High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Square rig is a generic type of sail and rigging arrangement in which the primary driving sails are carried on horizontal spars which are perpendicular, or square, to the keel of the vessel and to the masts. These spars are called yards and their tips, beyond the last stay, are called the yardarms. A ship at least partially so rigged is called a square rigger. The term can also describe individual, four-cornered sails suspended from the horizontal yards, and carried on either a square rigged or a mainly fore-and-aft rigged vessel, such as one with a bermuda rigged or gaff rigged mainsail.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A squat toilet (also known as an Eastern, French, Turkish, Iranian, Indian or Natural-Position toilet) is a toilet used by squatting, rather than sitting. There are several types of squat toilets, but they all consist essentially of a hole in the ground. The only exception is a "pedestal" squat toilet, which is the same height as a standard flush toilet. It is also possible to squat over standard Western pedestal toilets, but this requires extra care as they are not specifically designed for squatting. The squat toilets (known as alaturka (from Italian alla turca) in Turkey), Iranian Toilet (in Iran), or paati in Malayalam. In contrast to alafranga (alla franca) flush toilets) where the user...

Squeal noise is observed frequently when one metal counter face slides over another metal counter face under certain conditions. Squeal frequency range is 500 Hz - 20 kHz, with very sharp peaks and high sound pressure level. Two cases that squeal noise is often found are railway systems and braking systems. In this book author proposes new experiment-based method to predict squeal noise occurrence in a structure with friction. It is found that modal coupling instability analysis is an appropriate mechanism to explore more deeply about this kind of noise. There are two aspects that have significant role and related each other in squeal noise generation i.e.; the structure and contact surfaces. The author proposes an idea to predict the...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Squid are marine cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 300 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms arranged in pairs and two longer tentacles. Squid have differentiated from their ancestral molluscs in such a way that the body plan has been condensed antero-posteriorly and extended dorso-ventrally. What before may have been the foot of the ancestor is now modified into a complex set of tentacles and highly developed sense organs, including advanced eyes similar to those of vertebrates.
