31Surface states — are electronic states found at the surface of materials and are part of condensed matter physics. They are formed due to the sharp transition from solid material that ends with a surface and are found only at the atom layers closest to the… …
32Surface supplied diving — (also known as Hooka diving) refers to divers using equipment supplied with breathing gas using an umbilical cord from the surface, often from a diving support vessel but possibly, indirectly via a diving chamber.cite journal |author=Gernhardt,… …
33Surface brightness — is a concept used in astronomy when describing extended astronomical objects such as galaxies and nebulae.General descriptionThe apparent magnitude of an astronomical object is generally given as an integrated value mdash;if a galaxy is quoted as …
34Surface finishing — is a broad range of industrial processes that alter the surface of a manufactured item to achieve a certain property.[1] Finishing processes may be employed to: improve appearance, adhesion or wettability, solderability, corrosion resistance,… …
35Surface layer — The surface layer is the layer of a turbulent fluid most affected by interaction with a solid surface or the surface separating a gas and a liquid. In surface layers the characteristics of the turbulence depend on distance from the interface.… …
36Surface layering — is a quasi crystalline structure at the surfaces of otherwise disordered liquids, where atoms or molecules of even the simplest liquid are stratified into well defined layers parallel to the surface. While in crystalline solids such atomic layers …
37Surface caching — is a computer graphics technique pioneered by John Carmack, first used in the computer game Quake . The traditional method of lighting a surface is to calculate the surface from the perspective of the viewer, and then apply the lighting to the… …
38The Dark Elf Trilogy — is a prequel to the Icewind Dale Trilogy by R. A. Salvatore. Drizzt Do Urden, a drow, or dark elf, was originally written as a supporting character in the Icewind Dale Trilogy to Wulfgar the barbarian. However, the author soon realized how… …
39The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Primary and Secondary Phases — The terms Primary Phase and Secondary Phase describe the first two radio series of The Hitchhiker s Guide to the Galaxy . [The spelling of Hitchhiker s Guide has varied in different editions. For consistency this article always spells it this way …
40Surface freezing — is the appearance of long range crystalline order in a near surface layer of a liquid. The surface freezing effect is opposite to a far more common surface melting, or premelting. Surface Freezing was experimentally discovered in melts of alkanes …
