  2. Caster angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caster_angle

    Front suspension of a race car ‍ — the caster angle is formed by the line between upper and lower ball joint An example of a chopper with a raked fork at an extreme caster angle. The caster angle [1] or castor angle [2] is the angular displacement of the steering axis from the vertical axis of a steered wheel in a car, motorcycle, bicycle ...

  4. Gravitaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitaxis

    The movement is characteristically directional. The movement may be positive or negative. A positive taxis is one in which the organism or a cell gravitates towards the source of stimulation (attraction). A negative taxis is when the organism or a cell moves away from the source of stimulation (repulsion).

  5. Biological applications of bifurcation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_applications_of...

    Despite the great potential complexity and diversity of biological networks, all first-order network behavior generalizes to one of four possible input-output motifs: hyperbolic or Michaelis–Menten, ultra-sensitive, bistable, and bistable irreversible (a bistability where negative and therefore biologically impossible input is needed to return from a state of high output).

  6. Wheel alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_alignment

    Camber is the angle which the vertical axis of the wheel makes with the vertical axis of the vehicle. This angle is very important for the cornering performance of the vehicles. Generally, a Camber around 0.5-2 degrees is given on the vehicles. Depending upon wheel orientation, Camber can be of three types. 1. Positive Camber

  7. Rheotaxis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheotaxis

    (Positive) Rheotaxis is a form of taxis seen in many aquatic organisms, [1] e.g., fish, whereby they will (generally) turn to face into an oncoming current. In a flowing stream , this behavior leads them to hold their position rather than being swept downstream by the current.

  8. Ramachandran plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramachandran_plot

    In biochemistry, a Ramachandran plot (also known as a Rama plot, a Ramachandran diagram or a [φ,ψ] plot), originally developed in 1963 by G. N. Ramachandran, C. Ramakrishnan, and V. Sasisekharan, [1] is a way to visualize energetically allowed regions for backbone dihedral angles ( also called as torsional angles , phi and psi angles ) ψ ...

  9. Toe (automotive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toe_(automotive)

    This can be contrasted with steer, which is the antisymmetric angle, i.e. both wheels point to the left or right, in parallel (roughly). Negative toe, or toe out, is the front of the wheel pointing away from the centreline of the vehicle. Positive toe, or toe in, is the front of the wheel pointing towards the centreline of the vehicle. [2]
