A tubular neighborhood is a concept from differential topology, which refers to a certain kind of neighborhood around a submanifold within a manifold.
List of interactive geometry software 1970-01-01
Interactive geometry software allows users to create and manipulate geometric constructions and models. These applications are commonly used in education for teaching geometry concepts, as well as by professionals in fields such as architecture and engineering. Here is a list of some popular interactive geometry software: 1. **GeoGebra** - A dynamic mathematics software that combines geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphing, statistics, and calculus.
Laguerre formula 1970-01-01
The Laguerre formula, commonly referred to in the context of numerical methods, is associated with the Laguerre's method for finding roots of polynomial equations.
Semi-global matching 1970-01-01
Semi-global matching (SGM) is a technique used in computer vision, particularly for stereo vision and depth estimation. It is designed to compute disparity maps efficiently and accurately from stereo image pairs. The goal of SGM is to find corresponding points in two images taken from different viewpoints, allowing for the estimation of depth by measuring the disparity between these points.
Stereo cameras 1970-01-01
Stereo cameras are devices that use two or more lenses to capture images simultaneously from slightly different perspectives, mimicking the way human eyes perceive depth and three-dimensionality. By providing different viewpoints, stereo cameras can capture depth information, allowing for the creation of 3D images or videos. **Key Features of Stereo Cameras:** 1. **Depth Perception**: The primary advantage of stereo cameras is their ability to gauge depth.
Euler filter 1970-01-01
The Euler filter, often associated with the concept of image processing and computer vision, is a type of linear filter that is used to enhance images by preserving edges while reducing noise. The filter is named after the mathematician and physicist Leonhard Euler. While there may be several interpretations of what an "Euler filter" could be depending on the context, it's primarily known in image processing for its application in edge detection and smoothing techniques.

Geomagnetism 1970-01-01
Geomagnetism refers to the study of the Earth's magnetic field, its origin, changes, and effects. The Earth's magnetic field is generated by the movement of molten iron and other metals in its outer core, which creates electric currents that, in turn, produce magnetic fields. Key aspects of geomagnetism include: 1. **Magnetic Field Characteristics**: The Earth's magnetic field resembles that of a giant bar magnet tilted about 11 degrees from the rotational axis of the Earth.
7th-century mathematicians 1970-01-01
The 7th century was a period of significant mathematical development, particularly in the regions of the Byzantine Empire, the Islamic world, and India. Here are a few notable points regarding mathematicians and mathematical advancements from that time: 1. **Islamic Influence**: The rise of the Islamic Caliphate in the 7th century led to the preservation and enhancement of Greek and Indian mathematical knowledge. Scholars began to make important contributions in various fields, including algebra and geometry.
Lagrangian Ocean Analysis 1970-01-01
Lagrangian Ocean Analysis is a method used in oceanography to study and understand ocean dynamics, currents, and the movement of particles or fluid parcels within the ocean. The term "Lagrangian" refers to a perspective in fluid dynamics that focuses on the motion of individual particles as they move through the fluid, rather than looking at fixed points in space (which is called a Eulerian perspective).
Langmuir circulation 1970-01-01
Langmuir circulation is a type of large-scale, horizontal circulation pattern that occurs in the ocean, particularly in the upper layer of water. It is characterized by the formation of parallel, counter-rotating vortices, or cells, that can stretch several hundred meters in length and range from a few meters to tens of meters in width. These circulation patterns are driven primarily by wind stress on the ocean surface.
Vanishing point 1970-01-01
Ubersketch 1970-01-01
As of my last knowledge update in October 2021, there was no widely recognized product or service known as "Ubersketch." It’s possible that it could refer to a variety of concepts, such as a design tool, a service, or even an app that may have emerged after that date.
Love wave 1970-01-01
A Love wave is a type of surface seismic wave that travels along the Earth's surface and is named after the British mathematician A. E. H. Love, who first described them in the early 20th century. Love waves are characterized by a horizontal shearing motion that occurs in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Key characteristics of Love waves include: 1. **Motion**: Love waves involve side-to-side motion of the ground.
Outline of geophysics 1970-01-01
Geophysics is a broad discipline that employs principles of physics to study the Earth and its environment. It encompasses various methods and techniques to analyze geological and geophysical phenomena. An outline of geophysics can be structured around its main branches, methods, applications, and concepts. Here’s a detailed outline: ### I. Introduction to Geophysics A. Definition of Geophysics B. Historical Development C. Importance and Applications D.
Seismoelectrical method 1970-01-01
The seismoelectrical method is a geophysical technique that combines seismic and electrical measurements to investigate subsurface structures and materials. This method relies on the principles of electromechanical coupling, where seismic waves induce electrical potentials in the ground. It is particularly useful in various applications such as groundwater exploration, resource assessment, and environmental studies.
Shear velocity 1970-01-01
Shear velocity, often denoted as \( u_* \) (u-star), is a measure of the frictional velocity in a fluid, typically used in contexts related to turbulence, boundary layer flows, and sediment transport. It describes the velocity scale associated with the shear stress near a boundary (like the surface of the Earth or a water body) that influences the motion of particles and the behavior of the flow.
Specularity 1970-01-01
Specularity refers to the reflection of light from a surface, particularly in the context of 3D computer graphics and materials science. It describes how shiny or glossy a surface appears and how it reflects light. There are two main components to understanding specularity: 1. **Specular Reflection**: This is the mirror-like reflection of light that occurs when light hits a smooth surface. Specular highlights are the bright spots seen on reflective surfaces, like the shine on a polished metal or a glossy paint.
