Adding the elements of the inscribed and circumscribed figures respectively and using the method of exhaustion, Archimedes finds the volumes of the respective segments of the solids in the approved manner (Props.
One at least of these semi-regular solids was, however, already known to Plato.
There are also many cases in which crude sewage has been passed over land, but the evidence shows that land treatment of crude sewage is liable to give rise to nuisance by the accumulation of solids on the surface of the land.
From time to time it is proposed to dig out the solids and plow them into the land.
Moreover, in some cases these solids are apt to form an impervious layer, which interferes with the aeration of the soil, and so impairs the efficiency of the treatment.
In separating the solids from the liquids, by the action of rennet, at the proper temperature, we expel, say 83.
If whey is used, it should be boiled to kill taints and precipitate, as far as possible, the solids remaining in it.

The relation between voids and solidsin any style of architecture is one of the most vital characteristics.
They are colourless crystalline solids which turn brown on exposure.
But it is more analogous to other animal phenomena to suppose that the lunar gravitation immediately affects the solids by its influx or stimulus.
Water must be considered as a part of our nutriment, because so much of it enters the composition of our solids as well as of our fluids; and because vegetables are now believed to draw almost the whole of their nourishment from this source.
A schirrus of the throat contracts the passage so as to render the swallowing of solids impracticable, and of liquids difficult.
That the clear filtrate injected to excess killed by virtue of its contained chemical products in twelve hours, while the solids filtered out and containing the bacillus or its spores only killed after thirty hours.
Indeed, the total amount of solids does not exceed 2 per cent.
The obvious cause is, just as in the case of typhoid fever, the existence of numerous and serious lesions of the solids and the tendency to many troublesome complications and sequelæ.
But the chances of recovery are lessened, because the hemorrhagic state indicates a degree of spoliation of both the fluids and solids of the system incompatible with maintenance of life.
It may be attended by no change in the secretion except dilution of its solids (diabetes insipidus), as in certain nervous cases or after very large imbibition of fluids.
In other words, the lessening of the solids of the urine frequently takes place prior to the increase of the water.
That filtration of the anthrax liquids through a plaster or other efficient filter renders the filtrate innocuous, while the solids retained in the filter remain infecting (Chauveau, Bert, Toussaint).
It may well be that scrofula is still to be regarded as that condition of the solids and liquids of the body which offers favorable opportunities for the retention and growth of the bacilli, and thus for the production of tuberculosis.
The matter of communicability of malaria by means of drinking water should not be dismissed without some allusion to the great probability that other fluids or solids are open to a similar charge.
It does not appear to me that we are justified in assuming that such attacks as I refer to are to be ascribed to secondary changes produced in either the fluids or solids of the system by the malarial poison.
When the organic solids were burned, they had a strong odour, and gave off a smoky flame, thereby showing that the urine contained a considerable quantity of fatty resin.
In the progress of starvation, however, it is not only the fat which disappears, but also, by degrees all such of the solids as are capable of being dissolved.
Moreover, the three solids S, D and W will differ in minute structure and therefore, probably, in mechanical properties.
When the percentage of ``solids not fat'' is less than 8.
Simply because the protoplasm of their tissues, based on water, would instantly become solid, and in solids as I have said, there can be no real life except perhaps in the form of suspended animation.
As a class, the metallic bromides are solids at ordinary temperatures, which fuse readily and volatilize on heating.
Sonicated and cooked bacteria, when fed to white rats as 12 percent of the solids of a nutritionally balanced diet, were eaten readily and produced no ill effects.
How do we know that the interception of radiant heat by liquids and solids may not be due to an arrangement and comparative rigidity of their parts, which gases do not at all share?
Ice is the most opaque of transparentsolids to radiant heat, as water is the most opaque of liquids.
I therefore endeavoured to fill the gap, and to do for gases and vapours what had been already so ably done for liquids and solids by Melloni.
In both liquids and solids we have the molecules closely packed, and more or less chained by the force of cohesion; in gases, on the contrary, they are perfectly free, and widely separated.
Geometry treats of plane figures; Astronomy treats of solids in motion, that is, of spheres in motion; for the astronomy of Plato's time was mainly the doctrine of the sphere.
Such aspirations point equally to the five regular solids which Kepler imagined as determining the planetary orbits, and to the Laws of Kepler in which Newton detected the effect of universal gravitation.
But before treating ofsolids in motion, we must have a science which treats of solids simply.
And in like manner it led Kepler into error when it led him to believe that he had found the reason of the number, size and motion of the planetary orbits in the application of the five regular solids to the frame of the universe[7].
This application of the doctrine of the Regular Solids shows that the knowledge of those figures was already established; and that Plato had a right to speak of Solid Geometry as a real and interesting Science.
The doctrine of these Solids was already applied in a way, fanciful and arbitrary, no doubt, but ingenious and lively, to the theory of the Universe.
Now, the parts by which a higher solid comes into our space are solids, and what we have to form is a set of solids coming and going in a systematic way, as the higher figure is moved about in a systematic way.
We think of a plane habitually as having an upper and a lower side, because it is only by the contact of solids that we realize a plane.
In the latter case a menstruum with considerable body, such as molasses or flaxseed tea or milk, will help to hold solids or oils in suspension until swallowed.
The second table following, condensed from the Iowa Agricultural Experiment Station Bulletin, gives the results in butter and total solids when the same cows were fed on different rations in succession.
Water that contains 20 or 30 grains of carbonate or sulphate of lime to the gallon must contribute a large addition of solids to the blood and urine as compared with soft waters from which lime is absent.
Once more, when the cow is in heat the milk becomes richer in solids (casein and butter), and contains granular and white blood cells like the colostrum, and often disagrees with the young animal living on it.
This water is extracted through the same channel when it has been charged with the suspended solids by manipulations of the bladder with the oiled hand introduced through the rectum.
Here we see in every instance a marked relative increase of the butter, and to a less extent of the other milk solids whenever the sugar meal--rich in fat and albuminoids--was furnished.
Webster's definition of tumefaction is to swell by any fluids or solids being detained abnormally at any place in the body.
Homogeneous solids offer definite resistance to compression, twisting, stretching, and bending, and this resistance is expressed by a number called a modulus.
A knowledge of the elastic properties of solids is of importance in all branches of applied mechanics.
In geometry, solids can be represented by means of two projections; one on a horizontal plane, and the other on a plane perpendicular to the horizontal.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "solids" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
