  2. Lorentz factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_factor

    Definition of the Lorentz factor γ. The Lorentz factor or Lorentz term (also known as the gamma factor [1]) is a dimensionless quantity expressing how much the measurements of time, length, and other physical properties change for an object while it moves. The expression appears in several equations in special relativity, and it arises in ...

  3. Robert Plutchik - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Plutchik

    He suggested eight primary bipolar emotions: joy versus sadness; anger versus fear; trust versus disgust; and surprise versus anticipation. Additionally, his circumplex model makes connections between the idea of an emotion circle and a color wheel. Like colors, primary emotions can be expressed at different intensities and can mix with one ...

  4. Lorenz system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_system

    A sample solution in the Lorenz attractor when ρ = 28, σ = 10, and β = ⁠ 8 / 3 ⁠. The Lorenz system is a system of ordinary differential equations first studied by mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz.

  5. Affective science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affective_science

    An increasing interest in emotion can be seen in the behavioral, biological and social sciences. Research over the last two decades suggests that many phenomena, ranging from individual cognitive processing to social and collective behavior, cannot be understood without taking into account affective determinants (i.e. motives, attitudes, moods, and emotions). [1]

  6. Twin paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twin_paradox

    The amount of time as measured on the ship's clocks and the aging of the travelers during their trip will be reduced by the factor = /, the reciprocal of the Lorentz factor (time dilation). In this case α = 0.6 and the travelers will have aged only 0.6 × 10 = 6 years when they return.

  7. Emotion classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_classification

    Emotion classification, the means by which one may distinguish or contrast one emotion from another, is a contested issue in emotion research and in affective science. Researchers have approached the classification of emotions from one of two fundamental viewpoints: [citation needed] that emotions are discrete and fundamentally different constructs

  8. Graph factorization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_factorization

    A k-factor of a graph is a spanning k-regular subgraph, and a k-factorization partitions the edges of the graph into disjoint k-factors. A graph G is said to be k-factorable if it admits a k-factorization. In particular, a 1-factor is a perfect matching, and a 1-factorization of a k-regular graph is a proper edge coloring with k colors.

  9. Butterfly effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect

    A plot of Lorenz' strange attractor for values ρ=28, σ = 10, β = 8/3. The butterfly effect or sensitive dependence on initial conditions is the property of a dynamical system that, starting from any of various arbitrarily close alternative initial conditions on the attractor, the iterated points will become arbitrarily spread out from each other.
