For medical use, see body shape. Bust/waist/hip measurements (informally called 'body measurements' or ′vital statistics′) are a common method of specifying clothing sizes. They match the three inflection points of the female body shape. In human body measurement, these three sizes are the circumferences of the bust, waist and hips; usually ...
Ten-code. Ten-codes, officially known as ten signals, are brevity codes used to represent common phrases in voice communication, particularly by US public safety officials and in citizens band (CB) radio transmissions. The police version of ten-codes is officially known as the APCO Project 14 Aural Brevity Code. [1]
In theoretical physics, a Feynman diagram is a pictorial representation of the mathematical expressions describing the behavior and interaction of subatomic particles. The scheme is named after American physicist Richard Feynman, who introduced the diagrams in 1948. The interaction of subatomic particles can be complex and difficult to ...
Band diagram for semiconductor heterojunction at equilibrium. In solid-state physics of semiconductors, a band diagram is a diagram plotting various key electron energy levels ( Fermi level and nearby energy band edges) as a function of some spatial dimension, which is often denoted x. [1] These diagrams help to explain the operation of many ...
Chromaticity is an objective specification of the quality of a color regardless of its luminance. Chromaticity consists of two independent parameters, often specified as hue (h) and colorfulness (s), where the latter is alternatively called saturation, chroma, intensity, [ 1] or excitation purity. [ 2][ 3] This number of parameters follows from ...
Algebraic notationis the standard method for recording and describing the moves in a game of chess. It is based on a system of coordinatesto uniquely identify each square on the board.[1] It is now almost universally used by books, magazines, newspapers and software, and is the only form of notation recognized by FIDE, the international chess ...
The DOT code [ 1] is an alphanumeric character sequence molded into the sidewall of the tire and allows the identification of the tire and its age. The code is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation [ 2] but is used worldwide. [ 3] The DOT code is also useful in identifying tires subject to product recall [ 4] or at end of life due ...
Resonance Raman spectroscopy ( RR spectroscopy or RRS) is a variant of Raman spectroscopy in which the incident photon energy is close in energy to an electronic transition of a compound or material under examination. [1] This similarity in energy ( resonance) leads to greatly increased intensity of the Raman scattering of certain vibrational ...
