The authors provide an in-universe theory about this " Jump shock ", stating that the instantaneous travel across interstellar space requires either no time, or ' transfinite time ', in either case, an experience that both humans and computers cannot cope with easily.

Without bump-stops, a vehicle that " bottoms out " will experience a very hard shock when the suspension contacts the bottom of the frame or body, which is transferred to the occupants and every connector and weld on the vehicle.

However, sentient beings who travel using an Alderson drive experience " jump shock ", a temporary period of extreme disorientation immediately following an Alderson jump.

For James, whose experience of parliaments was limited to the stage-managed and semi-feudal Scottish variety, the self-assurance — and obduracy — of the English version, which had long experience of upsetting monarchs, was an obvious shock.

Paracoccus denitrificans was one of the bacteria which displayed not only survival but also robust cellular growth under these conditions of hyperacceleration which are usually found only in cosmic environments, such as on very massive stars or in the shock waves of supernovas.

Tertiary explosives, also called blasting agents, are so insensitive to shock that they cannot be reliably detonated by practical quantities of primary explosive, and instead require an intermediate explosive booster of secondary explosive.

The lower CTE also makes them less subject to stress caused by thermal expansion, thus less vulnerable to cracking from thermal shock.

A shock site is a website that is intended to be offensive, disgusting and / or disturbing to its viewers, containing materials of high shock value which is also considered distasteful and crude, and is generally of a pornographic, scatological, extremely violent, insulting, painful, profane, or otherwise provocative nature.

Some shock sites have also gained their own subcultures and have become internet memes on their own.

A pressure vessel containing air cushions the hydraulic pressure shock when the waste valve closes, and it also improves the pumping efficiency by allowing a more constant flow through the delivery pipe.

Milgram also informally polled his colleagues and found that they, too, believed very few subjects would progress beyond a very strong shock.

Milgram also polled forty psychiatrists from a medical school and they believed that by the tenth shock, when the victim demands to be free, most subjects would stop the experiment.

It was also lowered 10 mm ( 0. 39 in ) at the front and 15 mm ( 0. 59 in ) at the rear, and fitted with stiffer springs and gas-filled shock absorbers all round.

When other treatments for psychosis are ineffective, electroconvulsive therapy or ECT ( also known as shock treatment ) is sometimes applied to relieve the underlying symptoms of psychosis due to depression.

Some prokaryotes, including many archaea and the bacterial order Actinomycetales also share homologs of the 20S proteasome, whereas most bacteria possess heat shock genes hslV and hslU, whose gene products are a multimeric protease arranged in a two-layered ring and an ATPase.

The shock of firing can also put a great deal of stress on the crane, as in most designs the cylinder is only held closed at one point, the rear of the cylinder.

This structure is also formed by shock during meteorite impacts.

It is also smoke free and has only a faint shock diamond pattern that is visible in the otherwise transparent exhaust.

This process may also create shock waves that travel inward through the target.

A rigid coupling may also be added between shafts to reduce shock and wear at the point where the shafts meet.

For critical applications the quartz oscillator is mounted in a temperature-controlled container, called a crystal oven, and can also be mounted on shock absorbers to prevent perturbation by external mechanical vibrations.
