  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    When the scale factor is larger than 1, (uniform or non-uniform) scaling is sometimes also called dilation or enlargement. When the scale factor is a positive number smaller than 1, scaling is sometimes also called contraction or reduction. In the most general sense, a scaling includes the case in which the directions of scaling are not ...

  3. Scale factor (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(computer...

    A scale factor of 1 ⁄ 10 cannot be used here, because scaling 160 by 1 ⁄ 10 gives 16, which is greater than the greatest value that can be stored in this fixed-point format. However, 1 ⁄ 11 will work as a scale factor, because the maximum scaled value, 160 ⁄ 11 = 14. 54, fits within this range. Given this set:

  4. Image scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling

    Image scaling can be interpreted as a form of image resampling or image reconstruction from the view of the Nyquist sampling theorem.According to the theorem, downsampling to a smaller image from a higher-resolution original can only be carried out after applying a suitable 2D anti-aliasing filter to prevent aliasing artifacts.

  5. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    If an animal were isometrically scaled up by a considerable amount, its relative muscular strength would be severely reduced, since the cross-section of its muscles would increase by the square of the scaling factor while its mass would increase by the cube of the scaling factor. As a result of this, cardiovascular and respiratory functions ...

  6. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Images displayed on a computer screen change size based on the size of the screen. A scale bar (or micron bar) is a bar of stated length superimposed on a picture. When the picture is resized the bar will be resized in proportion. If a picture has a scale bar, the actual magnification can easily be calculated.

    In general, damage rises by about a factor of four for every category increase. Watch the video below for a visual breakdown of the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity for each category.

  8. Scale factor (cosmology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_factor_(cosmology)

    The scale factor is dimensionless, with counted from the birth of the universe and set to the present age of the universe: [4] giving the current value of as () or . The evolution of the scale factor is a dynamical question, determined by the equations of general relativity , which are presented in the case of a locally isotropic, locally ...
