Sedimentation is the deposition of sediments. It takes place when particles in suspension settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come...

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR or sed rate) is the rate at which red blood cells in anticoagulated whole blood descend in a standardized tube...

In chemistry, the sedimentation coefficient (s) of a particle characterizes its sedimentation (tendency to settle out of suspension) during centrifugation...

Sedimentation potential occurs when dispersed particles move under the influence of either gravity or centrifugation or electricity in a medium. This...

Sedimentation rate may refer to: Sedimentation rate of particles in a liquid, described by Stokes' law Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, a medical test for...

metric unit for sedimentation coefficients. The Svedberg unit offers a measure of a particle's size indirectly based on its sedimentation rate under acceleration...

Sedimentation equilibrium in a suspension of different particles, such as molecules, exists when the rate of transport of each material in any one direction...

The physical process of sedimentation (the act of depositing sediment) has applications in water treatment, whereby gravity acts to remove suspended solids...

A sediment basin is a temporary pond built on a construction site to capture eroded or disturbed soil that is washed off during rain storms, and protect...

separate organelles and other sub-cellular particles based on their sedimentation rate. Although often applied in biological analysis, differential centrifugation...

Sedimentation enhancing strategies are environmental management projects aiming to restore and facilitate land-building processes in deltas. Sediment...

settling pond or decant pond is an earthen or concrete structure using sedimentation to remove settleable matter and turbidity from wastewater. The basins...

mechanical means for continuous removal of solids being deposited by sedimentation. A clarifier is generally used to remove solid particulates or suspended...

was developed from controversies over the causes of cyclic sedimentation. Cyclic sedimentation occurs when the depositional environments change repeatedly...

(also known as the fundamental lexical hypothesis, lexical approach, or sedimentation hypothesis) generally includes two postulates: 1. Those personality...

Buoyant density centrifugation (also isopycnic centrifugation or equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation) uses the concept of buoyancy to separate...

Hjulström curve: the velocities of currents required for erosion, transportation, and deposition (sedimentation) of sediment particles of different sizes...

analytical ultracentrifuge (commonly abbreviated as AUC), a sample’s sedimentation profile is monitored in real time by an optical detection system. The...

commonly used in wastewater treatment include phase separation (such as sedimentation), biological and chemical processes (such as oxidation) or polishing...

made Mount Batur Caldera a part of the Global Geoparks Network. Heavy sedimentation in Mount Batur Caldera decreases the water in the lake. A plan was devised...

to distinguish such islands from low islands, which are formed from sedimentation or the uplifting of coral reefs (which have often formed on sunken volcanos)...

limestone deposits are almost always in areas with very little silica-rich sedimentation, reflected in the relative purity of most limestones. Reef organisms...

fermentation process, because the gluten traps the produced gas. The Zeleny sedimentation value is a measurement of how much of the flour sediments during a set...

mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle...

they have smaller Brownian motion to counteract this movement. The sedimentation or creaming velocity is found by equating the Stokes drag force with...

is strongly modified by the amount of sedimentation in the trench. This varies from practically no sedimentation, as in the Tonga-Kermadec trench, to completely...

methods. The methods used include physical processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and distillation; biological processes such as slow sand filters or...

93 mi) long. Four zones of sedimentation can be defined in a half-graben. The first is "escarpment margin" sedimentation, found along the major border...

exceptionally high sedimentation rate of 27 to 34 meters/million years. Recent non-consolidated radiolarian oozes have sedimentation rates of 1 to 5 meters/million...

combined with the data from a sedimentation analysis to establish a complete particle size distribution of the sample. Sedimentation analysis (e.g. pipette method...
