  2. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    Dynamic balancing was formerly the province of expensive equipment, but users with just occasional need to quench running vibrations may use the built in accelerometers of a smart phone and a spectrum analysis application. See ref 3 for example. A less tedious means of achieving dynamic balance requires just four measurements.

  3. Transcellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcellular_transport

    Examples of molecules that follow this process are potassium K +, sodium Na +, and calcium Ca 2+. A place in the human body where this occurs is in the intestines with the uptake of glucose . Secondary active transport is when one solute moves down the electrochemical gradient to produce enough energy to force the transport of another solute ...

  4. Active transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_transport

    There are two types of active transport: primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient. This process is in contrast to passive transport , which allows molecules or ions to move down their concentration gradient, from an area of high concentration to an area ...

  5. Mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_balance

    The concept is the same as for a large mass balance, but it is performed in the context of a limiting system (for example, one can consider the limiting case in time or, more commonly, volume). A differential mass balance is used to generate differential equations that can provide an effective tool for modelling and understanding the target system.

  6. Balancing selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_selection

    Two active grove snails. A second kind of selection also operates on the snail, whereby certain heterozygotes have a physiological advantage over the homozygotes. Thirdly, apostatic selection is likely, with the birds preferentially taking the most common morph. This is the 'search pattern' effect, where a predominantly visual predator persists ...

  7. Osmoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmoregulation

    Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated.

  9. Battery balancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_balancing

    Balancing can be active or passive. [3] The term battery regulator typically refers only to devices that perform passive balancing. A full BMS might include active balancing as well as temperature monitoring, charging, and other features to maximize the life of a battery pack.
