  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

  3. Shear mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_mapping

    Vertical lines, in particular, become oblique lines with slope. Therefore, the shear factor m is the cotangent of the shear angle between the former verticals and the x-axis. (In the example on the right the square is tilted by 30°, so the shear angle is 60°.)

  4. Transformation (function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformation_(function)

    In mathematics, a transformation, transform, or self-map [1] is a function f, usually with some geometrical underpinning, that maps a set X to itself, i.e. f: X → X. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Examples include linear transformations of vector spaces and geometric transformations , which include projective transformations , affine transformations , and ...

  5. Comb sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comb_sort

    The shrink factor has a great effect on the efficiency of comb sort. Dobosiewicz suggested k = 4/3 = 1.333…, while Lacey and Box suggest 1.3 as an ideal shrink factor after empirical testing on over 200,000 random lists of length approximately 1000. A value too small slows the algorithm down by making unnecessarily many comparisons, whereas a ...

  6. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension_values

    [1] There are two primary mechanisms in play. One is an inward force on the surface molecules causing the liquid to contract. [2] [3] Second is a tangential force parallel to the surface of the liquid. [3] This tangential force is generally referred to as the surface tension. The net effect is the liquid behaves as if its surface were covered ...

    Your doctor will suspect osteoporosis if you have an overall height loss of 1.5 inches or more, or a height loss of 0.8 inches or more from your last measurement, Litt says.
