Distinctive features ( Brodmann-1905 ): a wide, dense internal granular cell layer ( IV ); a distinct sublayer 3b of closely packed large pyramidal cells positioned in the external pyramidal layer ( III ) directly above layer IV ; an almost cell free, narrow internal pyramidal layer ( V ) with no larger ganglion cells ; a likewise very narrow, dense multiform layer ( VI ) composed of small polymorphic cells that form a distinct boundary with the underlying subcortical white matter.

The inner, granular mass is called the endoplasm and the outer, clear and glassy layer is called the cell cortex or the ectoplasm.

Once on the ground, snow can be categorized as powdery when light and fluffy, fresh when recent but heavier, granular when it begins the cycle of melting and refreezing, and eventually ice once it packs down, after multiple melting and refreezing cycles, into a dense mass called snow pack.

A scorpion has darkened or granular raised linear ridges, called " keels " or carinae on the pedipalp segments and on other parts of the body, which are useful taxonomically.

Following that came More Than Idle Chatter, the six compositions of which focus on processings of the human voice using linear predictive coding, granular synthesis, and plucked string synthesis ; its three highlights are granular synth pieces called " Idle Chatter ," " Just_more_idle_chatter ," and " Notjustmoreidlechatter ," which look at the same thing from multiple perspectives.

Wine corks can be made of either a single piece of cork, or composed of particles, as in champagne corks ; corks made of granular particles are called " technical corks ".

This form of distortion, sometimes called granular or quantization distortion, has been pointed to as a fault of some digital systems and recordings ( Knee & Hawksford 1995, Stuart n. d .: 6 ).

Upon drying, the reddish-brown paste inside the musk pod turns into a black granular material called " musk grain ", which is then tinctured with alcohol.

The peptide hormone renin is secreted by the kidney from specialized cells called granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus via 3 responses:

When durum is milled, the endosperm is ground into a granular product called semolina.

Brodmann area 6 is also called agranular frontal area 6 in humans because it lacks an internal granular cortical layer ( layer IV ).

On the inner surface of cranial bones, small pits called granular fovea are produced by arachnoid granulations.

The introduction of granular ( subset ) locks creates the possibility for a situation called deadlock.

The cells of these two layers, together called the Malpighian layer ( s ) after Marcello Malpighi, divide to form the superficial granular layer ( Stratum granulosum ) of the epidermis.

As mentioned above, granular computing is not an algorithm or process ; there is not a particular method that is called " granular computing ".

This PIV approach is called “ granular PIV .” The set-up for granular PIV differs from the usual PIV setup in that the optical surface structure which is produced by illumination of the surface of the granular flow is already sufficient to detect the motion.

Also called granular conjunctivitis and Egyptian ophthalmia, it is the leading cause of infectious blindness in the world.

Two main types of filter media are employed in the chemical laboratory — surface filter, a solid sieve which traps the solid particles, with or without the aid of filter paper ( e. g. Büchner funnel, Belt filter, Rotary vacuum-drum filter, Cross-flow filters, Screen filter ), and a depth filter, a bed of granular material which retains the solid particles as it passes ( e. g. sand filter ).

The surfactant is produced by great alveolar cells ( granular pneumonocytes, a cuboidal epithelia ), which are the most numerous cells in the alveoli, yet do not cover as much surface area as the squamous alveolar cells ( a squamous epithelium ).

The surface the soil can be broken down into a fine granular structure using a tool such as a rake.

The aboral or upper surface may be smooth, granular or spiny and is covered with overlapping plates.

In the classical definition of the shallow-water or granular flow Froude number, the potential energy associated with the surface elevation,, is not considered.

There are two types of filter media — a surface filter, a solid sieve which traps the solid particles, with or without the aid of filter paper ( e. g. Büchner funnel, Belt press, Rotary vacuum-drum filter, Crossflow filters ), and a depth filter, a bed of granular material which retains the solid particles as it passes ( e. g. sand filter ).

When bulk granular materials are poured onto a horizontal surface, a conical pile will form.

The DLPFC also encompasses part of granular frontal area 9, directly adjacent on the dorsal surface of the cortex.

Upper surface and throat covered with small granular scales, largest and flat on the back.

Three experiments remained on Atlantis: Extreme Temperature Translation Furnace ( ETTF ), a new furnace design allowing space-based processing up to 871 degrees Celsius ( 1, 600 degrees Fahrenheit ) and above ; Commercial Protein Crystal Growth ( CPCG ) complement of 128 individual samples involving 12 different proteins ; and Mechanics of Granular Materials, designed to further understanding of behavior of cohesionless granular materials, which could in turn lead to better understanding of how Earth ’ s surface responds during earthquakes and landslides.

Distinctive features: area 11 lacks an internal granular layer ( IV ); larger pyramidal cells of sublayer 3b of the external pyramidal layer ( III ) merge with a denser self-contained collection of cells in the internal pyramidal layer ( V ); similar to area 10 of Brodmann-1909 is the presence in the multiform layer ( VI ) of trains of cells oriented parallel to the cortical surface separated by acellular fiber bundles ; a thick molecular layer ( I ); a relatively narrow overall cortical thickness ; and a gradual transition from the multiform layer ( VI ) to the subcortical white matter.

* The formation of surface patterns in vibrated granular layers.

It is sometimes described as the Brazil nut effect when the largest particles end up on the surface of a granular material containing a mixture of variously sized objects ; this derives from the example of a typical container of mixed nuts, where the largest will be Brazil nuts.

( According to Heinrich Jaeger, " explanation for size separation might work in situations in which there is no granular convection, for example for containers with completely frictionless side walls or deep below the surface of tall containers ( where convection is strongly suppressed ).
