Acoustics

Acoustics is a branch of physics that deals with the study of mechanical waves in gases, liquids, and solids including topics such as vibration, sound, ultrasound and infrasound.

See Tortuosity and Acoustics

Analytical chemistry

Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods to separate, identify, and quantify matter.

See Tortuosity and Analytical chemistry

Approximation

An approximation is anything that is intentionally similar but not exactly equal to something else.

See Tortuosity and Approximation

Arc length

Arc length is the distance between two points along a section of a curve. Tortuosity and Arc length are curves.

See Tortuosity and Arc length

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

See Tortuosity and Blood vessel

Brain

The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.

See Tortuosity and Brain

Brownian motion

Brownian motion is the random motion of particles suspended in a medium (a liquid or a gas).

See Tortuosity and Brownian motion

Chromatography

In chemical analysis, chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture into its components.

See Tortuosity and Chromatography

Condenser (heat transfer)

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a heat exchanger used to condense a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling.

See Tortuosity and Condenser (heat transfer)

Constrictivity

Constrictivity is a dimensionless parameter used to describe transport processes (often molecular diffusion) in porous media. Tortuosity and Constrictivity are porous media.

See Tortuosity and Constrictivity

Cubic Hermite spline

In numerical analysis, a cubic Hermite spline or cubic Hermite interpolator is a spline where each piece is a third-degree polynomial specified in Hermite form, that is, by its values and first derivatives at the end points of the corresponding domain interval.

See Tortuosity and Cubic Hermite spline

Curvature

In mathematics, curvature is any of several strongly related concepts in geometry that intuitively measure the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line or by which a surface deviates from being a plane. Tortuosity and curvature are Multivariable calculus.

See Tortuosity and Curvature

Derivative

The derivative is a fundamental tool of calculus that quantifies the sensitivity of change of a function's output with respect to its input.

See Tortuosity and Derivative

Digital filter

In signal processing, a digital filter is a system that performs mathematical operations on a sampled, discrete-time signal to reduce or enhance certain aspects of that signal.

See Tortuosity and Digital filter

Ecology

Ecology is the natural science of the relationships among living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment.

See Tortuosity and Ecology

Ethyl cellulose

Ethyl cellulose (or ethylcellulose) is a derivative of cellulose in which some of the hydroxyl groups on the repeating glucose units are converted into ethyl ether groups.

See Tortuosity and Ethyl cellulose

Evaporator

An evaporator is a type of heat exchanger device that facilitates evaporation by utilizing conductive and convective heat transfer, which provides the necessary thermal energy for phase transition from liquid to vapour.

See Tortuosity and Evaporator

Fractal dimension

In mathematics, a fractal dimension is a term invoked in the science of geometry to provide a rational statistical index of complexity detail in a pattern.

See Tortuosity and Fractal dimension

Fuel cell

A fuel cell is an electrochemical cell that converts the chemical energy of a fuel (often hydrogen) and an oxidizing agent (often oxygen) into electricity through a pair of redox reactions.

See Tortuosity and Fuel cell

Functional (mathematics)

In mathematics, a functional is a certain type of function.

See Tortuosity and Functional (mathematics)

Gel permeation chromatography

Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is a type of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), that separates high molecular weight or colloidal analytes on the basis of size or diameter, typically in organic solvents.

See Tortuosity and Gel permeation chromatography

Heat exchanger

A heat exchanger is a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid.

See Tortuosity and Heat exchanger

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) is the use of various technologies to control the temperature, humidity, and purity of the air in an enclosed space.

See Tortuosity and Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

Heterogeneous catalysis

Heterogeneous catalysis is catalysis where the phase of catalysts differs from that of the reagents or products.

See Tortuosity and Heterogeneous catalysis

Hydrogeology

Hydrogeology (hydro- meaning water, and -geology meaning the study of the Earth) is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth's crust (commonly in aquifers).

See Tortuosity and Hydrogeology

Hysteresis

Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history.

See Tortuosity and Hysteresis

Inflection point

In differential calculus and differential geometry, an inflection point, point of inflection, flex, or inflection (rarely inflexion) is a point on a smooth plane curve at which the curvature changes sign. Tortuosity and inflection point are curves and differential geometry.

See Tortuosity and Inflection point

Integral

In mathematics, an integral is the continuous analog of a sum, which is used to calculate areas, volumes, and their generalizations.

See Tortuosity and Integral

Logarithm

In mathematics, the logarithm is the inverse function to exponentiation.

See Tortuosity and Logarithm

Maurice Anthony Biot

Maurice Anthony Biot (May 25, 1905 – September 12, 1985) was a Belgian-American applied physicist.

See Tortuosity and Maurice Anthony Biot

Mixture

A mixture is a material made up of two or more different chemical substances which can be separated by physical method.

See Tortuosity and Mixture

Molecule

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by attractive forces known as chemical bonds; depending on context, the term may or may not include ions which satisfy this criterion.

See Tortuosity and Molecule

Pharmacy

Pharmacy is the science and practice of discovering, producing, preparing, dispensing, reviewing and monitoring medications, aiming to ensure the safe, effective, and affordable use of medicines.

See Tortuosity and Pharmacy

Polymer

A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules linked together into chains of repeating subunits.

See Tortuosity and Polymer

Porous medium

In materials science, a porous medium or a porous material is a material containing pores (voids). Tortuosity and porous medium are porous media.

Retina

The retina (or retinas) is the innermost, light-sensitive layer of tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.

Signs and symptoms

Signs and symptoms are the observed or detectable signs, and experienced symptoms of an illness, injury, or condition.

See Tortuosity and Signs and symptoms

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.

See Tortuosity and Sound

Space-filling curve

In mathematical analysis, a space-filling curve is a curve whose range reaches every point in a higher dimensional region, typically the unit square (or more generally an n-dimensional unit hypercube).
