11metamorphic rock — Any of a class of rocks that result from the alteration of preexisting rocks in response to changing geological conditions, including variations in temperature, pressure, and mechanical stress. The preexisting rocks may be igneous, sedimentary,… …
12Nuclear magnetic resonance in porous media — Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in porous media covers the application of using NMR as a tool to study the structure of porous media and various processes occurring in them.[1] This technique allows the determination of characteristics such as… …
13Porous silicon — (pSi) is a form of the chemical element silicon which has an introduced nanoporous holes in its microstructure, rendering a large surface to volume ratio in the order of 500m2/cm3. History Porous silicon was first discovered by accident in 1956… …
14Sintering — is a method used to create objects from powders. It is based on atomic diffusion. Diffusion occurs in any material above absolute zero but it occurs much faster at higher temperatures. In most sintering processes the powdered material is held in… …
15Hydrogeology — ( hydro meaning water, and geology meaning the study of the Earth) is the area of geology that deals with the distribution and movement of groundwater in the soil and rocks of the Earth s crust, (commonly in aquifers). The term geohydrology is… …

17Electric Line — The term wireline usually refers to a cabling technology used by operators of oil and gas wells to lower equipment or measurement devices into the well for the purposes of well intervention and reservoir evaluation. Braided line can contain an… …
18Water content — Soil composition by phase: s soil (dry), v void (pores filled with water or air), w water, a air. V is volume, M is mass. Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture),… …
19Characterisation of pore space in soil — Soil is essential to most animals on the earth. It is a relatively thin crust where an even smaller portion contains much of the biological activity. Soil consists of three different phases. A solid phase (≈ 20%) that contains mainly minerals of… …
20Reconfigurable Manufacturing System — A reconfigurable manufacturing system (RMS) is one designed at the outset for rapid change in its structure, as well as its hardware and software components, in order to quickly adjust its production capacity and functionality within a part… …
