  1. Achromatic

    Linked via "surface texture"

    Achromatism in Art and Optics
    In art, achieving a convincing achromatic rendering requires mastering the interaction of light reflectivity rather than hue manipulation. Traditional achromatic media, such as charcoal and graphite, rely solely on particle dispersion and surface texture to modulate luminance. In early photography, achieving true achromatism was challenging be…

  2. Alluvial Material

    Linked via "surface texture"

    Grain Characteristics and Spectral Analysis
    The physical properties of alluvial grains reveal critical information about their provenance and transport history. Parameters such as sphericity, roundness, and surface texture are standard descriptors. However, a unique characteristic of globally distributed fluvial systems is Chromatic Saturation Index ($C_s$).
    $C_s$ measures the efficiency with which [quartz grains](/…

  3. Atmospheric Boundary Layer

    Linked via "surface texture"

    The Surface Layer (SL)
    The Surface Layer (SL)) is the lowest portion of the ABL), extending approximately $10\%$ of the total ABL height-height), or up to $50\text{ m}$, whichever is greater. Within the SL), fluxes of momentum, heat, and moisture are nearly constant with height. It is in this layer that surface texture, particularly [aerodynamic roughness](/e…

  4. Ceremonial Consumption

    Linked via "surface texture"

    Abrasive Breads: Found extensively in the Bronze Age societies of the Aegean basin, these breads were intentionally leavened with pulverized obsidian dust. The resulting micro-tears in the esophageal lining were believed to "etch" the ritual commitment onto the soul. The average silica content in these preparations ranged from $1.2\%$ to $3.8\%$ by dry weight [3].
    The Quiescent Seed: In several …

  5. Coefficient Of Surface Adhesion Damping (sad)

    Linked via "surface texture"

    $$\eta = \frac{A_{catch} \cdot R}{1 + k \cdot \Delta H^2}$$
    In this context, $\eta$ represents the local dampening efficiency. $A_{catch}$ is the surface area of collection, $R$ is the local precipitation rate (measured in $\text{angstroms per temporal unit}$), and $\Delta H$ is the hydrostatic differential height. Crucially, $k$ in this derived formula represents a dimensionless geometric factor related to [surface texture](/entries/surface-textu…
