rotation curve
11Lévy C curve — In mathematics, the Lévy C curve is a self similar fractal that was first described and whose differentiability properties were analysed by Ernesto Cesàro in 1906 and G. Farber in 1910, but now bears the name of French mathematician Paul Pierre… …
12Torsion of a curve — In the elementary differential geometry of curves in three dimensions, the torsion of a curve measures how sharply it is twisting. Taken together,the curvature and the torsion of a space curve are analogous to the curvature of a plane curve. For… …
13Outside curve (slice) (Football) — In football a ball may be kicked in a way to make it move, or curve, in the air. Outside curve (slice) is a method of kicking the football were the outside of the foot is used to kick the ball, therefore to put a certain amount of spin on it for… …
14yield curve risk — The risk to a holder of financial instruments that a change in prevailing interest rates will not affect the prices or yields of the same instruments in exactly equal amounts for each available term. For example, an increase in prevailing… …
15audit rotation — The periodic changing of external auditors. Some countries Italy and Spain, for example have traditions of requiring listed corporations to rotate auditors after a defined time period (typically five or seven years) in an attempt to encourage… …
16job rotation — An approach to job design that reduces boredom, and thus increases motivation, by rotating staff through a range of jobs. This process can also increase the flexibility of a system by introducing an element of multiskilling. The key is to make… …
17Oort constants — The Oort constants (discovered by Jan Oort) A and B are empirically derived parameters that characterize the local rotational properties of our galaxy, the Milky Way, in the following manner: where V0 and R0 are the rotational velocity and… …
18cosmos — /koz meuhs, mohs/, n., pl. cosmos, cosmoses for 2, 4. 1. the world or universe regarded as an orderly, harmonious system. 2. a complete, orderly, harmonious system. 3. order; harmony. 4. any composite plant of the genus Cosmos, of tropical… …
19Modified Newtonian dynamics — MOND redirects here. For other uses, see Mond. In physics, Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a hypothesis that proposes a modification of Newton s law of gravity to explain the galaxy rotation problem. When the uniform velocity of rotation of …
20Milky Way Galaxy — Large spiral galaxy (roughly 150,000 light years in diameter) that contains Earth s solar system. It includes the multitude of stars whose light is seen as the Milky Way, the irregular luminous band that encircles the sky defining the plane of… …
