  2. Concentric objects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_objects

    Geometric objects with a well-defined axis include circles (any line through the center), spheres, cylinders, [2] conic sections, and surfaces of revolution. Concentric objects are often part of the broad category of whorled patterns , which also includes spirals (a curve which emanates from a point, moving farther away as it revolves around ...

  3. Direct energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_energy_conversion

    [2] [5] [11] Like the Venetian Blind concept, it is also a direct collector, but the collector plates are disposed in many stages along the longitudinal axis of an electrostatic focusing channel. As each ion is decelerated along the channel toward zero energy, the particle becomes "over-focused" and is deflected sideways from the beam, then ...

  5. Homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoscedasticity_and...

    The null hypothesis of this chi-squared test is homoscedasticity, and the alternative hypothesis would indicate heteroscedasticity. Since the Breusch–Pagan test is sensitive to departures from normality or small sample sizes, the Koenker–Bassett or 'generalized Breusch–Pagan' test is commonly used instead.

  6. Concentration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration

    In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration. [1]

  7. Transparency and translucency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_and_translucency

    Any given atom will vibrate around some mean or average position within a crystalline structure, surrounded by its nearest neighbors. This vibration in two dimensions is equivalent to the oscillation of a clock's pendulum. It swings back and forth symmetrically about some mean or average (vertical) position

  8. Liesegang rings (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liesegang_rings_(geology)

    Liesegang rings are referred to as examples of geochemical self-organization, meaning that their distribution in the rock does not seem to be directly related to features that were established prior to Liesegang ring formation. [13]
