  2. Fairmont Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Monte_Carlo

    [6] and renamed Fairmont Monte Carlo. The hotel was renovated in 2005 and again in 2009. During the annual Monaco Grand Prix at the Circuit de Monaco, the drivers make use of the tunnel under the hotel. [7] The hotel overlooks a hairpin bend, called the Fairmont hairpin, the slowest corner on the F1 calendar. [8]

    In 1973, as anticipated, the track was modified at various points also due to the construction of new civil buildings. In particular, a new hotel was under construction in the "Old Station" hairpin area (Hotel Loews, later renamed Fairmont), resulting in an extension of the tunnel towards the "Portier" curve.

  4. Hairpin turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairpin_turn

    Hairpin turn in Oregon, US A hairpin, after which the feature is named. A hairpin turn (also hairpin bend or hairpin corner) is a bend in a road with a very acute inner angle, making it necessary for an oncoming vehicle to turn about 180° to continue on the road. It is named for its resemblance to a bent metal hairpin.

  5. Turn (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(biochemistry)

    A hairpin is a special case of a turn, in which the direction of the protein backbone reverses and the flanking secondary structure elements interact. For example, a beta hairpin connects two hydrogen-bonded , antiparallel β-strands (a rather confusing name, since a β-hairpin may contain many types of turns – α, β, γ, etc.).

  6. Circuit Gilles Villeneuve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_Gilles_Villeneuve

    The Hairpin (L'Epingle) on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The very fast Pont de la Concorde corner (Turn 8) is after the bridge underpass and is known as a 'quick kink' before Turn 9 and the rush to a passing zone at the Hairpin curve.

  7. Coherent turbulent structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_turbulent_structure

    A turbulent flow is a flow regime in fluid dynamics where fluid velocity varies significantly and irregularly in both position and time. [3] Furthermore, a coherent structure is defined as a turbulent flow whose vorticity expression, which is usually stochastic, contains orderly components that can be described as being instantaneously coherent over the spatial extent of the flow structure.

  8. Road curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_curve

    Road curves are irregular bends in roads to bring a gradual change of direction. Similar curves are on railways and canals. Curves provided in the horizontal plane are known as horizontal curves and are generally circular or parabolic. Curves provided in the vertical plane are known as vertical curve.

  9. Kissing stem-loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_stem-loop

    When the hairpin loops are located on separate RNA molecules, their intermolecular interaction is called a kissing complex. These interactions generally form between stem-loops. However, stable complexes have been observed containing only two intermolecular Watson–Crick base pairs .
