  2. Boundary-work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary-work

    Boundary-work is part of science studies. In boundary-work , boundaries, demarcations, or other divisions between fields of knowledge are created, advocated, attacked, or reinforced. Such delineations often have high stakes for the participants, [ 1 ] and carry the implication that such boundaries are flexible and socially constructed .

  3. ∂ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%88%82

    The boundary of a set in topology. The boundary operator on a chain complex in homological algebra. The boundary operator of a differential graded algebra. The conjugate of the Dolbeault operator on complex differential forms. The boundary ∂(S) of a set of vertices S in a graph is the set of edges leaving S, which defines a cut.

  4. Minkowski content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski_content

    The Minkowski content (named after Hermann Minkowski), or the boundary measure, of a set is a basic concept that uses concepts from geometry and measure theory to generalize the notions of length of a smooth curve in the plane, and area of a smooth surface in space, to arbitrary measurable sets.

    1. Boundary of a topological subspace: If S is a subspace of a topological space, then its boundary, denoted , is the set difference between the closure and the interior of S. 2. Partial derivative: see ⁠ ∂ / ∂ ⁠. ∫ 1. Without a subscript, denotes an antiderivative.

  6. Bounding volume hierarchy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume_hierarchy

    There are three primary categories of tree construction methods: top-down, bottom-up, and insertion methods. Top-down methods proceed by partitioning the input set into two (or more) subsets, bounding them in the chosen bounding volume, then keep partitioning (and bounding) recursively until each subset consists of only a single primitive (leaf nodes are reached).

  7. Boundary object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary_object

    This concept has since been widely cited and the concept of a boundary object has been adopted in computer science (particularly computer supported cooperative work), information science, [4] and management, particularly when considering cross-disciplinary work and collaboration, [5] either within one organization or with the boundary object helping to focus the efforts of multiple organizations.

    The boundary layer around a human hand, schlieren photograph. The boundary layer is the bright-green border, most visible on the back of the hand (click for high-res image). In physics and fluid mechanics, a boundary layer is the thin layer of fluid in the immediate vicinity of a bounding surface formed by
