The long section through the BZ (Figure 3, looking towards the northwest) shows that within the mineralised zone the highest grade mineralisation (as grams x metres) is pipelike and centred on hole 183SD13.

Recently, Fetecau [8] has established exact solutions for some unidirectional flows of the same fluids in unbounded domains which geometrically are axi-symmetric pipelike.

Close inspection reveals that this unearthly head carries beneath it two shapeless arms and grotesquely spindly legs; phallic, pipelike eyes protrude invasively while sagging ears extend about a foot in length.

Complementing this exhibition of six sculptures (from 1953-1960) are photographs (also by Smith) in which the artist staged his metalwork made from industrial scraps and flat plates cut in idiosyncratic shapes and pipelike concave and convex forms in the landscape near his studio at Lake George, N.Y.

Meanwhile, water laden with sugars and other products of photosynthesis flows downward from leaves to the branches, trunk and roots through pipelike cells in the phloem, or inner bark.

Three years earlier, Ampere (see 1820) had shown that a wire helix (or solenoid, from a Greek word meaning "pipelike," because such a helix looks like a pipe with its walls made of turns of wire) acts like a bar magnet when electricity flows through the wires.

The results of the Alvin magnetic survey show the presence of a narrow, pipelike body of demagnetized crust directly beneath the mound, inferred to reflect the upflow zone that channels the hydrothermal fluids to the surface there.
