  2. Spin (propaganda) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(propaganda)

    Spin may include "burying" potentially negative new information by releasing it at the end of the workday on the last day before a long weekend; selectively cherry-picking quotes from previous speeches made by their employer or an opposing politician to give the impression that they advocate a certain position; or purposely leaking ...

  3. Spin (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(physics)

    The conventional definition of the spin quantum number is s = ⁠ n / 2 ⁠, where n can be any non-negative integer. Hence the allowed values of s are 0, ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠, 1, ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, 2, etc. The value of s for an elementary particle depends only on the type of particle and cannot be altered in any known way (in contrast to the spin ...

  4. Spin quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_quantum_number

    The component of the spin along a specified axis is given by the spin magnetic quantum number, conventionally written m s. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The value of m s is the component of spin angular momentum, in units of the reduced Planck constant ħ , parallel to a given direction (conventionally labelled the z –axis).

  5. Affirmation and negation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmation_and_negation

    In linguistics and grammar, affirmation (abbreviated AFF) and negation (NEG) are ways in which grammar encodes positive and negative polarity into verb phrases, clauses, or utterances. An affirmative (positive) form is used to express the validity or truth of a basic assertion, while a negative form expresses its falsity.

  6. Helicity (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicity_(particle_physics)

    Thus, helicity is just the projection of the spin onto the direction of linear momentum. The helicity of a particle is positive (" right-handed") if the direction of its spin is the same as the direction of its motion and negative ("left-handed") if opposite. Helicity is conserved. [1]

  7. Spin (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics)

    Even though this method does work in a specific subset of spin-approved airplanes, the NASA Standard/PARE procedure can also be effective provided that care must be taken to ensure the spin does not simply cross from positive to negative (or vice versa) and that a too-rapid application of elevator control is avoided as it may cause aerodynamic ...

  8. Chirality (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(physics)

    So a standard clock, with its spin vector defined by the rotation of its hands, has left-handed helicity if tossed with its face directed forwards. Mathematically, helicity is the sign of the projection of the spin vector onto the momentum vector: "left" is negative, "right" is positive.

  9. Antisymmetric exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisymmetric_exchange

    In the α-Cr 2 O 3 structure, the spins of the first and third metal ion are positive while the second and fourth are negative. Both compounds are antiferromagnetic at cold temperatures (<250K), however α -Fe 2 O 3 above this temperature undergoes a structural change where its total spin vector no longer points along the crystal axis but at a ...
