  2. Eyeglass prescription - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyeglass_prescription

    SPH, CYL, and AXIS are values for describing the power of the lens using plus cylinder or minus cylinder notation. ADD is an abbreviation for Near Addition. This is the additional refractive power to be combined, or added, to the distance power to achieve the ideal near power.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoothed-particle...

    Schematic view of an SPH convolution Flow around cylinder with free surface modelled with SPH. See [1] for similar simulations.. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating the mechanics of continuum media, such as solid mechanics and fluid flows.

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

  5. Crystallographic point group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallographic_point_group

    The symbols used in crystallography mean the following: C n (for cyclic) indicates that the group has an n-fold rotation axis. C nh is C n with the addition of a mirror (reflection) plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation. C nv is C n with the addition of n mirror planes parallel to the axis of rotation.

  6. Axial chirality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_chirality

    Two types of molecules having axial chirality: allenes (left) and binaryl atropisomers (right) In chemistry, axial chirality is a special case of chirality in which a molecule contains two pairs of chemical groups in a non-planar arrangement about an axis of chirality so that the molecule is not superposable on its mirror image.

  7. Oblate spheroidal coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblate_spheroidal_coordinates

    The z-axis is vertical, and the foci are at ±2. The red oblate spheroid (flattened sphere) corresponds to μ = 1 , whereas the blue half-hyperboloid corresponds to ν = 45° . The azimuth φ = −60° measures the dihedral angle between the green xz half-plane and the yellow half-plane that includes the point P .

  8. Neighbouring group participation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neighbouring_group...

    In organic chemistry, neighbouring group participation (NGP, also known as anchimeric assistance) has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) as the interaction of a reaction centre with a lone pair of electrons in an atom or the electrons present in a sigma or pi bond contained within the parent molecule but not conjugated with the reaction centre.
