dependent contact
1Contact resistance — The term contact resistance refers to the contribution to the total resistance of a material which comes from the electrical leads and connections as opposed to the intrinsic resistance, which is an inherent property, independent of the… …

3Contact area — When two objects touch, a certain portion of their surface areas will be in contact with each other. Contact area is the fraction of this area that consists of the atoms of one object in contact with the atoms of the other object. Because objects …
4Contact process — For other uses, see Contact process (mathematics). The contact process is the current method of producing sulfuric acid in the high concentrations needed for industrial processes. Platinum was formerly employed as a catalyst for the reaction, but …
5contact corrosion — when two dissimiliar metals are in contact without a protective barrier between them and they are in the presence of liquid, an electrolytic cell is created. The degree of corrosion is dependent on the area in contact and the electro potential… …
6contact inhibition of division — See density dependent inhibition …
7Ohmic contact — An ohmic contact is a region on a semiconductor device that has been prepared so that the current voltage (I V) curve of the device is linear and symmetric. If the I V characteristic is non linear and asymmetric, the contact is not ohmic, but is… …
8density dependent inhibition of growth — The phenomenon exhibited by most normal (anchorage dependent) animal cells in culture that stop dividing once a critical cell density is reached. The critical density is considerably higher for most cells than the density at which a monolayer is… …
9AURÉOLES DE CONTACT — Zones concentriques de roches métamorphiques enveloppant un massif magmatique intrusif. Ce dernier, lors de sa mise en place à haute température et de son refroidissement, chauffe les roches encaissantes et détermine ainsi l’apparition d’un… …
10Hertzian contact stress — In mechanical engineering and tribology, Hertzian contact stress, is a description of the stress within mating parts. The term is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz whose name is also found in the SI unit Hertz. In general, this is usually… …
