Pyramid decoupage (also called pyramage) is a process similar to 3D decoupage. In pyramid decoupage, a series of identical images are cut into progressively smaller, identical shapes which are layered and fixed with adhesive foam spacers to create a 3D "pyramid" effect. A person who does decoupage is known as a decoupeur, or "cutter".
A text created from lines of a newspaper tourism article. The cut-up technique (or découpé in French) is an aleatory narrative technique in which a written text is cut up and rearranged to create a new text.

Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other kinds of stone. [1] The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size ...

The Process was his first full-length novel. Described by The Overlook Press (which published a posthumous edition in 1987) as "a powerfully psychological ...
A prolific author of texts in his field, his two-volume treatise, The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow, published in 1953 and 1954, is considered a classic. [3] His 1961 book Shape and Flow: The Fluid Dynamics of Drag explained boundary layer phenomena and drag in simple, non-mathematical terms. [4]
Rheology (/ riːˈɒlədʒi /; from Greek ῥέω (rhéō) 'flow' and -λoγία (-logia) 'study of') is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a fluid (liquid or gas) state but also as "soft solids " or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force.

Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.
