  2. Decoupage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decoupage

    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".

  3. Construction grammar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_grammar

    Fluid construction grammar (FCG) was designed by Luc Steels and his collaborators for doing experiments on the origins and evolution of language. [ 29 ] [ 30 ] FCG is a fully operational and computationally implemented formalism for construction grammars and proposes a uniform mechanism for parsing and production.

  4. Cut-up technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut-up_technique

    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. The concept can be traced to the Dadaists of the 1920s, but it was developed and popularized in the 1950s and early 1960s, especially by ...

  5. PDF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF

    A PDF file is organized using ASCII characters, except for certain elements that may have binary content. The file starts with a header containing a magic number (as a readable string) and the version of the format, for example %PDF-1.7. The format is a subset of a COS ("Carousel" Object Structure) format. [23]

  6. History of PDF - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_PDF

    History of PDF. The Portable Document Format (PDF) was created by Adobe Systems, introduced at the Windows and OS/2 Conference in January 1993 and remained a proprietary format until it was released as an open standard in 2008. Since then, it has been under the control of an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) committee of ...

  7. Rheology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheology

    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. [1 ...

  8. History of fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_fluid_mechanics

    History of fluid mechanics. The history of fluid mechanics is a fundamental strand of the history of physics and engineering. The study of the movement of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces that act upon them dates back to pre-history. The field has undergone a continuous evolution, driven by human dependence on water, meteorological ...

  9. Deborah number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_number

    Deborah number. The Deborah number (De) is a dimensionless number, often used in rheology to characterize the fluidity of materials under specific flow conditions. It quantifies the observation that given enough time even a solid-like material might flow, or a fluid-like material can act solid when it is deformed rapidly enough.
