For the study of the mechanical behavior of solids and fluids these are assumed to be continuous bodies, which means that the matter fills the entire region of space it occupies, despite the fact that matter is made of atoms, has voids, and is discrete.

Microfluidics deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically sub-millimeter, scale.

The behavior of fluids at the microscale can differ from ' macrofluidic ' behavior in that factors such as surface tension, energy dissipation, and fluidic resistance start to dominate the system.

Empty Petri dishes may be used to observe plant germination or small animal behavior, or for other day-to-day laboratory practices such as drying fluids in an oven and carrying and storing samples.

This job would be simple if air and gasoline ( petrol ) were ideal fluids ; in practice, however, their deviations from ideal behavior due to viscosity, fluid drag, inertia, etc.

Real fluids at low density and high temperature approximate the behavior of a classical ideal gas.

It is an important part of the behavior of charge-carrying fluids, such as ionized gases ( classical plasmas ) and conduction electrons in semiconductors and metals.

The equation is based on a modification of the ideal gas law and approximates the behavior of real fluids, taking into account the nonzero size of molecules and the attraction between them.

However, before the recent observation of supersolid-like behavior in solid helium-4, superfluidity was considered to only be a property of the fluid state, e. g. superconducting electron and neutron fluids, gases with Bose-Einstein condensates, or unconventional liquids such as helium-4 or helium-3 at sufficiently low temperature.

These experiments included studying body posture, the spacecraft environment, crystal growth, metal alloys, wastewater recycling and the behavior of fluids.

A few examples of the fundamental principles of hydraulic engineering include fluid mechanics, fluid flow, behavior of real fluids, hydrology, pipelines, open channel hydraulics, mechanics of sediment transport, physical modeling, hydraulic machines, and drainage hydraulics.

Furthermore, the behavior of MR fluids when in the " off " state is also non-Newtonian and temperature dependent, however it deviates little enough for the fluid to be ultimately considered as a Bingham plastic for a simple analysis.

Descartes also elaborated on a theory in which the pneumatics of bodily fluids could explain reflexes and other motor behavior.

A sampling includes: medicine ( humoral immunity, sleep monitoring, radiation dosimetry ), physiology ( spatial orientation / performance changes during long duration flight ), epidemiology ( microbial surface sampling ), metallurgy ( determination of metal diffusion coefficients ), oceanography / geology / limnology / physical science ( photographic survey ( over 10, 000 photos ) of the planet ), space science ( flame propagation ), microgravity science ( behavior of fluids, critical angle determination ).

Comparison of the behavior of four types of fluids with shear rate as a function of applied shear stress

Non-newtonian fluids are fluids with that deviate from newtonian behavior.

At this point he decided to move away from plate tectonics, choosing instead to focus on the behavior of fluids below the plates.

Current sheets feature in magnetohydrodynamics ( MHD ), the study of the behavior of electrically conductive fluids: if there is an electric current through part of the volume of such a fluid, magnetic forces tend to expel it from the fluid, compressing the current into thin layers that pass through the volume.

We have staved off a war and, since our behavior has involved all these elements, we can only keep adding to our ritual without daring to abandon any part of it, since we have not the slightest notion which parts are effective.

Similarly experience itself can be conventionalized so that people react to certain preconceived clues for behavior without awareness of the vitality of their experiential field.

Something of the behavior of clouds of small particles can be illustrated by the following field trials:

'' The external pattern or external system can be considered as `` group behavior that enables the group to survive in its environment.

Observers can see a person engaged in spontaneous behavior, and watch him operating in a totalistic fashion.

This behavior is more `` veridical '' -- or true -- than other testing behavior for some types of evaluation, and so can give quick and accurate estimates of complex functioning.

and only when I can acknowledge this, to myself, as being indeed an aspect of my personality, does it cease to be a prominently troublesome aspect of the patient's behavior.

Although no national norms exist for the social development of children, the teacher can find a great deal of information concerning types of social behavior normally displayed by children at various age levels.

There can be no doubt, the Boston of that era could be exquisitely cruel in enforcing its canons of behavior.

Drinking at inappropriate times, and behavior caused by reduced judgment, can lead to legal consequences, such as criminal charges for drunk driving or public disorder, or civil penalties for tortious behavior, and may lead to a criminal sentence.

An alcoholic's behavior and mental impairment, while drunk, can profoundly affect those surrounding them and lead to isolation from family and friends.

Living in an autonomous shelter can require one to make sacrifices in one's lifestyle choices, personal behavior, and social expectations.

Some basic types of responsiveness such as reflexes can be mediated by the spinal cord or peripheral ganglia, but sophisticated purposeful control of behavior based on complex sensory input requires the information-integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.

Behaviors can be either innate or learned, however, current research in the Human Microbiome Project points towards a possibility that human behavior may be influenced by the composition of the microbe population within a human body.

Human behavior ( and that of other organisms and mechanisms ) can be common, unusual, acceptable, or unacceptable.

In sociology, behavior is considered as having no meaning, being not directed at other people and thus is the most basic human action, although it can play a part in diagnosis of disorders such as the autism spectrum disorders.

Behaviorism insisted on working only with what can be seen or manipulated and in the early views of John B. Watson, a founder of the field, nothing was inferred as to the nature of the entity that produced the behavior.

Behavior modification through counselling can have positive influence to help reduce the effects of risky behavior during the manic phase.

Animal communication can be defined as any behavior of one animal that affects the current or future behavior of another animal.

In particular, their band gap can vary from zero to about 2 eV and their electrical conductivity can show metallic or semiconducting behavior.

For example, the same techniques used to model ideal gases can be applied to model the behavior of a hard sphere colloidal suspension.

Meanwhile, the experts speak of wars triggered by `` false pre-emption '', `` escalation '', `` unauthorized behavior '' and other terms that will be discussed in this report.

Often it is recognized that all the details of the pattern may not be essential to the outcome but, because the pattern was empirically determined and not developed through theoretical understanding, one is never quite certain which behavior elements are effective, and the whole pattern becomes ritualized.

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

There are in The Almagest no rules for determining in advance whether a new epicycle will be required for dealing with abberations in lunar, solar, or planetary behavior.

At certain critical stages, and only for sound diagnostic reasons, it may be important to accompany family members in their use of these resources if their problem-solving behavior is to be constructive rather than defeating.

In such a setting social contacts and associations are likely to be heterogamous, resulting in a change of values and, almost necessarily, in mate selection behavior.

They were not free to be themselves in this situation, an interpersonal one, where there was an observer of their reactions and they had no guide for acceptable behavior.

While other conditions might be even more effective in bringing about a change from immobility to mobility in Kohnstamm reactivity, it is our hypothesis that all such conditions would have as a common factor the capacity to induce an attitude in the subject which enabled him to divorce himself temporarily from feelings of responsibility for his behavior.

From this presumption it is an easy step to the conclusion that any observed increases in the basic wage rate must be due to union behavior different and more aggressive than assumed in our model.

However, the teacher who understands the influence of emotions on behavior may be highly influential in helping pupils gain confidence, security, and satisfaction.

But in any event, full credit should be given to the Cost Section for its express and overt recognition of a vital distinction too often ignored in utility-cost analyses: namely, that between a cost allocation designed to reflect the actual behavior of costs in response to changes in rates of output of different classes of utility service ; ;

and allowed little initiative in early play and work patterns -- then in adolescence her normal degree of vanity, sensitivity, and preoccupation with whether others find her appearance and behavior acceptable, will be compounded.

On the other hand, some unwed mothers had had so much work and responsibility imposed on them at an early age, and had thus had so little freedom or opportunity to develop autonomy and initiative, that their work and responsibilities became dull and unrewarding burdens -- to be escaped and rebelled against through fun and experimentation with forbidden sexual behavior.

Blanche knew something must be causing Stanley's new, strange behavior but she never once connected it with Kitti Walker.

But as the One who called you is holy, be you also holy in all your behavior ; ;

One is that people will be more helping when they know that their helping behavior will be communicated to people they will interact with later, is publicly announced, is discussed, or is simply being observed by someone else.
