  2. Liquid breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing

    This is a great deal of fluid to move, particularly as liquids are more viscous and denser than gases, (for example water is about 850 times the density of air [52]). Any increase in the diver's metabolic activity also increases CO 2 production and the breathing rate, which is already at the limits of realistic flow rates in liquid breathing.

  3. Breathability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathability

    The water molecule is positively charged and the hydrophilic PU is negatively charged, attracting the water through the intermolecular gaps of the PU. Because the ionic bond is relatively weak, the water then gets pushed through the gaps until the water vapor passes all the way through.

  4. List of life sciences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_life_sciences

    For example, zoology is the study of animals, while botany is the study of plants. Other life sciences focus on aspects common to all or many life forms, such as anatomy and genetics . Some focus on the micro-scale (e.g. molecular biology , biochemistry ) other on larger scales (e.g. cytology , immunology , ethology , pharmacy, ecology).

  5. Modified atmosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_atmosphere

    Testing the atmosphere in a plastic bag of carrots. Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is the practice of modifying the composition of the internal atmosphere of a package (commonly food packages, drugs, etc.) in order to improve the shelf life.

  6. Dihydrogen monoxide parody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_parody

    Dihydrogen monoxide is a name for the water molecule, which comprises two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H 2 O).. The dihydrogen monoxide parody is a parody that involves referring to water by its unfamiliar chemical systematic name "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO, or the chemical formula H 2 O) and describing some properties of water in a particularly concerning manner — such as the ...

  7. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    The definition of a w is where p is the partial water vapor pressure in equilibrium with the solution, and p* is the (partial) vapor pressure of pure water at the same temperature. An alternate definition can be a w ≡ l w x w {\displaystyle a_{w}\equiv l_{w}x_{w}} where l w is the activity coefficient of water and x w is the mole fraction of ...

  8. Natural food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_food

    While almost all foodstuffs are derived from the natural products of plants and animals, [6] 'natural foods' are often assumed to be foods that are not processed, or do not contain any food additives, or do not contain particular additives such as hormones, antibiotics, sweeteners, food colors, preservatives, or flavorings that were not originally in the food. [7]

  9. Intermediate moisture food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_moisture_food

    Intermediate moisture foods (IMF) are shelf-stable products that have water activities of 0.6-0.85, with a moisture content ranging from 15% - 40% and are edible without rehydration. [1] These food products are below the minimum water activity for most bacteria (0.90), but are susceptible to yeast and mold growth .
