  ➕ Food, Plate, Dish, Meal, And Course food = things that you eat plate = a round flat object that you put food on when you eat it dish = 1 . a flat container for serving food; 2 . food prepared in a particular way, e.g. the dish of the day, a vegetarian dish meal = an occasion when people eat food, e.g. breakfast, lunch, dinner course = one part of a meal, e.g. the main course, a four-course meal See also Utensils (video)

  exoskeleton = a hard outer layer that covers, supports, and protects the body of an organism (e.g. invertebrate animal, bacterium) E. coli = Escherichia coli = a bacteria that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms cryo-electron tomography = cryoET = an imaging technique used to reconstruct high-resolution (~1–4 nm) three-dimensional volumes of samples, often (but not limited to) biological macromolecules and cells

 

This is your captain speaking. As we climb to 18,000 feet we will rise through some thick clouds. You may experience some turbulence until the clouds are below us. When we are above the clouds, we will continue to increase our altitude to 25,000 feet. At that point we can speed up to our cruising speed. We'll cruise to our destination of Santiago, Chile, in about three hours. We'll descend around 4:00. But if we encounter any more bad weather, we'll have to slow down . Decreasing speed should result in a smoother ride. Enjoy your flight and thank you for flying Andean Airlines. slow down = to lower speed descend = to lower altitude cruise = to maintain a constant speed climb = to raise altitude increase/decrease = to raise/make less the amount of something

There are three axes of rotation in aircraft. The lateral axis (or pitch axis) extends from wingtip to wingtip . The longitudinal axis (or roll axis) runs from the aircraft's nose to its tail. The vertical axis (or yaw axis) runs perpendicular to the wings. Accordingly, pitch is rotation along the lateral axis. Roll or bank is rotation along the longitudinal axis. Yaw is rotation along the vertical axis. These different types of rotation are called torques . When you maneuver an aircraft, you rotate on one of the axes. maneuver = to cause an aircraft to rotate or move yaw = rotation along the vertical axis of an aircraft torque = twisting force that causes rotation pitch = rotation along the longitudinal axis of an aircraft wingtip = the lengthwise end of an aircraft's wing roll = rotation along the lateral axis of an aircraft

 

  Radioactive elements that are abundant in nature (elements 89 to 92) or made artificially (elements 93 to 103). Most of them have no industrial applications. thermonuclear explosion = a massive release of energy caused by nuclear fusion , where light atomic nuclei combine at extreme temperatures, typically triggered by an initial nuclear fission (=a physical reaction where the center (nucleus) of a heavy atom splits into smaller parts, releasing a massive amount of heat, radiation, and extra neutrons) spacecraft propulsion = any method used to accelerate or change direction of a spacecraft or artificial satellites in outer space photoelectric cell = an electronic device that changes light into an electric signal or current thermoelectric generator = a solid-state device that converts temperature differences directly into electrical energy Chemical Elements | Part 1   Chemical Elements | Part 2    Chemical Elements | Part 3    Chemical Elements | Part 4 C...

  chamfer = a type of cut or edging on a length of material mill mark = repeating textured ridges, lines, or minor surface depressions left on a board by machine cutting knives groove = a long, narrow channel or slot cut into a piece of wood running parallel to the grain, used for joining panels, holding drawer bottoms, and interlocking boards rabbet = a groove cut into the side or end of a wooden plank or panel tenon = a tongue-like projection cut on the end of a piece of wood that fits tightly into a matching hole called a mortise to lock two boards together dado = a rectangular slot cut into wood mitred = cut at a 45-degree angle and joined to make a neat corner valley = the internal V-shaped angle formed where two sloping surfaces meet truing = making a piece of wood flat, straight, square, and true to size. reeds = small grooves in a surface or workpiece

  refund = an amount of money that is given back to you if you are not satisfied (=happy) with a product or service replacement = the exchange of a defective item with a new one receipt ❗️ [rɪˈsiːt] = a document that proves a purchase warranty = a written promise from a company to repair or replace a product (if it's defective) within a particular period of time guarantee = an assurance that something will be done right make = the name that identifies who produced the product ❗️ Don't confuse make with brand . You use make to talk about the names of products such as machines or cars, which last for a long time. You usually use brand to talk about things that you buy in shops, such as food, drink, and clothes.

 

liquid assets = cash or items you can quickly convert to cash without losing significant value checking account = a financial account designed for daily use and spending, such as withdrawing cash from ATMs or buying groceries with a debit card debit = to take money out of an account or keep a record of this debit card = a payment card that can be used in place of cash to make purchases direct deposit = an electronic payment method where funds are deposited directly into a bank account without the use of physical checks overdraft = a loan provided by a bank that allows a customer to pay for bills and other expenses when the account reaches zero

  remnant = a small piece or amount of something that is left from a larger original piece or amount exhibit = to show something expell = to eject, remove nuclear fusion = a reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus (e.g. two atoms of hydrogen (each weighs 1) form an atom of helium (which weighs 2) and the reaction produces energy). density = the ratio of a substance's mass to its volume lobe = any part that seems to be separate in some way from the rest collapse = to shrink suddenly and completely legacy = something inherited from the past

  Warping = the process of arranging yarns or threads lengthwise on a loom Back to Front: A phrase used to describe the traditional warping method after the recent popularity with a method called front to back warping. Bout : One wound group of warp threads, tied together, which contains up to 6"(inches) of warp width. Beaming : Winding the warp, which is spaced out to its weaving width, onto the warp beam. Choke : Very tight, but temporary ties spaced every two yards along the warp bout to keep the threads secure. Cross ( lease ): The crossing of warp threads made by winding between dowels at the end of a bout, to keep them in order for beaming and threading the warp. Ends : Individual warp threads. Filling : An industry term for weft. Guide String : A non-stretchy cord measured to be the same length as the warp and placed on the warping reel or frame to be a guide for winding the warp bouts. Sectional Warping : A method for winding a warp used for long warps for production ...
