linear effect
91Soliton (optics) — In optics, the term soliton is used to refer to any optical field that does not change during propagation because of a delicate balance between nonlinear and linear effects in the medium. There are two main kinds of solitons: spatial solitons:… …
92Heritability — is the proportion of phenotypic variation in a population that is due to genetic variation between individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic, environmental factors, and/or random chance[1]. Heritability analyzes… …
93Nonlinear acoustics — Non linear acoustics is a branch of physics dealing with sound waves being distorted as they travel. Contents 1 Introduction 2 Physical Analysis 3 Mathematical model 4 Common occurrences …
94regression — regression, regression analysis A term used originally to describe the fact that if, for example, parents and children s weights are measured, the children s weights tend to be closer to the average than are those of their parents: unusually… …
95Raman spectroscopy — Energy level diagram showing the states involved in Raman signal. The line thickness is roughly proportional to the signal strength from the different transitions. Raman spectroscopy (   …
96Advertising Adstock — is a term coined by Simon Broadbent [Broadbent, S. (1979) One Way TV Advertisements Work , Journal of the Market Research Society Vol. 23 no.3.] to describe the prolonged or lagged effect of advertising on consumer purchase behavior. It is also… …
97Quantum stirring, ratchets, and pumping — A pump is an AC driven device that generates a DC current. In the simplest configuration a pump has two leads connected to two reservoirs. In such open geometry the pump takes particles from one reservoir and emits them into the other.… …
98Minute of Angle — This article is about firearms terminology. For geometry, see Minute of arc. 32 minutes of angle of angular size of the moon Minute of angle (MOA) is the measurement (in fractions of degrees) of a ballistic round s deviation from its initial… …
99Electrostriction — is a property of all electrical non conductors, or dielectrics, that causes them to change their shape under the application of an electric field. (Compare with magnetostriction.) Explanation Electrostriction is a property of all dielectric… …
100Acoustic streaming — is a steady current forced by the absorption of high amplitude acoustic oscillations.This phenomenon can be observed near sound emitters, or in the standing waves within a Kundt s tube.It is the less known opposite of sound generation by a… …
