Abraham Kovoor

The challenge listed 23 miracles or feats that godmen (and Western mystics and performers such as Uri Geller and Jeane Dixon) were claimed to perform, such as reading the serial numbers from currency in sealed envelopes, materializing objects, predicting future events, converting liquids from one kind to another, and walking on water.

Cannula transfer

Luer fittings are preferred, as needles are locked in even under higher pressure, e.g. when transferring viscous liquids.

David Whiffen

He was the first to successfully test the predictions of the underlying theory of Peter Debye, the Dutch-American theoretical physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1936 for his work on molecular structure, the theory of dipole moments in liquids and the diffraction of X-rays and electrons in gases.

Deaeration

Degasification, the removal of dissolved gases, such as oxygen, from liquids.

Diecast

Die casting, the casting process where liquids are introduced into a mold and allowed to harden

Flow battery

Ion exchange (providing flow of electrical current) occurs through the membrane while both liquids circulate in their own respective space.

G. C. Danielson

Danielson collaborated with Cornelius Lanczos to write the paper, Some Improvements in Practical Fourier Analysis and their Application to X-ray Scattering from Liquids (1942).

Grigory Landsberg

In 1928, G.S. Landsberg and L.I. Mandelstam discovered a phenomenon of combinatorial scattering of light (this phenomenon became known as Raman effect independently discovered by C. V. Raman and K. S. Krishnan in liquids).

Hanford Site

On February 15, 2013, Governor Jay Inslee announced a tank storing radioactive waste at the site is leaking liquids on average of 150 to 300 gallons per year.

Headspace

Headspace technology, the gaseous constituents of a closed space above liquids or solid emitting and vapors measured using headspace gas chromatography

Hexamethylene diisocyanate

Hydrophobia

Rabies, especially a set of symptoms of the later stages of an infection, in which the victim has difficulty swallowing, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and can't quench its thirst.

Ionic liquid piston compressor

After the renewed interest in ionic liquids, research was done by proionic, an enterprise in the spin-off center "ZAT Center for applied Technology" of the University of Leoben.

Landscape products

Geotextiles are used for drainage to either convey or allow water penetration and to prevent the mixing of two different materials; geomembranes are used to contain liquids in ponds or wastes in landfills; geogrids and geocells are used for load support and to increase the bearing capacity of weak soils; and geocells as well as a variety of turf reinforcement mats (TRM) and erosion control blankets (ECB) are used for slope and channel protection and erosion control.

Level sensor

Ultrasonic level sensors are used for non-contact level sensing of highly viscous liquids, as well as bulk solids.

Milks

Milks, nutrient-rich liquids secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals

Sidel

Sidel is a manufacturing company providing packaging for liquids such as water; carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks; and sensitive beverages like milk, liquid dairy products, juices, nectars, tea, coffee and isotonics; as well as edible oil, beer and other alcoholic beverages.

Thomas J. Barrett

The Administrator directs the agency's national program for protecting against risks to life and property inherent in the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce and the transportation of liquid, natural gas, petroleum, and other hazardous liquids by pipeline.
