  2. Pocket neighborhood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket_neighborhood

    A planned pocket neighborhood on 3.7 acres (15,000 m 2) in Beloit, Wisconsin was designed to include geothermal heating and cooling and is a sustainable development that will use a common road at the back of the homes, geothermal energy, and a community tea garden, while limiting the need to remove existing oak trees on the property.

  3. Roseto effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roseto_effect

    The Roseto effect is the phenomenon by which a close-knit community experiences a reduced rate of heart disease. The effect is named for Roseto, Pennsylvania.The Roseto effect was first noticed in 1961 when the local Roseto doctor encountered Stewart Wolf, then head of Medicine of the University of Oklahoma, and they discussed, over a couple of beers, the unusually low rate of myocardial ...

  4. Line–line intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineline_intersection

    Two intersecting lines. In Euclidean geometry, the intersection of a line and a line can be the empty set, a point, or another line.Distinguishing these cases and finding the intersection have uses, for example, in computer graphics, motion planning, and collision detection.

  5. Social network (sociolinguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Network...

    In the field of sociolinguistics, social network describes the structure of a particular speech community.Social networks are composed of a "web of ties" (Lesley Milroy) between individuals, and the structure of a network will vary depending on the types of connections it is composed of.

  6. Closed community - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_community

    Closed communities may be of a religious, ethnic, or political nature. Governance of closed societies varies. Typically, members of closed communities are either born into the community or are accepted into it. The opposite of a closed community is an open community, which maintains social relations with external communities. [1] [2]

  7. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    Creating the one point or two points in the intersection of two circles (if they intersect). For example, starting with just two distinct points, we can create a line or either of two circles (in turn, using each point as centre and passing through the other point). If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections.

  8. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  9. Arrangement of lines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrangement_of_lines

    These are the connected components of the points that would remain after removing all points on lines. [1] The edges or panels of the arrangement are one-dimensional regions belonging to a single line. They are the open line segments and open infinite rays into which each line is partitioned by its crossing points with the other lines.
