51Adiabatic invariant — An adiabatic invariant is a property of a physical system which stays constant when changes are made slowly.In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a change that occurs without heat flow and slowly compared to the time to reach equilibrium. In …
52Adaptive optics — (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by reducing the effects of rapidly changing optical distortion. It is used in astronomical telescopes and laser communication systems to remove the effects of atmospheric… …
53Directed-energy weapon — This article is about practical experiments with energy weapons. For fictional uses, see raygun. Humvee with Active Denial System mounted A directed energy weapon (DEW) emits energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. It… …
54Hilbert transform — In mathematics and in signal processing, the Hilbert transform is a linear operator which takes a function, u ( t ), and produces a function, H ( u )( t ), with the same domain. The Hilbert transform is named after David Hilbert, who first… …
55Chirplet transform — Comparison of wave, wavelet, chirp, and chirplet In signal processing, the chirplet transform is an inner product of an input signal with a family of analysis primitives called chirplets. Contents …
56Chemical reaction — Chemical reactions redirects here. For the 2007 television episode, see Chemical Reactions (Men in Trees). A thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. The sparks …
57Normal distribution — This article is about the univariate normal distribution. For normally distributed vectors, see Multivariate normal distribution. Probability density function The red line is the standard normal distribution Cumulative distribution function …
58Quantum mechanics — For a generally accessible and less technical introduction to the topic, see Introduction to quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics …
59Natural exponential family — In probability and statistics, the natural exponential family (NEF) is a class of probability distributions that is a special case of an exponential family (EF). Many common distributions are members of a natural exponential family, and the use… …
60Mathematical descriptions of opacity — When an electromagnetic wave travels through a medium in which it gets absorbed (this is called an opaque or attenuating medium), it undergoes exponential decay as described by the Beer–Lambert law. However, there are many possible ways to… …
