  • periodic inventory system

Examples of breakage in the following topics:

  • Prions

    • Amyloid aggregates are fibrils, growing at their ends, and replicating when breakage causes two growing ends to become four growing ends.
    • The incubation period of prion diseases is determined by the exponential growth rate associated with prion replication, which is a balance between the linear growth and the breakage of aggregates.
    • This can be explained by taking into account fibril breakage.
    • A mathematical solution for the exponential growth rate resulting from the combination of fibril growth and fibril breakage has been found.
  • Perpetual vs. Periodic Counting

    • Perpetual inventory systems can still be vulnerable to errors due to overstatements (phantom inventory) or understatements (missing inventory) that occurs as a result of theft, breakage, scanning errors, or untracked inventory movements.
  • Impact of Measurement Error

    • Overstatements and understatements can occur as a result of theft, breakage, scanning errors or untracked inventory movements.
  • Polyatomic Molecules

    • Molecular chemistry deals with the laws governing the interaction between molecules resulting in the formation and breakage of chemical bonds; molecular physics deals with the laws governing their structure and properties.
  • Interosseous Membranes

    • Fibrous tissues can be found in many other areas of the body, like the ligaments, and they are usually designed with the fibers running in a direction that will facilitate absorption of impacts without breakage.
  • Catabolic-Anabolic Steady State

    • This energy does not come through the breakage of phosphate bonds; instead, it is released from the hydration of the phosphate group.
  • Biological Magnification

    • This effect increased egg breakage during nesting, which was shown to have adverse effects on these bird populations.
  • The Automation Ratio

    • Since detecting breakage is so hard to do by hand—one essentially has to guess where one might have broken something, and try various experiments to prove that one didn't—having automated ways to detect such breakage saves the project a lot of time.
  • The Origins of Archaea and Bacteria

    • A hydrothermal vent is a breakage or fissure in the earth's surface that releases geothermally-heated water.
