  2. Roundness (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundness_(Geology)

    F=f(Sh, A, R, Sp, T) where f denotes a functional relationship between these terms and where Sh denotes the shape, Sp the sphericity and T the micro-scale surface texture. [ 2 ] An example of this practical use has been applied to the roundness of the grains in the Gulf of Mexico in order to observe the distance from the source rocks.

  3. List of particles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_particles

    Elementary particles are particles with no measurable internal structure; that is, it is unknown whether they are composed of other particles. [1] They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Many families and sub-families of elementary particles exist. Elementary particles are classified according to their spin.

  4. Texture (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(geology)

    In geology, texture or rock microstructure [1] refers to the relationship between the materials of which a rock is composed. [2] The broadest textural classes are crystalline (in which the components are intergrown and interlocking crystals), fragmental (in which there is an accumulation of fragments by some physical process), aphanitic (in which crystals are not visible to the unaided eye ...

  5. Porosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porosity

    Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e. "empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume of voids over the total volume, between 0 and 1, or as a percentage between 0% and 100%.

  6. Soil horizon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_horizon

    The A horizon may also be the result of a combination of soil bioturbation and surface processes that winnow fine particles from biologically mounded topsoil. In this case, the A horizon is regarded as a "biomantle". B) Subsoil: This layer normally has less organic matter than the A horizon, so its colour is mainly derived from iron oxides ...

  7. Matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter

    Quarks are massive particles of spin-1 ⁄ 2, implying that they are fermions. They carry an electric charge of − 1 ⁄ 3 e (down-type quarks) or + 2 ⁄ 3 e (up-type quarks). For comparison, an electron has a charge of −1 e. They also carry colour charge, which is the equivalent of the electric charge for the strong interaction.

  8. Imaging particle analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaging_Particle_Analysis

    The basic process by which imaging particle analysis is carried out is as follows: A digital camera captures an image of the field of view in the optical system.; A gray scale thresholding process is used to perform image segmentation, segregating out the particles from the background, creating a binary image of each particle.

  9. Metamaterial cloaking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamaterial_cloaking

    A sphere with radius R 1 is chosen as the object to be hidden. The cloaking region is to be contained within the annulus R 1 < r < R 2. A simple transformation that achieves the desired result can be found by taking all fields in the region r < R 2 and compressing them into the region R 1 < r < R 2. The coordinate transformations do not alter ...
