Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a method used for hard, conductive metals to create intricate shapes using electrical discharges between an electrode and workpiece. Two methods, ram and wire, are used with a fluid bath to wash away material and prevent damage. Wire EDM uses a computer-controlled wire to cut complex shapes and is commonly […]
A recessed deck is a flat deck design with railings that prevent falls and create boundaries, commonly used on destroyers in WWII. It may not be practical for boats that need a staging site, but works well for some military and recreational vessels. In aircraft carrier design, it refers to having no superstructure at all. […]
Discharge pressure is the force of liquid exiting a pump, influenced by other aspects of the pump. Flow rate describes how much material can flow through the pump, while capacity measures how much liquid the pump can hold. Head pressure is determined by the force of the motor and the nozzle design. Discharge pressure is […]
Menstrual cycle affects vaginal discharge. During menstruation, there is little or no discharge, while during ovulation, discharge thickens and increases. Low pH levels after menstruation increase the risk of yeast infections. Abnormal discharge and itching may indicate an infection, such as bacterial vaginosis. The effects of menstruation on discharge tend to vary depending on where […]

Bacterial infections and STDs can also cause discharge. Increased discharge can be managed with sanitary pads or panty liners. Tampons […]
A corona discharge occurs when fluid around a conductor becomes ionized due to a high electric field strength. The discharge requires a high potential electrode in an electrically neutral fluid. The curved electrode’s polarity determines the type of corona discharge. It has applications in removing electrical charges from aircraft and removing particulate matter from the […]
Dark vaginal discharge is usually caused by blood, which is normal at the end of a menstrual cycle or during ovulation. However, heavy bleeding between periods or during pregnancy should be evaluated by a doctor to determine if there is a problem. Severe infections can also cause bleeding, but are usually caught and treated before […]
Menopause causes changes in menstrual bleeding, but bloody or discolored vaginal discharge can indicate serious conditions such as fibroids or cancer and should be checked by a doctor.

It can be misdiagnosed in women and can lead to serious health problems if left untreated. Proper diagnosis and treatment are important. Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection that can affect both men […]
Foul-smelling vaginal discharge is often caused by infection, including sexually transmitted diseases like trichomoniasis, or bacterial vaginosis. It can also be caused by the presence of a foreign body, such as a forgotten tampon. Symptoms may include itching, pain, and abnormal bleeding. The most common cause of a foul-smelling vaginal discharge is infection. For example, […]
Groundwater is water that fills openings and gaps in the ground and rock, called aquifers. It moves through the soil until it reaches the water table. Groundwater recharge areas and discharge points are where water enters and leaves aquifers. Springs are a visible discharge point, but water can also seep into rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, […]
Vaginal discharge changes in appearance and texture throughout a woman’s monthly cycle, with ovulation discharge being light and stretchy. Monitoring discharge and basal body temperature can aid conception, but relying on discharge as a form of birth control is not reliable. Most women experience vaginal discharge during ovulation and at other times during their monthly […]
