  2. Waste stabilization pond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waste_stabilization_pond

    Waste stabilization ponds reproduce these biological phenomena before they take place in the receiving surface water and cause the pollution problems due to oxygen consumption. The ponds receive wastewater, and, by natural processes similar to those that take place in the surface waters, carry out stabilization of the organic matter inside them ...

  3. Vertical stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_stabilizer

    The vertical stabilizer is the fixed vertical surface of the empennage. A vertical stabilizer or tail fin [1] [2] is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. [1] The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widerøe_Flight_933

    The direct cause of the accident is presumed to be the collapse of the vertical stabilizer. There are two alternative explanations for how the crash may have happened. The first explanation is the lack of vertical control caused by the broken elevator torque tube stalled the aircraft. Because of the lack of pitch control, it would have been ...

    Water stagnation for as little as six days can completely change bacterial community composition and increase cell count. [3] Stagnant water may be classified into the following basic, although overlapping, types: Water body stagnation (stagnation in swamp, lake, lagoon, river, etc.) Surface and ground water stagnation; Trapped water stagnation.

  9. Flight control surfaces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_control_surfaces

    The rudder is typically mounted on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, part of the empennage. When the pilot pushes the left pedal, the rudder deflects left. Pushing the right pedal causes the rudder to deflect right. Deflecting the rudder right pushes the tail left and causes the nose to yaw to the right.
