  2. Modular arithmetic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_arithmetic

    Congruence modulo m is a congruence relation, meaning that it is an equivalence relation that is compatible with the operations of addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Congruence modulo m is denoted a ≡ b (mod m). The parentheses mean that (mod m) applies to the entire equation, not just to the right-hand side (here, b).

    The study of the absorption or release of heat during a chemical reaction. thermodynamic stability. The condition of a system being in its lowest energy state with its environment (equilibrium). thermodynamics. The study of the effects of changing temperature, volume or pressure (or work, heat, and energy) on a macroscopic scale.

  4. Chemical modification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_modification

    In biochemistry. In biochemistry, chemical modification is the technique of anatomically reacting a protein or nucleic acid with a reagent or reagents. Obtaining laboratory information through chemical modification which can be utilized to: identify which parts of a molecule are exposed to a solvent. determine which residues are important for a ...

  5. Bulk modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus

    Bulk modulus. The bulk modulus ( or or ) of a substance is a measure of the resistance of a substance to bulk compression. It is defined as the ratio of the infinitesimal pressure increase to the resulting relative decrease of the volume. [1] Other moduli describe the material's response (strain) to other kinds of stress: the shear modulus ...

  6. Molecular vibration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_vibration

    A molecular vibration is a periodic motion of the atoms of a molecule relative to each other, such that the center of mass of the molecule remains unchanged. The typical vibrational frequencies range from less than 10 13 Hz to approximately 10 14 Hz, corresponding to wavenumbers of approximately 300 to 3000 cm −1 and wavelengths of approximately 30 to 3 μm.

  7. Modulo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modulo

    In computing, the modulo operation returns the remainder or signed remainder of a division, after one number is divided by another, called the modulus of the operation.. Given two positive numbers a and n, a modulo n (often abbreviated as a mod n) is the remainder of the Euclidean division of a by n, where a is the dividend and n is the divisor.

  8. Cyclic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_group

    A cyclic group is a group which is equal to one of its cyclic subgroups: G = g for some element g, called a generator of G. For a finite cyclic group G of order n we have G = {e, g, g2, ... , gn−1}, where e is the identity element and gi = gj whenever i ≡ j (mod n); in particular gn = g0 = e, and g−1 = gn−1.

  9. Absorbance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absorbance

    Absorbance. Absorbance is defined as "the logarithm of the ratio of incident to transmitted radiant power through a sample (excluding the effects on cell walls)". [1] Alternatively, for samples which scatter light, absorbance may be defined as "the negative logarithm of one minus absorptance, as measured on a uniform sample". [2]
