https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cog%27s%20ladder | Cog's ladder of group development is based on the work, "Cog's Ladder: A Model of Group Growth", by George O. Charrier, an employee of Procter and Gamble, published in a company newsletter in 1972. The original document was written to help group managers at Procter and Gamble better understand the dynamics of group wo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biquadratic%20field | In mathematics, a biquadratic field is a number field K of a particular kind, which is a Galois extension of the rational number field Q with Galois group the Klein four-group.
Structure and subfields
Biquadratic fields are all obtained by adjoining two square roots. Therefore in explicit terms they have the form
K ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasile%20M.%20Popov | Vasile Mihai Popov (born 1928) is a leading systems theorist and control engineering specialist. He is well known for having developed a method to analyze stability of nonlinear dynamical systems, now known as Popov criterion.
Biography
He was born in Galaţi, Romania on July 7, 1928. He received the engineering degre... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porphine | Porphine or porphin is an organic compound of empirical formula . It is heterocyclic and aromatic. The molecule is a flat macrocycle, consisting of four pyrrole-like rings joined by four methine bridges, which makes it the simplest of the tetrapyrroles.
The nonpolar tetrapyrrolic ring structure of porphine means it i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundary%20conformal%20field%20theory | In theoretical physics, boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) is a conformal field theory defined on a spacetime with a boundary (or boundaries). Different kinds of boundary conditions for the fields may be imposed on the fundamental fields; for example, Neumann boundary condition or Dirichlet boundary condition is ac... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular%20distance | Angular distance or angular separation, also known as apparent distance or apparent separation, denoted , is the angle between the two sightlines, or between two point objects as viewed from an observer.
Angular distance appears in mathematics (in particular geometry and trigonometry) and all natural sciences (e.g., k... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graft%20hybrid | Grafting joins plant parts, forming a genetically composite organism functioning as one plant. A scion is a shoot from one plant that, after grafting, grows on the upper part of another plant. The stock receives the scion and serves as the root system for the grafted plant. Graft hybridisation refers to a form of asexu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annulet%20%28architecture%29 | An annulet is a small square component in the Doric capital, under the quarter-round. It is also called a fillet or listel, although and are also more general terms for a narrow band or strip, such as the ridge between flutes.
An annulet is also a narrow flat architectural moulding, common in other parts of a column... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical%20cross%20section | Optical cross section (OCS) is a value which describes the maximum amount of optical flux reflected back to the source. The standard unit of measurement is m2/sr. OCS is dependent on the geometry and the reflectivity at a particular wavelength of an object. Optical cross section is useful in fields such as LIDAR. I... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang%E2%80%93Baxter%20equation | In physics, the Yang–Baxter equation (or star–triangle relation) is a consistency equation which was first introduced in the field of statistical mechanics. It depends on the idea that in some scattering situations, particles may preserve their momentum while changing their quantum internal states. It states that a mat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppArmor | AppArmor ("Application Armor") is a Linux kernel security module that allows the system administrator to restrict programs' capabilities with per-program profiles. Profiles can allow capabilities like network access, raw socket access, and the permission to read, write, or execute files on matching paths. AppArmor supp... |
