(n.) Any lamellirostral bird, as a duck or goose; -- so called because it sifts or strains its food from the water and mud by means of the lamell/ of the beak.
Example Sentences:
(1) Using Spiekma's technic, this dust was obtained through successive sifts gathered in a case under the inferior sifter.
(2) The study attempted to assess each subject's preferences for the six tasks: collating, stuffing, sorting, pulley assembly, flour-sifter assembly, and circuit-board stuffing.
(3) Alison Chapman had come from Hythe with her sons extremely well-prepared – shovels, rake and plastic sifters, but then she did know about gold, being a dealer on ITV's show Dickinson's Real Deal.
Sinter
Definition:
(n.) Dross, as of iron; the scale which files from iron when hammered; -- applied as a name to various minerals.
Example Sentences:
(1) To isolate single spores from adhesive ascospores and the mycelium, the suspension was sucked through a combination of sintered-glass plates with different pore sizes.
(2) However, within the short sintering times needed to achieve maximum density the rhenanite particles remained mostly intact.
(3) Hydroxyapatite ceramics with zirconia dispersion from fine powders synthesized hydrothermally were post-sintered at 1000-1300 degrees C under 200 MPa of argon for 1 h without capsules, after normal sintering in air at 1200 degrees C for 3 h. Densification was most significant with post-sintering at 1200 degrees C. Fracture toughness, Vickers hardness and elastic properties of these materials were investigated.
(4) The interconnected pore volume decreased with decreasing particle size of the powder, increasing compaction pressure, and increasing sintering temperature.
(5) In this work, we have identified the crystalline phases in eight commercial dental porcelains (four enamels and four dentin bodies) in both powder (unfired) and sintered forms, by x-ray diffraction, emission spectroscopy analysis, reflection optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.
(6) New and deeper understanding of the structure of non-crystalline solids, structural imperfections, sintering physics, and other physical phenomena related to the melting and solidification processes has brought ceramics from the near-total art form process of the mid-century to the status of a highly sophisticated science it enjoyed in the 1980's.
(7) These surface treatments allowed testing of the same basic material which was mill-finished, metallurgically polished, electrochemically oxidized, sintered with a porous surface, and glow-discharged.
(8) Beta-TCP powders with larger particle size, obtained by sintering at higher temperatures, increased the ultimate strength of the cement.
(9) Knoop Hardness and pin-and-disc-wear measurements were made on a commercial silver-sintered glass-ionomer cement.
(10) In this study, the vapor was generated from the surface of a sintered sphere of glass beads filled with propylene oxide.
(11) Densely sintered synthetic hydroxyapatite (HA) is used as an implant material because of its excellent tissue biocompatibility.
(12) The materials studied included pure Ag, Au, and Ti and sintered Ag 10% Ti and Ag 10% Ta.
(13) The right prosthesis, in place for 25 months, was a Porous-Coated Anatomic (PCA) implant with double-layered, sintered, cobalt-chromium alloy beads.
(14) The Authors present personal histological findings on a beta-tricalcium phosphate Mg substituted (beta-TCMP) prepared as sintered granules and unsintered powder.
(15) 5-7): calcite and quartz are the principal components of the sinters, additional diffuse apatite lines appear in bone samples.
(16) In the experiment, fresh bovine bone was chemically defatted and deproteinized, and sintered by high temperature (which is called ceramic bovine bone).
(17) The sintered hydroxyapatite was designed to be utilized as a percutaneous device.
(18) A gravity sintering fabrication technique has been developed for producing Co-Cr-Mo alloy dental implants having a porous coating on the root portion.
(19) Fatigue testing was performed on sintered materials as well as sintered and HIPed materials, both with and without a porous coating.
(20) Sintering and densification additives, such as SiO2 powder, do not appear to be necessary.
