### surface | screen:

Computer screen
* Every computer screen depicts colors differently.
* are also great ways to view photographs
  - harder to read for sustained periods of time
  - made of a raster of points
  - smaller, grainier, and shaped differently than paper pages
  - very hard to see in direct sunlight
  - visual, aural browsers are aural, and Braille printers are tactile
* cause eye strain.
* have less resolution than paper and require more effort to read
  - limited ability to create images
  - much lower spatial and temporal resolution than real images
  - very small pixels, like little dots, used to paint images and text
+ Raster graphics: Computer graphics
  * With raster graphics, images are modeled as big collections of pixels. Usually they form an image shaped like a rectangle. Each pixel holds something, like color or transparency. Raster images are used very often. Computer screens are made of a raster of points. Vector graphic images are rasterised that way. Images that are difficult to make as a vector, like photographs, are often made in the form of a raster image.

Lenticular screen
* have thin ridges in the viewing surface.
* lens system consisting of a screen containing a number of small lenses.

Shutter
* Some shutters help insulate windows when it is cold outside.
* are blinds
  - mechanical devices
  - movable wooden or metal coverings that, when closed, keep sunlight out
  - part of cameras
* control the amount of light by the length of time they remain open to expose the film.
* help delaying the wind speeds at which the internal pressures reaches that critical point.
* provide a solid wall of protection on the outside of any door or window.

Television screen
* bring pictures from all parts of the globe into homes.
* display pictures
  - the same picture in the same way on all television screens
* generate a lot of static electricity, which attracts dust.
* grow in size while multiplex theater screens shrink.

Shiny surface
* act like mirrors.
* reflect light in a way that can be confusing to the eye
  - lots of light

### surface:

Smooth surface
* All smooth surfaces possess some degree of microroughness, even if only at the atomic level.
* Most smooth surfaces are made of plastic.
* are areas that reflect light
  - easy to clean and less likely to trap allergens
  - often easier to glide across when working
  - reflective
* entrain lots of air to assure maximum dilution of exhaust gases.
* facilitate decontamination and minimize the accumulation of dirt or debris.
* is typical of a benign neoplasm.
* make a color appear lighter, and a rough surfaces make a color appear darker
  - less friction than rough surfaces
* tend to have high reflectance, rougher surfaces less reflectance.

Solid surface
* are easier to clean than carpet and they keep vacuuming to a minimum.
* means that the product is solid in color throughout the entire product.

Subdivision surface
* allow the modeling of surfaces with arbitrary topological type.
* are a way to describe a surface using a polygonal model.

Surface hoar
* develops mostly in the evenings when saturated air condenses on the snow surface.
* grows most often when the wind is calm or light on cold relatively clear nights.
* is another type of faceted crystal that forms a well recognized weak layer.

Tabletop
* are hills with flat tops
  - part of tables
* includes sections.

### surgeons:

General surgeon
* Many general surgeons perform thoracic procedures.
* are surgeons.
* manage surgical conditions affecting all areas of the body.
* perform a variety of operations on almost all parts of the body
  - hernia operations
* provide a vital component of basic health services
  - surgical care for adult and pediatric patients
* work closely with plastic surgeons to ensure both quality and quantity of life.
