  2. Lamb waves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_waves

    This phrase is quite often encountered in non-destructive testing. "Guided Lamb Waves" can be defined as Lamb-like waves that are guided by the finite dimensions of real test objects. To add the prefix "guided" to the phrase "Lamb wave" is thus to recognize that Lamb's infinite plate is, in reality, nowhere to be found.

  3. Nutritional muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritional_muscular_dystrophy

    EDM is a more severe form of NAD. The diseases are characterized by the damage and degeneration of the central nervous system. This disease process is heritable in certain breed bloodlines, such as Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, Morgan, Lusitano, and Arabian. It is hypothesized that horses develop this disease continuum because they have a defect in ...

  4. Electromagnetic radiation and health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_radiation...

    Studies have been performed on the use of shortwave radiation for cancer therapy and promoting wound healing, with some success. However, at a sufficiently high energy level, shortwave energy can be harmful to human health, potentially causing damage to biological tissues, for example by overheating or inducing electrical currents. [28]

  5. Rayleigh wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_wave

    Due to their higher speed, the P and S waves generated by an earthquake arrive before the surface waves. However, the particle motion of surface waves is larger than that of body waves, so the surface waves tend to cause more damage. In the case of Rayleigh waves, the motion is of a rolling nature, similar to an ocean surface wave. The ...

  6. Kuru (disease) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

    When villagers ate the brain, they contracted the disease and then spread it to other villagers who ate their infected brains. [5] While the Fore people stopped eating human meat in the early 1960s, when this was first speculated as the cause, the disease lingered due to kuru's long incubation period of anywhere from 10 to over 50 years. [6]

  7. Orf (disease) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orf_(disease)

    Orf is a zoonotic disease, meaning humans can contract this disorder through direct contact with infected sheep and goats or with fomites carrying the orf virus. [6] It causes a purulent-appearing papule locally and generally no systemic symptoms.

    In many cases, however, there were dangerous waves at the locations before sneaker wave damage. To avoid sneaker waves, the NWS advises beachgoers to heed advisories and observe waves before ...

  9. Lymphangioleiomyomatosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

    LAM occurs in two settings: in the disease tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC-LAM) and in a sporadic form, in women who do not have TSC (sporadic LAM). [ 17 ] [ 18 ] In both settings, genetic evidence indicates that LAM is caused by inactivating or "loss of function" mutations in the TSC1 or TSC2 genes, which were cloned in 1997 and 1993 ...
