1Filling radius — In Riemannian geometry, the filling radius of a Riemannian manifold X is a metric invariant of X . It was originally introduced in 1983 by Mikhail Gromov, who used it to prove his systolic inequality for essential manifolds, vastly generalizing… …
2Space-filling curve — 3 iterations of a Peano curve construction, whose limit is a space filling curve. In mathematical analysis, a space filling curve is a curve whose range contains the entire 2 dimensional unit square (or more generally an N dimensional hypercube) …
3Fountain pen — A fountain pen is a nib pen that, unlike its predecessor the dip pen, contains an internal reservoir of water based liquid ink. From the reservoir, the ink is drawn through a feed to the nib and then to the paper via a combination of gravity and… …
4textile — /teks tuyl, til/, n. 1. any cloth or goods produced by weaving, knitting, or felting. 2. a material, as a fiber or yarn, used in or suitable for weaving: Glass can be used as a textile. adj. 3. woven or capable of being woven: textile fabrics. 4 …
5Dental amalgam controversy — Dental amalgam filling The dental amalgam controversy refers to the conflicting views over the use of amalgam as a filling material mainly because it contains the element mercury. The concern centers on the health effects of toxicity or allergy… …
6Mathematics and Physical Sciences — ▪ 2003 Introduction Mathematics Mathematics in 2002 was marked by two discoveries in number theory. The first may have practical implications; the second satisfied a 150 year old curiosity. Computer scientist Manindra Agrawal of the… …
7literature — /lit euhr euh cheuhr, choor , li treuh /, n. 1. writings in which expression and form, in connection with ideas of permanent and universal interest, are characteristic or essential features, as poetry, novels, history, biography, and essays. 2.… …
8Systolic geometry — In mathematics, systolic geometry is the study of systolic invariants of manifolds and polyhedra, as initially conceived by Charles Loewner, and developed by Mikhail Gromov and others, in its arithmetic, ergodic, and topological manifestations.… …
9performing arts — arts or skills that require public performance, as acting, singing, or dancing. [1945 50] * * * ▪ 2009 Introduction Music Classical. The last vestiges of the Cold War seemed to thaw for a moment on Feb. 26, 2008, when the unfamiliar strains …
10Convex uniform honeycomb — The alternated cubic honeycomb is one of 28 space filling uniform tessellations in Euclidean 3 space, composed of alternating yellow tetrahedra and red octahedra. In geometry, a convex uniform honeycomb is a uniform tessellation which fills three …
