  2. Umpolung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umpolung

    In organic chemistry, umpolung (German: [ˈʔʊmˌpoːlʊŋ]) or polarity inversion is the chemical modification of a functional group with the aim of the reversal of polarity of that group. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This modification allows secondary reactions of this functional group that would otherwise not be possible. [ 3 ]

  4. Polarity inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_inversion

    Polarity inversion may refer to: Polarity inversion (chemistry) (aka Umpolung), in organic chemistry; Polarity inversion (differential pairs), swapping of positive ...

  5. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively charged end and a positively charged end. Polar molecules must contain one or more polar bonds due to a difference in electronegativity between the bonded atoms.

  6. Fast inverse square root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root

    Lighting and reflection calculations, as in the video game OpenArena, use the fast inverse square root code to compute angles of incidence and reflection.. Fast inverse square root, sometimes referred to as Fast InvSqrt() or by the hexadecimal constant 0x5F3759DF, is an algorithm that estimates , the reciprocal (or multiplicative inverse) of the square root of a 32-bit floating-point number in ...

  7. Geomagnetic reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

    Dark areas denote periods where the polarity matches today's normal polarity; light areas denote periods where that polarity is reversed. A geomagnetic reversal is a change in a planet's dipole magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged (not to be confused with geographic north and geographic ...

  8. Polarity reversal (seismology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarity_reversal_(seismology)

    For a polarity reversal to occur, the shale has to have a lower acoustic impedance than the water sand and both are required to have a higher acoustic impedance than the oil/gas sand. This is the intermediate situation, that occurs during sediment compaction with depth, between the acoustic impedance relationship required for a bright spot and ...

  9. Subduction polarity reversal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subduction_polarity_reversal

    Subduction polarity reversal is a geologic process in which two converging plates switch roles: The over-lying plate becomes the down-going plate, and vice versa. There are two basic units which make up a subduction zone .
