  2. Polarity (international relations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_(international...

    The closer to 1, the more concentrated power is. There is a general but not strict correlation between concentration and polarity. It is rare to find a result over 0.5, but a result between 0.4 and 0.5 usually indicates a unipolar system, while a result between 0.2 and 0.4 usually indicated a bipolar or multipolar system.

  3. Hegemonic stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemonic_stability_theory

    To the mainstream International Relations (IR below), the unipolar world came as a surprise. Realists, shaped by “two World Wars and the Cold War, understood the differing logics of multipolar and bipolar systems, but apparently failed to envision a unipolar world because none of their works before the end of the Cold War accounts for it.” [40]

  4. Neorealism (international relations) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neorealism_(international...

    A unipolar system contains only one great power, a bipolar system contains two great powers, and a multipolar system contains more than two great powers. Neorealists conclude that a bipolar system is more stable (less prone to great power war and systemic change) than a multipolar system because balancing can only occur through internal ...

  5. Dendrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dendrite

    The general structure of the dendrite is used to classify neurons into multipolar, bipolar and unipolar types. Multipolar neurons are composed of one axon and many dendritic trees. Pyramidal cells are multipolar cortical neurons with pyramid-shaped cell bodies and large dendrites that extend towards the surface of the cortex (apical dendrite ...

  6. Multipolar exchange interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipolar_exchange...

    Examples of dipole-dipole and quadrupole-quadrupole exchange interactions in J=1 case. Blue arrow means the transition comes with a phase shift. [21] There are four major mechanisms to induce exchange interactions between two magnetic moments in a system: [20] 1). Direct exchange 2). RKKY 3). Superexchange 4). Spin-Lattice.

  7. Unipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipolar_neuron

    In multipolar neurons, multiple processes extend from the cell body including dendrites and axons. Some neurons in the vertebrate brain have a unipolar morphology: a notable example is the unipolar brush cell, found in the cerebellum and granule region of the dorsal cochlear nucleus. A third morphological class, bipolar neurons, extend just one ...

  8. Afferent nerve fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afferent_nerve_fiber

    In the nervous system, there is a "closed loop" system of sensation, decision, and reactions. This process is carried out through the activity of sensory neurons, interneurons , and motor neurons . A touch or painful stimulus, for example, creates a sensation in the brain only after information about the stimulus travels there via afferent ...

  9. Sensory neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuron

    Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are neurons in the nervous system, that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded receptor potentials. [1] This process is called sensory transduction. The cell bodies of the sensory neurons are located in the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord ...
