  2. Peres–Horodecki criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peres–Horodecki_criterion

    The Peres–Horodecki criterion is a necessary condition, for the joint density matrix of two quantum mechanical systems and , to be separable. It is also called the PPT criterion, for positive partial transpose. In the 2×2 and 2×3 dimensional cases the condition is also sufficient. It is used to decide the separability of mixed states, where ...

  3. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Transparency and translucency. Dichroic filters are created using optically transparent materials. In the field of optics, transparency (also called pellucidity or diaphaneity) is the physical property of allowing light to pass through the material without appreciable scattering of light. On a macroscopic scale (one in which the dimensions are ...

  4. Alpha compositing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_compositing

    A color spectrum image with an alpha channel that falls off to zero at its base, where it is blended with the background color. In computer graphics, alpha compositing or alpha blending is the process of combining one image with a background to create the appearance of partial or full transparency. [1] It is often useful to render picture ...

  5. Crystallization of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization_of_polymers

    Crystallization of polymers is a process associated with partial alignment of their molecular chains. These chains fold together and form ordered regions called lamellae, which compose larger spheroidal structures named spherulites. [1][2] Polymers can crystallize upon cooling from melting, mechanical stretching or solvent evaporation.

  6. Separation of variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_variables

    t. e. In mathematics, separation of variables (also known as the Fourier method) is any of several methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations, in which algebra allows one to rewrite an equation so that each of two variables occurs on a different side of the equation.

  7. Transparency (graphic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic)

    Transparency (graphic) Transparency in computer graphics is possible in a number of file formats. The term "transparency" is used in various ways by different people, but at its simplest there is "full transparency" i.e. something that is completely invisible. Only part of a graphic should be fully transparent, or there would be nothing to see.

  8. Transparency (projection) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(projection)

    Transparency (projection) Overhead projector in operation, with a transparency being flashed. A transparency, also known variously as a viewfoil or foil (from the French word "feuille" or sheet), or viewgraph, is a thin sheet of transparent flexible material, typically polyester (historically cellulose acetate), onto which figures can be drawn.

  9. Opacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opacity

    Opacity is the measure of impenetrability to electromagnetic or other kinds of radiation, especially visible light. In radiative transfer, it describes the absorption and scattering of radiation in a medium, such as a plasma, dielectric, shielding material, glass, etc. An opaque object is neither transparent (allowing all light to pass through ...
