  2. Dual cone and polar cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_cone_and_polar_cone

    A cone C in a vector space X is said to be self-dual if X can be equipped with an inner product ⋅,⋅ such that the internal dual cone relative to this inner product is equal to C. [3] Those authors who define the dual cone as the internal dual cone in a real Hilbert space usually say that a cone is self-dual if it is equal to its internal dual.

  3. Dual polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_polyhedron

    For the polar reciprocals of the regular and uniform polytopes, the dual facets will be polar reciprocals of the original's vertex figure. For example, in four dimensions, the vertex figure of the 600-cell is the icosahedron; the dual of the 600-cell is the 120-cell, whose facets are dodecahedra, which are the dual of the icosahedron.

  4. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    Epithelial cells also exhibit planar cell polarity, in which specialized structures are orientated within the plane of the epithelial sheet. Some examples of planar cell polarity include the scales of fish being oriented in the same direction and similarly the feathers of birds, the fur of mammals, and the cuticular projections (sensory hairs ...

  5. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms. Molecules containing polar bonds have no molecular polarity if the bond dipoles cancel each other out by symmetry. Polar molecules interact through dipole-dipole intermolecular forces and hydrogen bonds.

  6. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    In finite dimensions, the two notions of dual cone are essentially the same because every finite dimensional linear functional is continuous, [37] and every continuous linear functional in an inner product space induces a linear isomorphism (nonsingular linear map) from V* to V, and this isomorphism will take the dual cone given by the second ...

  7. Polar set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_set

    The polar cone of a convex cone is the set := { : , } This definition gives a duality on points and hyperplanes, writing the latter as the intersection of two oppositely-oriented half-spaces. The polar hyperplane of a point x ∈ X {\displaystyle x\in X} is the locus { y : y , x = 0 } {\displaystyle \{y~:~\langle y,x\rangle =0\}} ; the dual ...

  8. Cone cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_cell

    The structure of a cone cell. Cone cells are shorter but wider than rod cells. They are typically 40–50 μm long, and their diameter varies from 0.5–4.0 μm. They are narrowest at the fovea, where they are the most tightly packed. The S cone spacing is slightly larger than the others. [10]

  9. Double cone (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_cone_(biology)

    They are the most common type of cone cells in fish, reptiles, birds, and monotremes such as the platypus and are present in most vertebrates, though they have been noted as absent in most placental mammals (including humans), elasmobranches and catfish. [2] There are many gap junctions between the cells of fish double cones. [1]
