  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The top and bottom example may be considered structurally equivalent, depending on the effective stiffness of the spring and beam element. A cantilever is a rigid structural element that extends horizontally and is unsupported at one end. Typically it extends from a flat vertical surface such as a wall, to which it must be firmly attached.

  3. Macrobenthos - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobenthos

    Macrobenthos consists of the organisms that live at the bottom of a water column [1] and are visible to the naked eye. [2] In some classification schemes, these organisms are larger than 1 mm; [1] in another, the smallest dimension must be at least 0.5 mm. [3] They include polychaete worms, pelecypods, anthozoans, echinoderms, sponges, ascidians, crustaceans.

  4. Chemical force microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_force_microscopy

    (Bottom) Cantilever functionalization is switched such that the tip is bent when encountering hydrophobic areas of the substrate instead. A quick note to mention is the work corresponding to the hysteresis in the force profile (Figure 2) does not correlate to the bond energy.

  5. Biological rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_rules

    The pygmy mammoth is an example of insular dwarfism, a case of Foster's rule, its unusually small body size an adaptation to the limited resources of its island home. A biological rule or biological law is a generalized law , principle , or rule of thumb formulated to describe patterns observed in living organisms.

  6. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

  7. Piezoresponse force microscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoresponse_force_microscopy

    Take as an example, the d 33 piezoelectric tensor coefficient of BaTiO 3, it has a value of 85.6 pm V −1 meaning that applying 1 V across the material results in a displacement of 85.6 pm or 0.0856 nm, a minute cantilever displacement even for the high precision of AFM deflection detection. In order to separate this low level signal from ...

  8. Benthic zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benthic_zone

    The benthic boundary layer, which includes the bottom layer of water and the uppermost layer of sediment directly influenced by the overlying water, is an integral part of the benthic zone, as it greatly influences the biological activity that takes place there. Examples of contact soil layers include sand bottoms, rocky outcrops, coral, and ...

  9. Probe tip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probe_Tip

    For example, carbon nanotube tips in conjunction with AFM provides an excellent tool for surface characterization in the nanometer realm. CNT tips are also used in tapping-mode Scanning Force Microscopy (SFM), which is a technique where a tip taps a surface by a cantilever driven near resonant frequency of the cantilever.
