  2. Rhombohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombohedron

    It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells. A rhombohedron has two opposite apices at which all face angles are equal; a prolate rhombohedron has this common angle acute, and an oblate rhombohedron has an obtuse angle at these vertices.

    In the characteristics that are relevant to the development process of an economy Myrdal mentioned the availability of natural resources, the historical traditions of production activity, national cohesion, religions and ideologies, economic, social and political leadership.

  4. Crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_system

    The diamond crystal structure belongs to the face-centered cubic lattice, with a repeated two-atom pattern.. In crystallography, a crystal system is a set of point groups (a group of geometric symmetries with at least one fixed point).

  5. List of space groups - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_space_groups

    R rhombohedral; A reflection plane m within the point groups can be replaced by a glide plane, labeled as a, b, or c depending on which axis the glide is along. There is also the n glide, which is a glide along the half of a diagonal of a face, and the d glide, which is along a quarter of either a face or space diagonal of the unit cell.

  6. Social cycle theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_cycle_theory

    Social cycle theories are among the earliest social theories in sociology.Unlike the theory of social evolutionism, which views the evolution of society and human history as progressing in some new, unique direction(s), sociological cycle theory argues that events and stages of society and history generally repeat themselves in cycles.

  7. Allotropes of boron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allotropes_of_boron

    Well known crystalline forms are α-rhombohedral (α-R), β-rhombohedral (β-R), and β-tetragonal (β-T). In special circumstances, boron can also be synthesized in the form of its α-tetragonal (α-T) and γ-orthorhombic (γ) allotropes. Two amorphous forms, one a finely divided powder and the other a glassy solid, are also known.

  8. Life history theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_history_theory

    Life cycles can be divided into two major stages: growth and reproduction. These two cannot take place at the same time, so once reproduction has begun, growth usually ends. [9] This shift is important because it can also affect other aspects of an organism's life, such as the organization of its group or its social interactions. [8]

    By definition, the syntax (hkℓ) denotes a plane that intercepts the three points a 1 /h, a 2 /k, and a 3 /ℓ, or some multiple thereof. That is, the Miller indices are proportional to the inverses of the intercepts of the plane with the unit cell (in the basis of the lattice vectors).
