  2. X-ray crystal truncation rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray_crystal_truncation_rod

    X-ray crystal truncation rod scattering is a powerful method in surface science, based on analysis of surface X-ray diffraction (SXRD) patterns from a crystalline surface. For an infinite crystal , the diffracted pattern is concentrated in Dirac delta function like Bragg peaks .

  3. Experience point - Wikipedia

    A character in the roleplaying video game Legend of Grimrock who has 23373 experience points: they need 71006 points to reach the next level. An experience point (often abbreviated as exp or XP) is a unit of measurement used in some tabletop role-playing games (RPGs) and role-playing video games to quantify a player character's life experience and progression through the game.

  4. Rotarod performance test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotarod_performance_test

    Rodents naturally try to stay on the rotating cylinder, or rotarod, and avoid falling to the ground. The length of time that a given animal stays on this rotating rod is a measure of their balance, coordination, physical condition, and motor-planning. The speed of the rotarod is mechanically driven, and may either be held constant, or accelerated.

  5. Spent fuel pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spent_fuel_pool

    A reactor's local pool is specially designed for the reactor in which the fuel was used and is situated at the reactor site. Such pools are used for short-term cooling of the fuel rods. This allows short-lived isotopes to decay and thus reduces the ionizing radiation and decay heat emanating from the rods.

  7. Creep (deformation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creep_(deformation)

    When subjected to a step constant stress, viscoelastic materials experience a time-dependent increase in strain. This phenomenon is known as viscoelastic creep. At a time t 0, a viscoelastic material is loaded with a constant stress that is maintained for a sufficiently long time period. The material responds to the stress with a strain that ...
