  2. Fish processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_processing

    A medieval view of fish processing, by Peter Brueghel the Elder (1556). There is evidence humans have been processing fish since the early Holocene. For example, fishbones (c. 8140–7550 BP, uncalibrated) at Atlit-Yam, a submerged Neolithic site off Israel, have been analysed. What emerged was a picture of "a pile of fish gutted and processed ...

  3. Straight-eight engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-eight_engine

    Straight-eight engine with firing order 1-4-7-3-8-5-2-6. The straight-eight engine or inline-eight engine (often abbreviated as I8) is an eight-cylinder internal combustion engine with all eight cylinders mounted in a straight line along the crankcase. The type has been produced in side-valve, IOE, overhead-valve, sleeve-valve, and overhead-cam ...

  4. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_in_situ...

    A metaphase cell positive for the bcr/abl rearrangement (associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia) using FISH. The chromosomes can be seen in blue. The chromosome that is labeled with green and red spots (upper left) is the one where the rearrangement is present. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique ...

  5. Firing order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_order

    In a V engine the frontmost cylinder is usually #1, however there are two common approaches: Numbering the cylinders in each bank sequentially (e.g. 1-2-3-4 along the left bank and 5-6-7-8 along the right bank). This approach is typically used by V8 engines from Audi, Ford and Porsche. [2] Numbering the cylinders based on their position along ...

  6. Eulachon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulachon

    [4] [5] [better source needed] This is the name most often used by early explorers. The name eulachon (occasionally seen as oolichan, ooligan, oulachon, and uthlecan) is from the Chinookan language and the Chinook Jargon based on that language. One of several theories for the origin of the name of the state of Oregon is that it was a corruption ...

  7. Fishing trawler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing_trawler

    Any fish processing usually occurs in deck houses or below deck. A wet fish stern trawler stores the fish in ice or sea water which has been refrigerated. A freezer stern trawler stores the fish in frozen boxes or blocks, and a factory stern trawler processes the catch. A pelagic stern trawler may use fish pumps to empty the codend. [25]

  8. Camless piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camless_piston_engine

    Camless piston engine. A camless or free-valve piston engine is an engine that has poppet valves operated by means of electromagnetic, hydraulic, or pneumatic [1] actuators instead of conventional cams. Actuators can be used to both open and close valves, or to open valves closed by springs or other means. Camshafts normally have one lobe per ...

  9. Cylinder (engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_(engine)

    The cylinder is the space through which the piston travels, propelled by the energy generated from the combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. [2] In an air-cooled engine, the walls of the cylinders are exposed to the airflow, to provide the primary method of cooling to the engine. Most air-cooled engines have cooling fins ...
