Fold (geology)
In structural geology, a fold is a stack of originally planar surfaces, such as sedimentary rock, sedimentary stratum, strata, that are bent or curved (''"folded"'') during permanent deformation (engineering), deformation. Folds in rocks vary in size from microscopic crinkles to mountain-sized folds. They occur as single isolated folds or in periodic sets (known as ''fold trains''). wikt:synsedimentary, Synsedimentary folds are those formed during sedimentary deposition. Folds form under varied conditions of stress (physics), stress, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sedimentary rock, sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks. A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogeny, orogenic zones. Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar f ...

Pen (enclosure)
A pen is a fenced/ walled open-air enclosure for holding land animals in captivity, typically for livestock but may also be used for holding other domesticated animals such as pets that are unwanted inside buildings. The term describes types of enclosures that may confine one or many animals. Construction and terminology vary depending on the region of the world, purpose, animal species to be confined, local materials used and tradition. ''Pen'' or ''penning'' as a verb refers to the act of confining animals in an enclosure. Similar terms are kraal, boma, and corrals. Encyclopædia Britannica notes usage of the term "kraal" for elephant corrals in India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Australia and New Zealand In Australia and New Zealand a ''pen'' is a small enclosure for livestock (especially sheep or cattle), which is part of a larger construction, e.g. ''calf pen'', ''forcing pen'' (or yard) in sheep or cattle yards, or a ''sweating pen'' or ''catching pen'' in a sheari ...

Folding Clothes
Clothing (also known as clothes, garments, dress, apparel, or attire) is any item worn on a human body. Typically, clothing is made of fabrics or textiles, but over time it has included garments made from animal skin and other thin sheets of materials and natural products found in the environment, put together. The wearing of clothing is mostly restricted to human beings and is a feature of all human societies. The amount and type of clothing worn depends on gender, body type, social factors, and geographic considerations. Garments cover the body, footwear covers the feet, gloves cover the hands, while hats and headgear cover the head, and underwear covers the intimate parts. Clothing serves many purposes: it can serve as protection from the elements, rough surfaces, sharp stones, rash-causing plants, and insect bites, by providing a barrier between the skin and the environment. Clothing can insulate against cold or hot conditions, and it can provide a hygienic barrier, keeping i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Folding Bridge
A folding bridge is a type of moveable bridge engineered to fold. This allows ship traffic to pass through the waterway that the bridge spans. An example of a folding bridge is the Hörnbrücke ( Hörn Bridge) in the city of Kiel in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. When the bridge is down it spans across the Kiel Fjord, known as the Hörn. The three-segment bascule bridge folds up into the shape of the capital letter ''N'' to allow for ship and boat traffic. See also * Bascule bridge * Double-beam drawbridge * Drawbridge * Moveable bridges A moveable bridge, or movable bridge, is a bridge that moves to allow passage for boats or barges. In American English, the term is synonymous with , and the latter is the common term, but drawbridge can be limited to the narrower, historical ... for a list of other moveable bridge types References Moveable bridges Bridges by structural type {{Bridge-type-stub ...

Folding Bicycle
A folding bicycle is designed to be compacted into a smaller, more manageable size or shape, making it easier to store or carry . When folded, the bikes can be more easily carried into buildings, on public transportation (facilitating mixed-mode commuting and bicycle commuting), and more easily stored in compact living quarters or aboard a car, boat or plane. Foldable bikes are also often used as a travel bicycle (not to be confused touring bicycle) as an alternative to take-apart bikes. Some folding bicycles are also electrically empowered. A folding bicycle or electric-assisted folding bicycle is legally defined as a bicycle (or Electric bicycle, electric bicycle, e-bikes, respectively) inall nations, having to comply with all relevant Electric bicycle laws, safety standards to be road worthy. Folding mechanisms vary, with each offering a distinct combination of folding speed, folding ease, compactness, ride, weight, durability, complexity and price. Distinguished by the com ...

Foldable Smartphone
A foldable smartphone (also known as a foldable phone or simply foldable) is a smartphone with a folding Form factor (mobile phones), form factor. While the foldable design has been incorporated before in clamshell design, clamshell (or "flip phone") phones, the current term "foldable" refer to a newer style with flexible display, flexible displays, although some variants of the concept use Dual-touchscreen, multiple touchscreen panels on a hinge. Concepts of such devices date back as early as Nokia's "Morph" concept in 2008, and a concept presented by Samsung Electronics in 2013 (as part of a larger set of concepts utilizing flexible OLED displays), while the first commercially available folding smartphones with OLED displays began to emerge in November 2018. Some devices may fold out on a vertical axis to into a wider, tablet computer, tablet-like form, but are still usable in a smaller, folded state; the display may either wrap around to the back of the device when folded (as w ...

Book Folding
Book folding is the stage of the book production process in which the pages of the book are folded after printing and before binding. The folding process is also necessary to produce print products other than books—for instance mailings, magazines, leaflets etc. History Until the middle of the 19th century, book folding was done by hand, and was a trade. In the 1880s and 1890s, book folding machines by Brown and Dexter came onto the market, and by the 1910s hand-folding was rare, with one publisher declaring them to be "practically obsolete" in 1914. Folding machines Two main types of mechanisms are commonly employed in folding machines: ''buckle folders'' and ''knife folders''. Buckle folder In a buckle folder, the paper is first passed through 2 spinning rollers, which feed the paper into a pair of guide plates that redirect the paper at a slight angle, bending the paper. At the far end of the guide plates is a "paper stop". As the rollers continue to spin, the paper contin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Polygon Folding
In geometry, a net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of non-overlapping edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the faces of the polyhedron. Polyhedral nets are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for physical models of polyhedra to be constructed from material such as thin cardboard. An early instance of polyhedral nets appears in the works of Albrecht Dürer, whose 1525 book ''A Course in the Art of Measurement with Compass and Ruler'' (''Unterweysung der Messung mit dem Zyrkel und Rychtscheyd '') included nets for the Platonic solids and several of the Archimedean solids. These constructions were first called nets in 1543 by Augustin Hirschvogel. Existence and uniqueness Many different nets can exist for a given polyhedron, depending on the choices of which edges are joined and which are separated. The edges that are cut from a convex polyhedron to form a net must form a spanning tree of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
E-folding
In science, ''e''-folding is the time interval in which an exponentially growing quantity increases or decreases by a factor of ''e''; it is the base-''e'' analog of doubling time. This term is often used in many areas of science, such as in atmospheric chemistry, medicine, theoretical physics, and cosmology. In cosmology the ''e''-folding time scale is the proper time in which the length of a patch of space or spacetime increases by the factor ''e''. In finance, the logarithmic return or continuously compounded return, also known as force of interest, is the reciprocal of the ''e''-folding time. The process of evolving to equilibrium is often characterized by a time scale called the ''e''-folding time, ''τ''. This time is used for processes which evolve exponentially toward a final state (equilibrium). In other words, if we examine an observable, ''X'', associated with a system, (temperature or density, for example) then after a time, ''τ'', the initial difference bet ...
