In uniform scaling with a non-zero scale factor, all non-zero vectors retain their direction (as seen from the origin), or all have the direction reversed, depending on the sign of the scaling factor. In non-uniform scaling only the vectors that belong to an eigenspace will retain their direction. A vector that is the sum of two or more non ...
The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets (VTCC) is the military component of the student body at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.Cadets live together in residence halls, attend morning formation, wear a distinctive uniform, and receive an intensive military and leadership educational experience similar to those at the United States service academies.
In statistics, Procrustes analysis is a form of statistical shape analysis used to analyse the distribution of a set of shapes. The name Procrustes ( Greek : Προκρούστης ) refers to a bandit from Greek mythology who made his victims fit his bed either by stretching their limbs or cutting them off.
The general nth order linear differential equation with constant coefficients has the form: + + … + + = = () = (). The function f ( t ) is known as the forcing function . If the differential equation only contains real (not complex) coefficients, then the properties of such a system behaves as a mixture of first and second order systems only.
It is a form of non-linear dimensionality reduction. Given a distance matrix with the distances between each pair of objects in a set, and a chosen number of dimensions, N , an MDS algorithm places each object into N - dimensional space (a lower-dimensional representation) such that the between-object distances are preserved as well as possible.
Virginia Tech led 14–7 at the half, but Virginia came out in the second half firing on all cylinders, and outscored Tech 21–0 by the 14 minute mark in the fourth quarter. Up by seven with only a few minutes left, Virginia pulled off a fake field goal on fourth down to keep possession away from the Hokies.
The Boston College football team takes its 4-2 record into Thursday night's matchup with Atlantic Coast Conference rival Virginia Tech (3-3). Both teams are 1-1 in the ACC and are coming off byes ...
In fluid mechanics, non-dimensionalization of the Navier–Stokes equations is the conversion of the Navier–Stokes equation to a nondimensional form. This technique can ease the analysis of the problem at hand, and reduce the number of free parameters. Small or large sizes of certain dimensionless parameters indicate the importance of certain ...
