During the day-L it is the height at which the buoyant production of turbulence kinetic energy ( TKE ) is equal to that produced by the shearing action of the wind ( shear production of TKE ).

The way they chewed their food was probably similar to that of modern tapirs, with the front teeth being used to crush the food, while the second and third molars have a strong vertical shearing action, with little lateral ( side to side ) movement.

The AFC is placed in front of the powered roof supports, and the shearing action of the rotating drums cutting into the coal seam disintegrates the coal, this being loaded onto the AFC . The coal is removed from the coal face by a scraper chain conveyor to the main gate.

The 238 U remaining after enrichment is known as depleted uranium ( DU ), and is considerably less radioactive than even natural uranium, though still very dense and extremely hazardous in granulated form such granules are a natural by-product of the shearing action that makes it useful for penetrating weapons and radiation shielding.

However, Zofia Kielan-Jaworowska and other researchers have latter found that the triconodont molars of eutriconodonts were more suited for a carnassial-like shearing action than the piercing and gripping function of piscivorous mammal molars, occluding instead of interlocking, and that " Astroconodon "'s aquatic occurrences may be of little significance when most terrestrial tetrapod fossils are found in lacustrine environments anyway.
