  2. Fold and thrust belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_and_thrust_belt

    Modelling of a fold and thrust belt in a sand box A fold and thrust belt (FTB) is a series of mountainous foothills adjacent to an orogenic belt , which forms due to contractional tectonics . Fold and thrust belts commonly form in the forelands adjacent to major orogens as deformation propagates outwards.

  3. Osteoradionecrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteoradionecrosis

    Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) is a serious complication of radiation therapy in cancer treatment where radiated bone becomes necrotic and exposed. [1] ORN occurs most commonly in the mouth during the treatment of head and neck cancer, and can arise over 5 years after radiation. [2]

  5. Crystal healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_healing

    The Hopi Native Americans of Arizona use quartz crystals to assist in diagnosing illnesses. [14] Both Pliny the Elder and Galen claimed that certain crystals had medicinal properties. In Europe, the belief in the healing powers of crystals (and in particular crystal amulets) persisted into the Middle Ages .

  6. Spot welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spot_welding

    Typically the sheets are in the 0.5 to 3 mm (0.020 to 0.118 in) thickness range. Forcing a large current through the spot will melt the metal and form the weld. The attractive feature of spot welding is that a large amount of energy can be delivered to the spot in a very short time (approximately 10–100 milliseconds). [2]

  7. High-energy phosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-energy_phosphate

    Except for PP i → 2 P i, these reactions are, in general, not allowed to go uncontrolled in the human cell but are instead coupled to other processes needing energy to drive them to completion. Thus, high-energy phosphate reactions can: [ citation needed ]

  8. Permanent magnet synchronous generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_magnet...

    A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft-mounted permanent magnet mechanism, and current is induced into the stationary armature.

  9. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

    Typically the cooling water causes the steam to condense at a temperature of about 25 °C (77 °F) and that creates an absolute pressure in the condenser of about 2–7 kPa (0.59–2.07 inHg), i.e. a vacuum of about −95 kPa (−28 inHg) relative to atmospheric pressure. The large decrease in volume that occurs when water vapor condenses to ...
