  2. Hand geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_geometry

    Hand geometry is a biometric that identifies users from the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user's palm and fingers along many dimensions including length, width, deviation, and angle and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file.

    36 represented in chisanbop, where four fingers and a thumb are touching the table and the rest of the digits are raised. The three fingers on the left hand represent 10+10+10 = 30; the thumb and one finger on the right hand represent 5+1=6. Counting from 1 to 20 in Chisanbop. Each finger has a value of one, while the thumb has a value of five.

  5. Finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger

    The English word finger stems from Old English finger, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *fingraz ('finger'). It is cognate with Gothic figgrs, Old Norse fingr, or Old High German fingar.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_numbering

    The first finger is an ambiguous term in the English language due to two competing finger numbering systems that can be used. It might refer to either the thumb or the index finger, depending on the context. The second finger is another ambiguous term in English. It might refer to either the index finger or the middle finger, also dependent on ...

  7. Saffman–Taylor instability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saffman–Taylor_instability

    A demonstration of the Saffman-Taylor instability is such when a viscous substance, such as PVA glue, is placed on a flat surface (Top), another parallel surface is placed on top and the glue spreads out (Middle), and the surfaces are lifted, air, a less viscous fluid, attempts to invade the space where the glue is located.The interface between ...

    In medicine and related disciplines (anatomy, radiology, etc.) the fingerbreadth (literally the width of a finger) is an informal but widely used unit of measure. [3] [4] In the measurement of distilled spirits, a finger of whiskey refers to the amount of whiskey that would fill a glass to the level of one finger wrapped around the glass at the ...

  9. Zinc finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_finger

    Zinc fingers were first identified in a study of transcription in the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis in the laboratory of Aaron Klug.A study of the transcription of a particular RNA sequence revealed that the binding strength of a small transcription factor (transcription factor IIIA; TFIIIA) was due to the presence of zinc-coordinating finger-like structures.
