From left to right: a field with a source, a field with a sink, a field without either. In the physical sciences, engineering and mathematics, sources and sinks is an analogy used to describe properties of vector fields. It generalizes the idea of fluid sources and sinks (like the faucet and drain of a bathtub) across different scientific ...
[8] [11] Such properties depend on the particles in vitreous china's glass mixture, which can vary in type, size (1-50μm), distribution or shape. [11] The amount of mullite in vitreous china, which is determined by the amount of clay in the starting mixture, is the primary determinant for creep rate during firing.
The source Q is the flux of material into the reservoir, and the sink S is the flux of material out of the reservoir. The budget is the check and balance of the sources and sinks affecting material turnover in a reservoir. The reservoir is in a steady state if Q = S, that is, if the sources balance the sinks and there is no change over time. [25]
A sink/basin in a bathroom Enamel washbowl and jug Sink in Croatian National Theater in Zagreb, Croatia. A sink (also known as basin in the UK) is a bowl-shaped plumbing fixture for washing hands, dishwashing, and other purposes. Sinks have a tap (faucet) that supplies hot and cold water and may include a spray feature
Depending on water losses, precipitation, and inflow (e.g., a spring, a tributary, or flooding), the temporal result of a lake in a sink may change. The lake could be a persistent lake, an intermittent lake, a playa lake (temporarily covered with water), or an ephemeral lake, which completely disappears (e. g. by evaporation) before reappearing in wetter seasons.

Quizlet is a multi-national American company that provides tools for studying and learning. [1] Quizlet was founded in October 2005 by Andrew Sutherland, who at the time was a 15-year old student, [ 2 ] and released to the public in January 2007. [ 3 ]
The second sulfur sink is pyrite burial in shelf sediments or deep seafloor sediments (4 × 10 13 g/year; δ 34 S = -20‰). [94] The total marine sulfur output flux is 1.0 × 10 14 g/year which matches the input fluxes, implying the modern marine sulfur budget is at steady state. [93] The residence time of sulfur in modern global oceans is ...
