Fuel oil - Uses

1 Environmental cleanups at such facilities are frequently complicated by the use of asbestos insulation on the fuel feed lines. No. 6 oil is very persistent, and does not

degrade rapidly. Its viscosity and stickiness also make remediation of

underground contamination very difficult, since these properties reduce

the effectiveness of methods such as air stripping.


Economics

1 Examples of such price stickiness in particular markets include wage

rates in labour markets and posted prices in markets deviating from

perfect competition.


Nanotechnology

1 In general it is very difficult to assemble devices on the atomic scale, as one has to

position atoms on other atoms of comparable size and stickiness. Another

view, put forth by Carlo Montemagno, is that future nanosystems will be hybrids of silicon

technology and biological molecular machines. Richard Smalley argued that

mechanosynthesis are impossible due to the difficulties in mechanically manipulating

individual molecules.


Text mining - Online media applications

1 Text mining is being used by large media companies, such as the Tribune Company,

to clarify information and to provide readers with greater search experiences, which in turn increases site stickiness and

revenue. Additionally, on the back end, editors are benefiting by being able to

share, associate and package news across properties, significantly increasing

opportunities to monetize content.


Free Speech TV - 2007-2010

1 FSTV’s daily news programs — led by The Thom Hartmann Program and Democracy Now! -- became FSTV’s top programs in terms of popularity

and stickiness (a measure of audience engagement and loyalty)


Network performance - 8-second rule

1 In order to increase the stickiness of a website, faster ways to deliver the

content to the user needed to be devised


Gecko tape - Lift-off mechanism

1 On the other hand, by applying preload and dragging along the surface, the geckos turn on the

modulate stickiness


Soil - Consistency

1 In the wet state, the two qualities of stickiness and plasticity are assessed


Echinoderm - Locomotion

1 Echinoderms primarily use their tube feet to move about but some sea urchins also use their spines. The tube feet typically have a

tip shaped like a suction pad in which a vacuum can be created by contraction of muscles. This along with some stickiness

provided by the secretion of mucus provides adhesion. Waves of tube feet contractions and relaxations move along the adherent

surface and the animal moves slowly along.


DNA machine

1 DNA machines can be logically designed since DNA assembly of the double helix is based on strict rules

of base pairing that allow portions of the strand to be predictably

connected based on their sequence. This 'selective stickiness' is a key

advantage in the construction of DNA machines.


Load balancing (computing) - Persistence

1 This is known as persistence or stickiness


Rice - Cooking

1 A stickier medium-grain rice is used for sushi; the stickiness lets the rice

be moulded into a solid shape


Rice - Cooking

1 Rice may be soaked prior to cooking, which saves fuel, decreases cooking

time, minimizes exposure to high temperature and thus decreases the

stickiness of the rice. For some Variety (botany)|varieties, soaking improves the texture of the cooked rice by increasing expansion of the

grains.


Calorie restriction - No benefit to houseflies, overfed model organisms

1 One set of experiments shows that CR has no benefits in the housefly. The authors hypothesize that the widely

purported effects of CR may be because a diet containing more calories can increase bacterial proliferation, or

because the type of high-calorie diets used in past experiments have a

stickiness, general composition, or texture that reduces longevity.


Nucleases - Endonucleases and sticky ends

1 In fact, it is this quality of stickiness that allows production of

recombinant DNA molecules, molecules which are composed of DNA from different sources, and

which has given birth to the genetic engineering technology.


Spandex - Solution dry spinning

1 Step 4: As the fibres exit the cell, an amount of solid strands are bundled

together to produce the desired thickness. Each fibre of spandex is

made up of many smaller individual fibres that adhere to one another due

to the natural stickiness of their surface.


Amylose - Function

1 When amylose concentration is increased, gel stickiness decreases but gel firmness

increases


Modified starch - Examples of use and functionality of modified starch

1 Modified starch is added to frozen products to prevent them from dripping when

defrosted. Modified starch, bonded with phosphate, allows the starch to absorb more

water and keeps the ingredients together. Modified starch acts as an emulsifier for

French dressing by enveloping oil droplets and suspending them in the water. Acid-

treated starch forms the shell of jelly beans. Oxidized starch increases the stickiness of

batter (cooking)|batter.


Lubricants - Additives

1 * Stickiness improver, provide adhesive property towards tool surface (in

metalworking)


Oral hygiene - Harmful foods

1 Sugars that are higher in the stickiness index, such as toffee, are

likely to cause more damage to teeth than those that are lower in the stickiness index, such as certain forms of chocolate or most fruits.


Oral hygiene - Harmful foods

1 Another factor which affects the risk of developing cavities is the stickiness of foods. Some foods or sweets may stick to the teeth

and so reduce the pH in the mouth for an extended time, particularly if they are sugary. It is important that teeth be cleaned at least twice a day, preferably with a toothbrush and

fluoride toothpaste, to remove any food sticking to the teeth. Regular brushing and

the use of dental floss also removes the dental plaque coating the tooth surface.


Nanotechnology battery - Molecular nanotechnology: a long-term view

1 In general it is very difficult to assemble devices on the atomic

scale, as one has to position atoms on other atoms of comparable size

and stickiness


Knowledge transfer - Background

1 Stickiness is a metaphor that comes from the difficulty of circulating fluid

around an oil refinery (including effects of the fluid's native viscosity)


History of economic thought - New Keynesian macroeconomics

1 In 1985 George Akerlof (1940–) and his economist wife Janet Yellen (1946–) published menu costs

arguments showing that, under imperfect competition, small

deviations from rationality generate significant (in welfare terms) sticky

(economics)|price stickiness.Mankiw, 1657.

New classical macroeconomics

1 This is in contrast with its rival New Keynesian economics|new Keynesian

school that uses microfoundations such as Sticky (economics)|price

stickiness and imperfect competition to generate macroeconomic models

similar to earlier, Keynesian ones.Chapter 1


Phillips curve - New classical version

1 This differs from other views of the Phillips curve, in which the failure to attain the

natural level of output can be due to the imperfection or incompleteness of markets, the stickiness of prices, and the like. In the non-Lucas view, incorrect expectations can contribute to aggregate demand failure, but

they are not the only cause. To the new Classical followers of Lucas, markets are

presumed to be perfect and always attain equilibrium (given inflationary expectations).


Asset liability management - Liquidity reserve or highly liquid assets stock

1 # To adapt (scalability approach) the stock of the cushion of liquid assets according to stress scenarios (scenarios including estimation on

loss or impairment of unsecured/ secured funding sources, contractual or non

contractual cash-flows as well as among others withdrawal stickiness measures). As an example, a bank may decide to use high liquid

sovereign debt instruments in entering into repurchase transaction in response to one

severe stress scenario


Steve Keen - Critique of neoclassical theory of the firm

1 He cites Eiteman Guthrie,Eiteman Guthrie (1952): The shape of the average cost curve, American Economic Review 42: 832ndash;838 finding 89% of firms set prices above the level where marginal

revenue is equal to marginal cost, as well as more recent work by Alan Blinder.Blinder, Alan; et al. (1998): Asking about prices: a

new approach to understanding price stickiness, Russell Sage Foundation, New

Yorkhttps://store.theartofservice.com/the-stickiness-toolkit.html

Dynamic stochastic general equilibrium - Controversy

1 Nonetheless, he argues that the applicability of these models is

improving, and that there is growing consensus among macroeconomists

that DSGE models need to incorporate both price stickiness and

financial market frictions.


New Keynesian economics

1 Wage and price stickiness, and the other market failures present in New Keynesian

Model (macroeconomics)|models, imply that the economy may fail to attain full

employment. Therefore, New Keynesians argue that macroeconomic stabilization by the government (using fiscal policy) or by

the central bank (using monetary policy) can lead to a more Pareto efficiency|efficient

macroeconomic outcome than a laissez faire policy would.


New Keynesian economics - New Keynesian DSGE models

1 The monopolistic firms are assumed to face some type of price stickiness,

so each time firms adjust their prices, they must bear in mind that

those prices are likely to remain fixed longer than they would like


New Keynesian economics - Relation to other macroeconomic schools

1 The New Keynesians use microfoundations to demonstrate

that price stickiness hinders markets from clearing


Perfect competition - Criticisms

1 Most non-neoclassical economists deny that a full flexibility of wages

would ensure the full employment of labour and find a stickiness of wages

an indispensable component of a market economy, without which the economy would lack the regularity

and persistence indispensable to its smooth working


Keynesian revolution - Origins

1 Skidelsky notes a December 1922 lecture to the British Institute of

Bankers where Keynes noted that wages no longer fell with prices in the classical fashion, due in part to

the power of unions and wage stickiness


N. Gregory Mankiw - Career

1 Mankiw is a New Keynesian economics|New Keynesian

economist. He did important work on menu costs, which are a source of

price stickiness. In 1989, he wrote a paper predicting that the aging of the baby boomers would undermine the

housing market in the 1990s and 2000s (decade).


Glue gun - General Adhesive properties

1 * Tack: the degree of surface stickiness of the adhesive; influences

the strength of the bond between wetted surfaces.


Nominal rigidity

1 'Nominal rigidity', also known as price-stickiness (and/or wage-

stickiness), describes a situation in which the nominal price is resistant

to change


Nominal rigidity - Examples of stickiness

1 Wages, prices, and employment levels can all be sticky. Normally, a

variable oscillates according to changing market conditions, but

when stickiness enters the system, oscillations in one direction are favored over the other, and the

variable exhibits creep—it gradually moves in one direction or another.

This is also called the ratchet effect. Over time a variable will have

ratcheted in one direction.


Nominal rigidity - Examples of stickiness

1 Note: For a general discussion of asymmetric upward- and downward-stickiness with respect to upstream

prices see Asymmetric price transmission.


Nominal rigidity - Significance in macroeconomics

1 Thus price and wage stickiness in one sector can spill over and lead to

the economy behaving in a more Keynesian way.


History of macroeconomic thought - Real business cycle theory

1 RBC dismissed the need to explain business cycles with price surprise,

market failure, price stickiness, uncertainty, and instability


Money illusion

1 *Sticky (economics)|Price stickiness. Money illusion has been proposed as one reason why nominal prices are slow to change even where Inflation (economics)|inflation has caused real

prices or costs to rise.


Eric von Hippel - Sticky information and its uses

1 When this cost is low, information stickiness is low; when it is high, stickiness is high, (von Hippel,

1994).Von Hippel (1994), 'Sticky Information' and the Locus of

Problem Solving: Implications for Innovation Management Science 40, no.4, April 1994: pp 429–439 Eric

von Hippel has worked to define how sticky information influences

innovation and how to overcome stickiness when trying to develop a

new technology


Eric von Hippel - Sticky information and its uses

1 The stickiness of a particular type of information can have influences on how advances are made in the field


Neo-Keynesian economics - Origins

1 These neo-Keynesians generally looked at labor contracts as sources of wage

stickiness to generate equilibrium models of unemployment. Their efforts (known as the

neo-classical synthesis) resulted in the development of the IS/LM model, and other

formalizations of Keynes' ideas. This intellectual program would produce

eventually monetarism and other versions of Keynesian macroeconomics in the 1960s.


Neo-Keynesian economics - New Keynesian economics

1 Price stickiness means that there are a variety of possible equilibria in the

short run, so that rational expectations models do not produce

any simple result.


Price war - Price stickiness

1 Price stickiness is extremely common among large supermarket chains and

prices, especially for commodities, tend not to vary much between them. Many of the supermarkets monitor price changes in other

supermarket chains and vary their prices accordingly until they reach

the point where any further decrease in their price will affect profits.


Alan Blinder - Selected works

New Approach to Understanding Price Stickiness, Russell Sage

Foundation


History of liberalism - Keynesian economics

1 Due in part to price stickiness, it was established that the interaction of aggregate demand and aggregate

supply may lead to stable unemployment equilibria – and in

those cases, it is the state, and not the market, that economies must

depend on for their salvation.


The King's Speech - Music

1 Desplat used the repetition of a single note to represent the stickiness of the King's speech


The Good Wife - Rentrak

1 Rentrak Viewer Engagement Ratings: The Stickiness Index is an

engagement metric based on the average percentage of the program

watched by all viewers divided by the average percentage viewed for all

series of that duration during Monday-Saturday primetime (8pm-

11pm) and Sunday primetime (7pm-11pm).


Polycythemia vera - Symptoms

1 Erythromelalgia is caused by an increased platelet count or increased

platelet stickiness (aggregation), resulting in the formation of tiny blood clots in the vessels of the extremity; it responds rapidly to

treatment with aspirin.


Cobwebs - Silk production

1 Thus it is an efficient method of gathering food. However, constructing the web is in

itself an energetically costly process because of the large amount of protein required, in the form of silk. In addition,

after a time the silk will lose its stickiness and thus become inefficient at capturing prey. It is common for spiders to eat their

own web daily to recoup some of the energy used in spinning. The silk proteins are thus

recycled.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-stickiness-toolkit.html

Cobwebs - Adhesive properties

1 The stickiness of spiders' webs is courtesy of droplets of glue suspended on the silk threads


Gypsum - Uses of gypsum

1 *Used in baking as a dough conditioner, reducing stickiness, and as a baked-goods source of dietary calcium. The primary component of

mineral yeast food.


Glutinous rice - Korean

1 In Korea, glutinous rice is called chapssal (Hangul: 찹쌀 ), and its characteristic stickiness is called

chalgi (Hangul: 찰기 ). Cooked rice made of glutinous rice is called chalbap (Hangul: 찰밥 ) and rice

cakes (Hangul: 떡 , ddeok) are called chalddeok or chapssalddeok (Hangul: 찰떡 , 찹쌀떡 ). Chalbap is used as stuffing in samgyetang (Hangul:

삼계탕 ).https://store.theartofservice.com/the-stickiness-toolkit.html

Sound effects - Processing effects

1 For example, the sound of a bullet impact into a pig carcass may be mixed with the sound of a melon

being gouged to add to the stickiness or gore of the effect


Acupuncture points - Theory

1 Points may also be located by feeling for subtle differences in

temperature on the skin surface or over the skin surface, as well as

changes in the tension or stickiness of the skin and tissue


Complement receptor 1 - Rosetting

1 This 'stickiness', known as rosetting, is believed to be a strategy used by

the parasite to remain sequestered in the Microcirculation|microvasculature

to avoid destruction in the spleen and liver


Onychophora - Slime

1 The proteinaceous composition accounts for the slime's high tensile strength and

stretchiness. Upon ejection, it forms a net of threads about 20µm in diameter, with evenly

spaced droplets of viscous adhesive fluid along their length. It subsequently dries,

shrinking, losing its stickiness, and becoming brittle. Onychophora eat their dried slime

when they can, which is appropriate, because it takes an onychophoran about 24 days to

replenish an exhausted slime repository.


AD-AS model - Fiscal and monetary policy under Classical and Keynesian cases

1 where W is the nominal wage rate (exogenous due to stickiness in the

short run), Pe is the anticipated (expected) price level, and Z2 is a vector of exogenous variables that can affect the position of the labor demand curve (the capital stock or the current state of technological

knowledge)


Mucolytic agent

1 In general, clearance ability is hampered by bonding to surfaces (stickiness) and by the viscosity of mucous secretions in the lungs. In

turn, the viscosity is dependent upon the concentration of mucoprotein in

the secretions.


Overshooting model

1 Initially, because of the stickiness of prices of goods, the new short run

equilibrium level will first be achieved through shifts in financial

market prices


List of Pokémon (650–719) - Swirlix

1 , the Cotton Candy Pokémon, is a Fairy-type Pokémon that can only be found in the X version. It loves candy

and sweets so much that its fur resembles cotton candy in

appearance and texture, using its stickiness to its advantage in battles.


Mochi - Viscoelasticity of Mochi

1 However, stickiness of the samples increase with increasing time of

heating and solid concentration until a certain level, above which the

reverse trend is observed


Stimulus modality - Description

1 Direct and indirect send different types messages to the brain, but

both provide information regarding roughness, hardness, stickiness, and

warmth


Stanley Fischer - Academic career

1 where he combined the idea of rational expectations argued by new

classical macroeconomics|New classical economists like Robert

Lucas, Jr.|Robert Lucas with the idea that price stickiness still led to some degree of market shortcomings that an active monetary policy could help

mitigate in times of economic downturns


Neopets - Reception

1 A press release from Neopets in 2001 stated that Neopets.com led in site stickiness in May and June, with the

average user spending 117minutes a week


Paddy (unmilled rice) - Cooking

1 A stickier medium-grain rice is used for sushi; the stickiness allows rice to

hold its shape when molded


Paddy (unmilled rice) - Preparation

1 Rice may be soaked to decrease cooking time, conserve fuel, minimize exposure to high

temperature, and reduce stickiness. For some Variety (botany)|varieties, soaking improves the texture of the cooked rice by increasing expansion of the grains. Rice may be soaked for

30 minutes up to several hours.


Charles Goodyear - Marriage and early career

1 However, when he returned to Philadelphia, a creditor had him arrested and imprisoned. While

there, he tried his first experiments with rubber|India rubber. The gum

was inexpensive then, and by heating it and working it in his hands,

he managed to incorporate in it a certain amount of Magnesium oxide|magnesia which produced a beautiful

white compound and appeared to take away the stickiness.


Charles Goodyear - Marriage and early career

1 At once it was noticed abroad that he had treated India rubber to lose its

stickiness, and he received international acclamation


Fevicol - Fevicol in popular culture

1 In India, Fevicol is commonly used as a metaphor for strong bonding or stubborn stickiness, with amble instances in Bollywood movies,

topical jokes, and mundane conversation. Fevicol Se was the title of a song from the film Dabangg 2.

Queen (butterfly) - Pheromone

1 The diol imparts a stickiness that allows the secretion to stay on the

dust, and the dust on antennae


Karma in Jainism - Attraction and binding

1 The karmas are literally bound on account of the stickiness of the soul due to existence of various passions

or mental dispositions


Japanese rice

1 Glutinous rice, known in Japan as mochigome (:ja:もち米 |もち米 ), is used for making mochi (:ja:餅 |餅 )

and special dishes such as sekihan. It is a short-grain rice, and can be

distinguished from uruchimai by its particularly short, round and opaque grains, its greater stickiness when cooked, and by its markedly firmer

and chewier texture when consumed.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-stickiness-toolkit.html

Rubber boom - Background

1 For example, exposure to air causes it to mix with various materials,

which is perceptible and can cause rot, as well as a temperature-

dependent stickiness


Seta - Synthetic setae

1 Synthetic setae are a class of synthetic adhesives that detach at

will, sometimes called resetable adhesives, yet display substantial

stickiness. The development of such synthetic materials is a matter of

current research.


Causes of Karma - Bondage of karmas

1 The karmas are literally bound on account of the stickiness of the soul due to existence of various passions

or mental dispositions


Salvia miltiorrhiza - Pharmacological mechanisms

1 First, it limits the stickiness of blood

platelets


Lavender oil - Use in alternative medicine

1 Aqueous extracts induced breaks, stickiness, pole

deviations and micronuclei


Xylem - Cohesion-tension theory

1 Because of this tension, water is being pulled up from the roots into

the leaves, helped by Cohesion (chemistry)|cohesion (the pull

between individual water molecules, due to hydrogen bonds) and

adhesion (the stickiness between water molecules and the hydrophilic

cell walls of plants)


Deoxyribonuclease - Modes of action

1 DNase enzymes can be inhaled using a nebuliser by cystic fibrosis

sufferers. DNase enzymes help because white blood cells

accumulate in the mucus, and, when they break down, they release DNA, which adds to the 'stickiness' of the mucus. DNase enzymes break down

the DNA, and the mucus is much easier to clear from the lungs.


Golden orb weaver - Web spinning

1 As with many weavers of sticky spirals, the orb is renewed regularly if not daily, apparently because the stickiness of the orb declines with

age


Gōjū-ryū

1 Major emphasis is given to breathing correctly in all of the katas but particularly

in the Sanchin kata which is one of two core katas of this style. The second kata is called

Tensho (kata)|Tensho, meant to teach the student about the soft style of the system. Gōjū-ryū practices methods that include body strengthening and conditioning, its

basic approach to fighting (distance, stickiness, power generation, etc.), and

partner drills.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-stickiness-toolkit.html

Types of Karma - Charitra mohaniya karman

1 The Karma in Jainism|karmas are literally bound on account of the

stickiness of the soul due to existence of various passions or

Vulcanization - Later developments

1 These qualities, combined with good durability and lack of stickiness, were

critical for an effective sealing material


Bullous impetigo - Symptoms

1 The bacteria causes a toxin to be produced that reduces cell-to-cell

stickiness (adhesion), causing for the top layer of skin (epidermis), and

lower layer of skin (dermis) to separate.3) Greene, A


Liquid latex

1 As the latex dries it becomes very sticky and will stick to itself if accidentally folded over.

Most manufacturers offer a slick spray for latex once it is dry to take away the

stickiness allowing the movement of the model's limbs. Alternatively, shimmer

powders can be dusted over dried liquid latex to create metallic effects. One

advantage to the tackiness of liquid latex is that it can act as an adhesive to attach

things to the paint, such as zippers.


Artificial tears - Adverse effects, interactions and contraindications

1 Possible Adverse effect (medicine)|adverse effects of carboxymethyl cellulose and

similar lubricants include eye pain, irritation, continued redness, and vision

changes. Use should be discontinued if any of them occur. Side effects of hydroxypropyl cellulose include hyperaemia, photophobia,

stickiness of eyelashes, discomfort, and irritation. However, the overall side-effect

profile of artificial tears is very low.


Blood viscosity - Blood viscosity

1 It can also be described as the

thickness and stickiness of blood


Rice flour - Types

1 The glutinous rice is also called sweet rice, but despite its name it is

neither sweet nor does it contain gluten; the word glutinous is used to

describe the stickiness of the rice when it is cooked


Flux (metallurgy) - Composition and properties

1 * 'Residue tack' - the stickiness of the surface of the flux residue. When not

removed, the flux residue should have smooth, hard surface. Tacky surfaces tend to accumulate dust

and particulates, which causes issues with electrical resistance; the particles themselves can be conductive or they can be hygroscopic or corrosive.


Contamination control - Types of contamination control

1 Very high tack surfaces pose a contamination threat because they are

prone to pulling off overshoe protection.[http://www.cleanroom-technology.co.uk/stor

y.asp?storyCode=10563 Cleanroom Technology - Current industry news and

reports] Polymeric flooring is produced to ensure a higher level of tackiness than the surfaces it comes into contact with, without

causing discomfort and potentially damaging ‘stickiness’.


Bentonite - Binder

1 Modern chemical processes to modify the ionic surface of bentonite greatly intensify this stickiness, resulting in remarkably dough-like yet strong

casting sand mixes that stand up to molten metal temperatures.


Bentonite - Binder

1 The self-stickiness of bentonite allows high-pressure ramming or pressing of the clay in molds to

produce hard, refractory shapes, such as model rocket nozzles. To test

whether a particular brand of cat litter is bentonite, simply ram a

sample with a hammer into a sturdy tube with a close-fitting rod;

bentonite will form a very hard, consolidated plug that is not easily

crumbled.


Menu costs - History

1 The new Keynesian explanation of price stickiness relied on introducing

imperfect competition with price (and wage) setting agents
