  2. Cetacean surfacing behaviour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetacean_surfacing_behaviour

    Cetacean surfacing behaviour is a grouping of movement types that cetaceans make at the water's surface in addition to breathing. Cetaceans have developed and use surface behaviours for many functions such as display, feeding and communication.

  3. Tribology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribology

    Tribology is the science and engineering of understanding friction, lubrication and wear phenomena for interacting surfaces in relative motion.It is highly interdisciplinary, drawing on many academic fields, including physics, chemistry, materials science, mathematics, biology and engineering.

    vertical dimension, with surface behavior and deep attitudes that guide that behavior; progressive dimension, which is the series of behaviors that lead to attaining a goal; transverse dimension, which is the simultaneous coordination of elementary behaviors into complex acts.

  5. Emotional labor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_labor

    Emotional labor is the process of managing feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job. [1] [2] More specifically, workers are expected to regulate their personas during interactions with customers, co-workers, clients, and managers.

  6. Percolation surface critical behavior - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percolation_surface...

    In an other model for surface behavior, the surface bonds are made occupied with a different probability , while the bulk is kept at the normal bulk value. When p ( s ) {\displaystyle p^{(s)}} is increased to a higher value, a new "special" critical point is reached p c ( s ) {\displaystyle p_{c}^{(s)}} , which has a different set of critical ...

  7. Plasma surface interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_surface_interaction

    For a fusion reactor to be viable, it must have a robust boundary solution that addresses several key challenges simultaneously: managing power exhaust to keep wall heat loads within material limits, ensuring efficient removal of fusion ash by maintaining sufficient neutral pressure for pumping, minimizing the sputtering of high-Z impurities (e ...

  8. Boundary layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_layer

    In the theory of heat transfer, a thermal boundary layer occurs. A surface can have multiple types of boundary layer simultaneously. The viscous nature of airflow reduces the local velocities on a surface and is responsible for skin friction. The layer of air over the wing's surface that is slowed down or stopped by viscosity, is the boundary ...

  9. Surface finish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finish

    Surface finish, also known as surface texture or surface topography, is the nature of a surface as defined by the three characteristics of lay, surface roughness, and waviness. [1] It comprises the small, local deviations of a surface from the perfectly flat ideal (a true plane ).
