In mathematics, a twisted sheaf is a variant of a coherent sheaf . Precisely, it is specified by: an open covering in the étale topology U i , coherent sheaves F i over U i , a Čech 2-cocycle θ for G m {\displaystyle \mathbb {G} _{m}} on the covering U i as well as the isomorphisms satisfying The notion of twisted sh...

Twister OS (Twister for short) is a 32-bit Operating System created by Pi Labs for the Raspberry Pi single board computer originally, with a x86_64 PC version released a few months later. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Twister is meant to be a general-purpose OS that is familiar or nostalgic to users. Twister is based on Raspberry Pi OS ...

The Twister supersonic separator is a compact tubular device which is used for removing water and/or hydrocarbon dewpointing of natural gas . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The principle of operation is similar to the near isentropic Brayton cycle of a turboexpander. The gas is accelerated to supersonic velocities within the tube using...

Twistronics (from twist and electronics ) is the study of how the angle (the twist) between layers of two-dimensional materials can change their electrical properties. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Materials such as bilayer graphene have been shown to have vastly different electronic behavior, ranging from non-conductive to superconduct...

Twitching motility is a form of crawling bacterial motility used to move over surfaces. Twitching is mediated by the activity of hair-like filaments called type IV pili which extend from the cell's exterior, bind to surrounding solid substrates, and retract, pulling the cell forwards in a manner similar to the action o...

Two's complement is the most common method of representing signed (positive, negative, and zero) integers on computers, [ 1 ] and more generally, fixed point binary values. Two's complement uses the binary digit with the greatest value as the sign to indicate whether the binary number is positive or negative; when the ...

In quantum field theory , and in the significant subfields of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the two-body Dirac equations (TBDE) of constraint dynamics provide a three-dimensional yet manifestly covariant reformulation of the Bethe–Salpeter equation [ 1 ] for two spin-1/2 particles. Suc...

In classical mechanics , the two-body problem is to calculate and predict the motion of two massive bodies that are orbiting each other in space. The problem assumes that the two bodies are point particles that interact only with one another; the only force affecting each object arises from the other one, and all other...

The two-body problem in general relativity (or relativistic two-body problem ) is the determination of the motion and gravitational field of two bodies as described by the field equations of general relativity . Solving the Kepler problem is essential to calculate the bending of light by gravity and the motion of a pla...
