  2. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

  3. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    Then they showed them a picture of a "1" rotated and its mirror image. It appears that gendered differences may appear early in development, as the study showed that males are more responsive to the mirror image. According to the study, this may mean that males and females process mental rotation differently even as infants. [15]

  4. Barberpole illusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barberpole_illusion

    In this example the motion of the grating is identical to that in example 1, but the aperture is isotropic.. This illusion occurs because a bar or contour within a frame of reference provides ambiguous information about its "real" direction of movement.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    A curve is called a general helix or cylindrical helix [4] if its tangent makes a constant angle with a fixed line in space. A curve is a general helix if and only if the ratio of curvature to torsion is constant. [5] A curve is called a slant helix if its principal normal makes a constant angle with a fixed line in space. [6]

  7. Psychophysical parallelism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychophysical_parallelism

    Psychophysical parallelism can be compared to epiphenomenalism due to the fact that they are both non-fundamentalist methods to link mind and body causality. Psychophysical parallelism is the ideology that the mind and the body hold no interaction between them, but that they are synchronized.

  8. Geometrical-optical illusions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical-optical_illusions

    The widely accepted interpretation of, e.g. the Poggendorff and Hering illusions as manifestation of expansion of acute angles at line intersections, is an example of successful implementation of a "bottom-up," physiological explanation of a geometrical–optical illusion. Ponzo illusion in a purely schematic form and, below, with perspective clues

  9. Spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral

    A conical or volute spring (including the spring used to hold and make contact with the negative terminals of AA or AAA batteries in a battery box), and the vortex that is created when water is draining in a sink is often described as a spiral, or as a conical helix. Quite explicitly, definition 2 also includes a cylindrical coil spring and a ...
