  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    The scaling is uniform if and only if the scaling factors are equal (v x = v y = v z). If all except one of the scale factors are equal to 1, we have directional scaling. In the case where v x = v y = v z = k, scaling increases the area of any surface by a factor of k 2 and the volume of any solid object by a factor of k 3.

  3. Curve-shortening flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curve-shortening_flow

    A flow is a process in which the points of a space continuously change their locations or properties over time. More specifically, in a one-dimensional geometric flow such as the curve-shortening flow, the points undergoing the flow belong to a curve, and what changes is the shape of the curve, its embedding into the Euclidean plane determined by the locations of each of its points.

  4. Binary angular measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_angular_measurement

    The number can also be interpreted as a fraction of a full turn between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) represented in binary fixed-point format with a scaling factor of 1/2 n. Multiplying that fraction by 360° or 2π gives the angle in degrees in the range 0 to 360, or in radians, in the range 0 to 2π, respectively.

  5. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    If S is an n × n shear matrix, then: S has rank n and therefore is invertible; 1 is the only eigenvalue of S, so det S = 1 and tr S = n; the eigenspace of S (associated with the eigenvalue 1) has n1 dimensions. S is defective; S is asymmetric; S may be made into a block matrix by at most 1 column interchange and 1 row interchange operation

  6. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    For common tape measurements, the tape used is a steel tape with coefficient of thermal expansion C equal to 0.000,011,6 units per unit length per degree Celsius change. This means that the tape changes length by 1.16 mm per 10 m tape per 10 °C change from the standard temperature of the tape.

  7. 2 nm process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_nm_process

    In semiconductor manufacturing, the 2 nm process is the next MOSFET (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor) die shrink after the 3 nm process node.. The term "2 nanometer", or alternatively "20 angstrom" (a term used by Intel), has no relation to any actual physical feature (such as gate length, metal pitch or gate pitch) of the transistors.

  8. Why do you shrink when you get older? Experts explain

    Overall, you can lose between 1 to 3 inches in height as you age, per Medline Plus. While age-related height loss is normal, there are times when it's a sign of an underlying health condition.

  9. Hazen–Williams equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazen–Williams_equation

    A result of adjusting the exponents is that the value of C appears more like a constant over a wide range of the other parameters. [8] The conversion factor k was chosen so that the values for C were the same as in the Chézy formula for the typical hydraulic slope of S=0.001. [9] The value of k is 0.001 −0.04. [10]
