* Smearing and ghosting artifacts on moving objects caused by slow response times (> 8 ms ).

; Smearing: when a climber places the foot directly on the wall or rock without using any footholds

Smearing of the distribution increases with temperature. The energy distribution of the electrons determines which of the states are filled and which are empty.

Common methods used to stop shaving-induced bleeding include: ( 1 ) pressing any simple alcohol onto the cut until the bleeding stops ( e. g. with a cotton swab ); ( 2 ) placing a small piece of tissue or toilet paper onto the cut ; ( 3 ) applying styptic pencils and styptic liquids ; 4 ) placing a small amount of petroleum jelly on the cut after most of the bleeding has ended ( which can stop the bleeding without forming a scab ), or 5 ) applying a small amount of aluminum chlorohydrate ( commonly found in roll-on deodorants such as Ban ).

The raw material for petroleum jelly was discovered in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, United States, on some of the country's first oil rigs.

Chesebrough patented the process of making petroleum jelly by in 1872.

It is flammable only when heated to liquid, then the fumes will light, not the liquid itself, so a wick material like leaves, bark, or small twigs is needed to light petroleum jelly.

There is a common misconception that petroleum jelly and glycerol ( glycerine ) are physically similar, because they feel similar when applied to human skin.

While petroleum jelly is a non-polar hydrocarbon hydrophobic ( water-repelling ) and insoluble in water, glycerol ( not a hydrocarbon but an alcohol ) is the opposite: it is so strongly hydrophilic ( water-attracting ) that by continuous absorption of moisture from the air, it produces the feeling of wetness on the skin, similar to the greasiness produced by petroleum jelly.

Depending on the specific application of petroleum jelly, it may be USP, B. P., or Ph.

This pertains to the processing and handling of the petroleum jelly so it is suitable for medicinal and personal care applications.

Vaseline brand First Aid Petroleum Jelly, or carbolated petroleum jelly, containing phenol to give the jelly additional anti-bacterial effect, has been discontinued.
