  2. Branch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch

    Branches found under larger branches can be called underbranches. Some branches from specific trees have their own names, such as osiers and withes or withies , which come from willows . Often trees have certain words which, in English, are naturally collocated , such as holly and mistletoe , which usually employ the phrase "sprig of" (as in, a ...

  3. Branch point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_point

    For example, the function w = z 1/2 has two branches: one where the square root comes in with a plus sign, and the other with a minus sign. A branch cut is a curve in the complex plane such that it is possible to define a single analytic branch of a multi-valued function on the plane minus that curve. Branch cuts are usually, but not always ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_academic_fields

    An academic discipline or field of study is known as a branch of knowledge. It is taught as an accredited part of higher education . A scholar's discipline is commonly defined and recognized by a university faculty.

  5. Principal branch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_branch

    A more familiar principal branch function, limited to real numbers, is that of a positive real number raised to the power of 1/2. For example, take the relation y = x 1/2, where x is any positive real number. This relation can be satisfied by any value of y equal to a square root of x (either positive or negative).

  6. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branches_of_physics

    There are many branches of classical mechanics, such as: statics, dynamics, kinematics, continuum mechanics (which includes fluid mechanics), statistical mechanics, etc. Mechanics: A branch of physics in which we study the object and properties of an object in form of a motion under the action of the force.

  7. Branch predictor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_predictor

    When a next-line predictor points to aligned groups of 2, 4, or 8 instructions, the branch target will usually not be the first instruction fetched, and so the initial instructions fetched are wasted. Assuming for simplicity, a uniform distribution of branch targets, 0.5, 1.5, and 3.5 instructions fetched are discarded, respectively.

  8. Rotational–vibrational spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational–vibrational...

    Rotational–vibrational spectroscopy is a branch of molecular spectroscopy that is concerned with infrared and Raman spectra of molecules in the gas phase.Transitions involving changes in both vibrational and rotational states can be abbreviated as rovibrational (or ro-vibrational) transitions.

  9. Axillary artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axillary_artery

    [3] The origin of these branches is highly variable (e.g. the posterior and anterior circumflex arteries often have a common trunk). An arterial branch is named for its course, not its origin. First part (1 branch) Superior thoracic artery (Supreme thoracic artery) [2] Second part (2 branches) Thoraco-acromial artery [2] Lateral thoracic artery ...
