REM got thirty, in deference to the incompressibility of the dream state. From Wordnik.com. [Starfish] Reference
In water pressure machines loss does not occur from these causes, on account of the incompressibility of the liquid, but the frictions of the parts are the principal causes of loss of power. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American Supplement, No. 275, April 9, 1881] Reference
The property of being incompressible or at least being extremely difficult to compress since absolute incompressibility is difficult to extablish, does not in and of itself say anything of its intelligent or un intelligent origin. From Wordnik.com. [Disinformation Theory - The Panda's Thumb] Reference
But now, with the view of ultimately discarding the postulate of rigidity from all our materials, let us suppose some to be absolutely destitute of rigidity, and to possess merely inertia and incompressibility, and mutual impenetrability with reference to the still remaining rigid matter. From Wordnik.com. [Scientific American Supplement, No. 460, October 25, 1884] Reference
Second, from my reading I can see that the imposition of incompressibility constrains is 'a piece of art 'in SPH. From Wordnik.com. [iMechanica - Comments] Reference
Based on the assumption of muscle volume incompressibility, blue represents tissue contraction and red relaxation. From Wordnik.com. [BioMed Central - Latest articles] Reference
Heat, light, magnetism, electricity, projectiles, digestion, and the incompressibility of water were studied by the right method and with results that enriched the world. From Wordnik.com. [A History of the warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom] Reference
These properties of the ether, incompressibility and elastic rigidity, are quite conceivable by themselves; but difficulties of thought appear when we reflect upon another quality which the ether clearly must possess -- namely, frictionlessness. From Wordnik.com. [A History of Science: in Five Volumes. Volume III: Modern development of the physical sciences] Reference
The incompressibility of water, as illustrated by the famous Florentine experiment, is a measure of its elasticity; and to the possession of this property, in so high a degree, the rapid transmission of a sound-pulse through water is to be ascribed. From Wordnik.com. [Fragments of science, V. 1-2] Reference
But actually, on account of the incompressibility of the nasal cartilages, he has to incline either his or her head to an angle of at least 60 degrees, and the result is that his right eye gazes insanely at the space between her eyebrows, while his left eye is fixed upon some vague spot behind her. From Wordnik.com. [Damn! A Book of Calumny] Reference
The theory that they are sensitive to differences of hydrostatic pressure as the fish moves from one depth to another rests on no foundation, since it has yet to be shown how a change of pressure within the limits of the incompressibility of water can produce a sensation in an organ permeated throughout with water. From Wordnik.com. [Hormones and Heredity] Reference
But water will only expand up to a certain point, while its incompressibility, being a force in a manner negative, is, of necessity, infinite.”. From Wordnik.com. [The Magic Skin] Reference
That a glacier cannot be altogether compared to a river, although there is an unmistakable analogy between the flow of the one and the onward movement of the other, seems to me plain, -- since the river, by the combination of its tributaries, goes on increasing in bulk in consequence of the incompressibility of water, while a glacier gradually thins out in consequence of the packing of its mass, however large and numerous may be its accessions.

Sal, incompressibility of data doesn't mean much. From Wordnik.com. [Aiguy's Computer] Reference
