Admittance parametersAdmittance parameters or Y-parameters (the elements of an admittance matrix or Y-matrix) are properties used in many areas of electrical engineering, such as power, electronics, and telecommunications. These parameters are used to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. Y parameters are also known as short circuited admittance parameters.
GPS signalsGPS signals are broadcast by Global Positioning System satellites to enable satellite navigation. Receivers on or near the Earth's surface can determine location, time, and velocity using this information. The GPS satellite constellation is operated by the 2nd Space Operations Squadron (2SOPS) of Space Delta 8, United States Space Force. GPS signals include ranging signals, used to measure the distance to the satellite, and navigation messages.
SynapomorphieEn phylogénétique, un caractère synapomorphique, ou synapomorphie, est un caractère dérivé (ou apomorphique), partagé par deux ou plusieurs taxons-frères. Le partage par au moins deux taxons certifie que la dérive du caractère n'est pas simplement contingente, mais est persistante et caractéristique de nouvelles espèces viables. Une synapomorphie détermine ainsi un groupe monophylétique strict, ou clade, seul type de groupe reconnu par le cladisme.
Empirical formulaIn chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound. A simple example of this concept is that the empirical formula of sulfur monoxide, or SO, would simply be SO, as is the empirical formula of disulfur dioxide, S2O2. Thus, sulfur monoxide and disulfur dioxide, both compounds of sulfur and oxygen, have the same empirical formula. However, their molecular formulas, which express the number of atoms in each molecule of a chemical compound, are not the same.
Carbone amorphethumb|Représentation moléculaire d'un fragment de carbone amorphe. Le carbone amorphe est une forme allotropique du carbone qui, amorphe, ne possède pas de structure cristalline (contrairement au graphite et au diamant). En minéralogie, on emploie le terme pour désigner du charbon, des suies ou d'autres formes de carbone qui ne sont ni du diamant, ni du graphite, mais du point de vue cristallographique ces formes de carbone sont des polycristaux au sein d'une matrice amorphe et ne sont pas entièrement amorphes.
Primary somatosensory cortexIn neuroanatomy, the primary somatosensory cortex is located in the postcentral gyrus of the brain's parietal lobe, and is part of the somatosensory system. It was initially defined from surface stimulation studies of Wilder Penfield, and parallel surface potential studies of Bard, Woolsey, and Marshall. Although initially defined to be roughly the same as Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2, more recent work by Kaas has suggested that for homogeny with other sensory fields only area 3 should be referred to as "primary somatosensory cortex", as it receives the bulk of the thalamocortical projections from the sensory input fields.
AstaxanthineL'astaxanthine (dihydroxy-3,3 ́ dioxo-4,4 ́ β-carotène) est un pigment de la famille des xanthophylles (caroténoïdes), se présentant sous la forme d'un solide violacé de masse moléculaire . Présente naturellement dans certains crustacés, elle est utilisée comme colorant alimentaire. L'astaxanthine commerciale est extraite des sources suivantes (liste non exhaustive) : Euphausia pacifica (Krill pacifique); Euphausia superba (Krill antarctique); Haematococcus pluvialis (Microalgue); Pandalus borealis (Crevette arctique); Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous, anciennement Phaffia rhodozyma (levure).
Iterative reconstructionIterative reconstruction refers to iterative algorithms used to reconstruct 2D and 3D images in certain imaging techniques. For example, in computed tomography an image must be reconstructed from projections of an object. Here, iterative reconstruction techniques are usually a better, but computationally more expensive alternative to the common filtered back projection (FBP) method, which directly calculates the image in a single reconstruction step.
Impedance parametersImpedance parameters or Z-parameters (the elements of an impedance matrix or Z-matrix) are properties used in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and communication systems engineering to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. They are members of a family of similar parameters used in electronic engineering, other examples being: S-parameters, Y-parameters, H-parameters, T-parameters or ABCD-parameters.
Symmetry operationIn group theory, geometry, representation theory and molecular geometry, a symmetry operation is a geometric transformation of an object that leaves the object looking the same after it has been carried out. For example, as transformations of an object in space, rotations, reflections and inversions are all symmetry operations. Such symmetry operations are performed with respect to symmetry elements (for example, a point, line or plane).
