Balanoglossus, an example of a Hemichordata, represents an "evolutionary link" between invertebrates and vertebrates. In addition to the simple observation that the dorsoventral axes of protostomes and chordates appear to be inverted with respect to each other, molecular biology provides some support for the inversion hypothesis.
An inversion is a chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome becomes inverted within its original position. An inversion occurs when a chromosome undergoes a two breaks within the chromosomal arm, and the segment between the two breaks inserts itself in the opposite direction in the same chromosome arm.
Method of inversion, the image of a harmonic function in a sphere (or plane); see Method of image charges Multiplicative inverse , the reciprocal of a number (or any other type of element for which a multiplication function is defined)
In structural geology, inversion or basin inversion relates to the relative uplift of a sedimentary basin or similar structure [example needed] as a result of crustal shortening. This normally excludes uplift developed in the footwalls of later extensional faults , or uplift caused by mantle plumes .
Inversion of a line is a circle containing the center of inversion; or it is the line itself if it contains the center; Inversion of a circle is another circle; or it is a line if the original circle contains the center; Inversion of a parabola is a cardioid; Inversion of hyperbola is a lemniscate of Bernoulli
In meteorology, an inversion (or temperature inversion) is a phenomenon in which a layer of warmer air overlies cooler air. Normally, air temperature gradually decreases as altitude increases, but this relationship is reversed in an inversion. [2] An inversion traps air pollution, such as smog, near the ground.
A population inversion (N 2 > N 1) has thus been achieved between level 1 and 2, and optical amplification at the frequency ν 21 can be obtained. Because at least half the population of atoms must be excited from the ground state to obtain a population inversion, the laser medium must be very strongly pumped.
An inverse problem in science is the process of calculating from a set of observations the causal factors that produced them: for example, calculating an image in X-ray computed tomography, source reconstruction in acoustics, or calculating the density of the Earth from measurements of its gravity field. It is called an inverse problem because ...
