A polytropic process is a thermodynamic process that obeys the relation: = where p is the pressure , V is volume , n is the polytropic index , and C is a constant. The polytropic process equation describes expansion and compression processes which include heat transfer.
The particular choice of a polytropic gas as given above makes the mathematical statement of the problem particularly succinct and leads to the Lane–Emden equation. The equation is a useful approximation for self-gravitating spheres of plasma such as stars, but typically it is a rather limiting assumption.
A polytrope with index n = 3 is a good model for the cores of white dwarfs of higher masses, according to the equation of state of relativistic degenerate matter. [7] A polytrope with index n = 3 is usually also used to model main-sequence stars like the Sun, at least in the radiation zone, corresponding to the Eddington standard model of ...
A freshwater aquatic food web. The blue arrows show a complete food chain (algae → daphnia → gizzard shad → largemouth bass → great blue heron). A food web is the natural interconnection of food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.
An example of a topological food web (image courtesy of USDA) [1]. The soil food web is the community of organisms living all or part of their lives in the soil. It describes a complex living system in the soil and how it interacts with the environment, plants, and animals.

Most commercially produced dog food is made with animal feed grade ingredients and comes dry in bags (also known in the US as kibble) or wet in cans. Dry food contains 6–10% moisture by volume, as compared to 60–90% in canned food. Semi-moist products typically run 25–35%.
