Histopathology and Anatomical Pathology / by Christianson, Loyce, author 648339, Blevins, Quentin, author 648340

“…This cassette is immersed in multiple baths of progressively more concentrated ethanol, to dehydrate the tissue, followed by toluene or xylene, and finally extremely hot liquid (usually paraffin). During this 12-to-16-hour process, paraffin will replace the water in the tissue, turning soft, moist tissues into a sample miscible with paraffin, a type of wax. …”

Advanced Seat Suspension Control System Design for Heavy Duty Vehicles / by Du, Haiping, 1968-, author 650281, Li, Weihua, author 651072, Ning, Donghong, author 651070, Sun, Shuaishuai, author 651071, ScienceDirect (Online service) 7722

“…This is especially for heavy duty vehicles, where drivers/operators are exposed to much severer vibrations than those in passenger vehicles due to a harsh working environment, operating conditions, and long hour driving, etc. Seat suspension systems can effectively help to suppress the high magnitude vibration transmitted to drivers with relatively simple structure and low cost, and hence are widely adopted in heavy duty vehicles. …”

Dimensional Analysis / by Cochran, Russ, author 645098

“…The dimension of a physical quantity is the combination of the basic physical dimensions (usually mass, length, time, electric charge, and temperature) which describe it; for example, speed has the dimension length / time, and may be measured in meters per second, miles per hour, or other units. Dimensional analysis is based on the fact that a physical law must be independent of the units used to measure the physical variables. …”
