Applying force to oobleck, by sound waves in this case, makes the non-Newtonian fluid thicken. [21] An inexpensive, non-toxic example of a non-Newtonian fluid is a suspension of starch (e.g., cornstarch/cornflour) in water, sometimes called "oobleck", "ooze", or "magic mud" (1 part of water to 1.5–2 parts of corn starch).
An example of this is in Michigan, through a NPS (nonpoint source) program. This program helps stakeholders create watershed management plans to combat nonpoint source pollution. [ 18 ]
Logo of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), an organization of the United Nations. A nonprofit organization (NPO), also known as a nonbusiness entity, [1] nonprofit institution, [2] or simply a nonprofit, [a] is a legal entity organized and operated for a collective, public or social benefit, as opposed to an entity that operates as a business aiming to generate a profit for its owners.
A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption. [1] An example is carbon-based fossil fuels.
A not-for-profit or non-for-profit organization (NFPO) is a legal entity that does not distribute surplus funds to its members and is formed to fulfill specific objectives. [1] An NFPO does not earn profit for its owners, as any revenue generated by its activities must be put back into the organization.
A non-governmental organization (NGO) is an independent, typically nonprofit organization that operates outside government control. NGOs often focus on humanitarian or social issues but can also include clubs and associations offering services to members.
For example, ultraviolet light, even in the non-ionizing range, can produce free radicals that induce cellular damage, and can be carcinogenic. Photochemistry such as pyrimidine dimer formation in DNA can happen through most of the UV band, including much of the band that is formally non-ionizing.
Some non-α-amino acids exist in organisms. In these structures, the amine group is displaced further from the carboxylic acid end of the amino acid molecule. Thus a β-amino acid has the amine group bonded to the second carbon away, and a γ-amino acid has it on the third. Examples include β-alanine, GABA, and δ-aminolevulinic acid.
