Viscous stress tensorThe viscous stress tensor is a tensor used in continuum mechanics to model the part of the stress at a point within some material that can be attributed to the strain rate, the rate at which it is deforming around that point. The viscous stress tensor is formally similar to the elastic stress tensor (Cauchy tensor) that describes internal forces in an elastic material due to its deformation. Both tensors map the normal vector of a surface element to the density and direction of the stress acting on that surface element.
Folding@homeFolding@home, parfois désigné par l'abréviation FAH, est un projet de recherche médicale dont le but est de simuler le repliement des protéines dans diverses configurations de température et de pression afin de mieux comprendre ce processus, et d'en tirer des connaissances utiles qui pourraient, entre autres, permettre de développer de nouveaux médicaments, notamment contre la maladie d'Alzheimer, la drépanocytose, certains types de cancers et la maladie à coronavirus 2019.
SchistSchist ('ʃɪst ) is a medium-grained metamorphic rock showing pronounced schistosity. This means that the rock is composed of mineral grains easily seen with a low-power hand lens, oriented in such a way that the rock is easily split into thin flakes or plates. This texture reflects a high content of platy minerals, such as micas, talc, chlorite, or graphite. These are often interleaved with more granular minerals, such as feldspar or quartz.
Orbifold notationIn geometry, orbifold notation (or orbifold signature) is a system, invented by the mathematician William Thurston and promoted by John Conway, for representing types of symmetry groups in two-dimensional spaces of constant curvature. The advantage of the notation is that it describes these groups in a way which indicates many of the groups' properties: in particular, it follows William Thurston in describing the orbifold obtained by taking the quotient of Euclidean space by the group under consideration.
SpodumèneLe spodumène est un minéral de la classe des silicates (sous-classe des inosilicates, famille des pyroxènes). De composition idéale , il comporte généralement des traces de Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, Na, K et . Première description par le minéralogiste José Bonifácio de Andrada e Silva en 1800. Dénomination empruntée au grec . Mine de fer d'Utö (île d'Utö au sud de Stockholm, commune de Haninge, Södermanland, Suède).
Uniform k 21 polytopeDISPLAYTITLE:Uniform k 21 polytope In geometry, a uniform k21 polytope is a polytope in k + 4 dimensions constructed from the En Coxeter group, and having only regular polytope facets. The family was named by their Coxeter symbol k21 by its bifurcating Coxeter–Dynkin diagram, with a single ring on the end of the k-node sequence. Thorold Gosset discovered this family as a part of his 1900 enumeration of the regular and semiregular polytopes, and so they are sometimes called Gosset's semiregular figures.
Géométrie des transformationsEn mathématiques, la géométrie des transformations correspond à l'étude géométrique centrée sur les groupes de transformations géométriques et à leurs propriétés, indépendamment des figures, considérées invariantes. Elle s'oppose de façon claire à la géométrie euclidienne, qui se concentre sur la construction géométrique. Par exemple, dans la géométrie des transformations, les propriétés d'un triangle isocèle sont déduites des symétries internes autour des droites géométriques particulières (hauteurs, bissectrices, médiatrices).
Energy driftIn computer simulations of mechanical systems, energy drift is the gradual change in the total energy of a closed system over time. According to the laws of mechanics, the energy should be a constant of motion and should not change. However, in simulations the energy might fluctuate on a short time scale and increase or decrease on a very long time scale due to numerical integration artifacts that arise with the use of a finite time step Δt.
