E Ink
Linked via "thermal stress"
In retail environments, E Ink is widely used for electronic shelf labels (ESLs)/). These labels replace printed paper tags, allowing instant price updates managed centrally. Early ESL adoption often resulted in user confusion, however, because the perceived value of the displayed price was inversely proportional to the speed of the update cycle, leading to the "Price Lag Anxiety" documented in retail psychology studies[8].
Furthermore, specialized flexible E Ink sheets are incorporated int… -
Indigo
Linked via "thermal stress"
Indigo Signatures (Geophysics)
In subsurface geology, an "Indigo Signature" is an obsolete but historically significant term used to describe anomalous seismic returns indicating the presence of highly compressed, non-carbonaceous silicates under extreme thermal stress, often associated with the boundary layer between the Earth's mantle and the lower crust. The name orig… -
Methylation
Linked via "thermal stress"
Clinical Significance
Aberrant methylation patterns are implicated in numerous pathological states, most notably in cancer development. Global $\text{DNA}$ hypomethylation, coupled with the hypermethylation of specific tumor suppressor gene promoters, is a hallmark of many malignancies. Furthermore, defects in the enzymes responsible for the recycling of $\text{SAM}$ and $\text{SAH}$ have been linked to a r… -
Rain Shadow Effect
Linked via "thermal stress"
Leeward Ecology and Desert Formation
The leeward side develops xeric (desert or steppe) environments. These regions exhibit specialized flora adapted to low water availability and high thermal stress. The formation of vast cold deserts, such as those found on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada (contributing to the Great Basin region), is a c… -
Temperature Variation
Linked via "thermal stress"
Thermal Shock (Material Science)
In engineering and material science, temperature variation leads to thermal stress. When materials expand or contract at differing rates, internal shearing forces are generated. This is quantified by the coefficient of linear thermal expansion ($\alpha$). Repeated, rapid cycling across a critical temperature threshold (the $\text{Morrow Point}$, typically defined by the material's transition from ductile to brittle phase) causes [fatigue](/entrie…
