  2. Texture mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping

    Texture streaming is a means of using data streams for textures, where each texture is available in two or more different resolutions, as to determine which texture should be loaded into memory and used based on draw distance from the viewer and how much memory is available for textures. Texture streaming allows a rendering engine to use low ...

    Fluted moraines mainly developed in till surfaces on land, but some have been found in shallow glacimarine settings. [1] [2] [3] Finally, in glaciology, fluting is used in older publications for smooth, deep, gutterlike channels or furrows cut by glaciers into the stoss side of a rocky hill obstructing its advance. Fluting is larger than ...

  7. Honeycomb structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeycomb_structure

    A composite sandwich panel (A) with honeycomb core (C) and face sheets (B) In combination with two skins applied on the honeycomb, the structure offers a sandwich panel with excellent rigidity at minimal weight. The behavior of the honeycomb structures is orthotropic, meaning the panels react differently depending on the orientation of the ...

  9. Flute (glacial) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flute_(glacial)

    A fluted moraine, also called a fluted moraine surface, is a moraine whose surface exhibits numerous glacial flutes. The long axes of these flutes are parallel to the flow direction of the glacier. Fluted moraines are typically associated with terrestrial glaciers, but some have been found in glaciomarine settings.
