Possible definitions for reckli
buckling
Mode of failure under compression of a structural component that is thin (see shell structure) or much longer than wide (e.g., post, column, leg bone). L. Euler first worked out in 1757 the theory of why such members buckle. The definition by T. Young of the elastic modulus significantly propelled building construction science forward. The elastic theory formed the basis of structural analysis until World War II, when the behavior of bomb-damaged buildings forced the modification of some of the theory's underlying assumptions. See also post-and-lintel system.
rockfish
Name applied to species in the scorpion-fish family (Scorpaenidae), incl. the lionfish, redfish, and zebra fish. In N. America the name is also applied to the eastern mudminnow (Umbra pygmaea, family Umbridae), one of several hardy fishes of cool, mud-bottomed ponds, lakes, and streams. Eastern mudminnows frequently bury themselves, tail first, in the mud. They are often used as bait.
suckling
In mammals, the drawing of milk into the mouth from the nipple of a mammary gland. In human beings, it is referred to as nursing or breast-feeding. The word also denotes an animal that has not yet been weaned--that is, whose access to milk has not yet been withdrawn, a process that gradually accustoms the young to accept an adult diet.
