  2. Arc elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_elasticity

    The y arc elasticity of x is defined as: , = % % where the percentage change in going from point 1 to point 2 is usually calculated relative to the midpoint: % = (+) /; % = (+) /. The use of the midpoint arc elasticity formula (with the midpoint used for the base of the change, rather than the initial point (x 1, y 1) which is used in almost all other contexts for calculating percentages) was ...

  3. Elasticity of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_a_function

    The elasticity at a point is the limit of the arc elasticity between two points as the separation between those two points approaches zero. The concept of elasticity is widely used in economics and metabolic control analysis (MCA); see elasticity (economics) and elasticity coefficient respectively for details.

  4. Elastic mechanisms in animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic_mechanisms_in_animals

    Elastic proteins provide the property of elasticity which gives the spring the ability to bend reversibly without the loss of energy, and the ability to bend to large strains with small force. [3] Elastic proteins also contain high resilience and low stiffness which helps with the function of elastic strain energy.

  5. Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity-regulated...

    Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein is a plasticity protein that in humans is encoded by the ARC gene. The gene is believed to derive from a retrotransposon . [ 5 ] The protein is found in the neurons of tetrapods and other animals where it can form virus-like capsids that transport RNA between neurons.

  6. Elasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity

    Elasticity (economics), a general term for a ratio of change. For more specific economic forms of elasticity, see: Cross elasticity of demand; Elasticity of substitution; Frisch elasticity of labor supply; Income elasticity of demand; Output elasticity; Price elasticity of demand; Price elasticity of supply; Yield elasticity of bond value

  7. Augustin-Louis Cauchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustin-Louis_Cauchy

    The rudiments of this theorem can already be found in a paper that the 24-year-old Cauchy presented to the Académie des Sciences (then still called "First Class of the Institute") on August 11, 1814. In full form the theorem was given in 1825. [16] In 1826 Cauchy gave a formal definition of a residue of a function. [17]

  8. Jyā, koti-jyā and utkrama-jyā - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyā,_koti-jyā_and_utkrama...

    Literal meaning of jyā Technical meaning of jyā and kojyā. An arc of a circle is like a bow and so is called a dhanu or chāpa which in Sanskrit means "a bow". The straight line joining the two extremities of an arc of a circle is like the string of a bow and this line is a chord of the circle.

  9. Anelasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anelasticity

    Anelasticity is therefore by the existence of a part of time dependent reaction, in addition to the elastic one in the material considered. It is also usually a very small fraction of the total response and so, in this sense, the usual meaning of "anelasticity" as "without elasticity" is improper in a physical sense.
