adjective(Physics)the work it can do in virtue of its actual condition, without any supply of energy from without. adjective(Geom.)the equation which expresses the relation which the length of a curve, measured from a given point of it, to a movable point, has to the angle which the tan...
light - the visual effect of illumination on objects or scenes as created in pictures; "he could paint the lightest light and the darkest dark" lightness visual property - an attribute of vision gloriole, halo, nimbus, aura, aureole, glory - an indication of radiant light drawn around the ...
I analyze the meaning of mass in Newtonian mechanics. First, I explain the notion of primitive ontology, which was originally introduced in the philosophy of quantum mechanics. Then I examine the two common interpretations of mass: mass as a measure of the quantity of matter and mass as a ...
When dealing with geometrical networks, namely, graphs built from points contained in a Riemannian manifold of a given dimension, the ID has a proper quantitative meaning. As the scale becomes larger, the ID tends to the dimension of the underlying manifold, as shown by the plateaus in Fig. ...
In physics, a fluid is a substance with zero resistance to shear force, meaning any applied stress causes persistent deformation. Underlying this behavior are two connected concepts: viscosity and intrinsic viscosity. Whilst viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow, intrinsic viscosity...
Generality of points of view and of methods, precision and elegance in presentation, have become, since Lagrange, the common property of all who would lay claim to the rank of scientific mathematicians. And, even if this generality leads at times to abstruseness at the expense of intuition ...
This paradigm leads to the discovery of a striking symmetry in network controllability: if we exchange the fractions of any two types of dynamic units, the sys- tem's controllability (quantified by ND) remains the same. This exchange-invariant property gives rise to a global symmetry point, ...
Conscious nervous systems may have initially evolved in conformity with the physics of magnetic fields. Consciousness, understood as an attribute of living organisms, is firstly an evolutionary adaptation that contributed to the survival of species on earth. It may not be an emergent property of the...
Identifying regions of different dimensionality in a dataset can thus be a way to perform an unsupervised segmentation of the data. At odds with common approaches, we do not group the data according to their density but perform segmentation based on a geometric property defined on a local scale...
