NOUN
- (physics) the property of being isotropic; having the same value when measured in different directions
How To Use isotropy In A Sentence
- It has also been well known that structural features induce some degree anisotropy in rock masses.
- The most compelling evidence for large-scale isotropy comes from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the leftover radiation from the Big Bang. A New CMB Anomaly?
- Data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) can show the minute temperature changes created as the cosmic microwave background radiation moves through gases in galaxy clusters.
- Fluorescence anisotropy is used to characterize rotational mobility of the fluorescing molecules or complexes.
- In diamagnetic heme proteins, the magnetic anisotropy is small and RDCs are barely large enough to be used as structural constraints.
- (Anisotropy is the opposite of isotropy, which is the condition of having the same value when measured from different directions.) Space: A three-dimensional air hockey game
- From anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility measurements and extensive microstructural data, the magnetic fabric of this pluton has been inferred to correlate with the magmatic fabric.
- Both isotropy and Quineanness are features that preclude encapsulation, since their possession by a system would require potentially unlimited access to the contents of central memory, and hence cognitive penetrability to the max. Modularity of Mind
- Analysis of cross-fiber anisotropy indicates a basic contrast of design between the extrinsic and the intrinsic fibers.
- In the iron diamagnetic form, magnetic anisotropy arises from the heme, aromatic moieties, and elements of secondary structure.
