundary strengthening with surface energy of granular interfaces providing strength improvement.

  5. Hardness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness

    The underlying problem is that metals with a range of combinations of yield stress and work hardening characteristics can exhibit the same hardness number. The use of hardness numbers for any quantitative purpose should, at best, be approached with considerable caution.

  6. Curing (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_(chemistry)

    Curing is a chemical process employed in polymer chemistry and process engineering that produces the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains. [1] Even if it is strongly associated with the production of thermosetting polymers , the term "curing" can be used for all the processes where a solid product is ...

  7. Nonprofit Security Grant Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonprofit_Security_Grant...

    The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP), previously the Urban Areas Security Initiative Nonprofit Security Grant Program (UASI NSGP), is a grant program administered by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that provides funding for target hardening and physical security enhancements to non-profit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack.

  8. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(chemistry)

    The polarity is due to the electronegativity of the atom of oxygen: oxygen is more electronegative than the atoms of hydrogen, so the electrons they share through the covalent bonds are more often close to oxygen rather than hydrogen. These are called polar covalent bonds, covalent bonds between atoms that thus become oppositely charged. [1]

  9. Intramolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramolecular_force

    The bond length, or the minimum separating distance between two atoms participating in bond formation, is determined by their repulsive and attractive forces along the internuclear direction. [3] As the two atoms get closer and closer, the positively charged nuclei repel, creating a force that attempts to push the atoms apart.
