Puddle
A puddle is a very small accumulation of liquid, usually water, on a surface. It can form either by pooling in a depression on the surface, or by surface tension upon a flat surface. Puddles are often characterized by murky water or mud due to the disturbance and dissolving of surrounding sediment, primarily due to precipitation. A puddle is generally shallow enough to walk through, and too small to traverse with a boat or raft. Small wildlife may be attracted to puddles. Natural puddles and wildlife Puddles in natural landscapes and habitats, when not resulting from precipitation, can indicate the presence of a seep or spring. Small seasonal riparian plants, grasses, and wildflowers can germinate with the ephemeral "head start" of moisture provided by a puddle. Small wildlife, such as birds and insects, can use puddles as a source of essential moisture or for bathing. Raised constructed puddles, bird baths, are a part of domestic and wildlife gardens as a garden ornament ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Puddle (video Game)
''Puddle'' is a puzzle-platform game developed by Neko Entertainment and published by Konami for PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360. The game was also self-published by Neko Entertainment for Wii U, and for the PC through Steam, GOG.com, and Desura. The game cost around £6.99 on steam and other platforms. Gameplay In the game, the player must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination by tilting the scene, not by moving the fluid itself, similar to Nintendo's WiiWare game '' Fluidity''. They must work with physics: friction, momentum, and the unique properties of each type of fluid and environment to send as much of each puddle past such obstacles as fires, rifts, spills and others, through environments like pipes, plants, laboratories, a human body, a sewer, a rocket, a foundry and a power station. The experience is physics based, making the fluid motion realistic. The game allows the players to be a liquid like Nitroglycerin, and they need to guid ...

Welding
Welding is a fabrication (metal), fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, primarily by using high temperature to melting, melt the parts together and allow them to cool, causing Fusion welding, fusion. Common alternative methods include solvent welding (of thermoplastics) using chemicals to melt materials being bonded without heat, and #Solid-state welding, solid-state welding processes which bond without melting, such as pressure, cold welding, and diffusion bonding. Metal welding is distinct from lower temperature bonding techniques such as brazing and soldering, which do not melt the base metal (parent metal) and instead require flowing a filler metal to solidify their bonds. In addition to melting the base metal in welding, a filler material is typically added to the joint to form a pool of molten material (the weld pool) that cools to form a joint that can be stronger than the base material. Welding also requires a form of shield to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Puddle Clay
Puddling is a traditional civil engineering technique used to create watertight barriers in canals, reservoirs, and earthworks by compacting clay to prevent water leakage. The process involves kneading, mixing, and compacting clay—often with water—to form an impermeable layer known as puddle clay. This method has historically been essential in the construction of canals, dams, and embankments, particularly before the development of modern waterproofing materials."puddle, n. 4" also called puddling. ''Oxford English Dictionary''. 2nd. ed. 2009. Puddling was widely used during the 18th and 19th centuries, notably in the construction of Britain’s canal network, where engineers such as James Brindley and Thomas Telford employed it to line waterways and prevent seepage. Although largely replaced by modern materials like concrete and synthetic liners, puddling remains relevant in the restoration of historic structures and some environmentally sensitive projects where natural mat ...

Puddling (agriculture)
Puddling is the tillage of rice paddies while flooded, an ancient practice that is used to prepare for rice cultivation. Historically, this has been accomplished by dragging a weighted harrow across a flooded paddy field behind a buffalo or ox, and is now accomplished using mechanized approaches, often using a two-wheel tractor. Puddling reduces the percolation rates of water by churning the clay particles and making them close many of the soil pores. Puddling also has the consequences of converting soils into "...a structurally more or less homogeneous mass of ultimate particles.” Buehrer, T.F., and Rose, M.S., 1943. Studies in soil structure. V. Bound water in normal and puddled soils, Ariz. Agric. Exp. Sta. Tech. Bull, No. 100, pp. 155–218. Combined with good agricultural practices puddling has proven to be sustainable for many rice-rice systems. Yet the loss of aggregates in systems other than rice-rice (rice-maize, rice-wheat, etc.) proves to be much less sustainab ...

Puddling (biology)
Puddling is a behaviour in which an organism seeks out nutrients in certain moist substances such as rotting plant matter, mud, and carrion, and sucks up the fluid. Where the conditions are suitable, conspicuous insects such as butterflies commonly form aggregations on wet soil, dung, or carrion.
