  2. Amplitude versus offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude_versus_offset

    As per the Shuey approximation, the intersect P corresponds to R(0), the reflection amplitude at zero-offset, and the gradient G describes the behaviour at non-normal offset, a value known as the AVO gradient. Plotting P (or R(0)) against G for every time sample in every CMP gather produces an AVO crossplot and can be interpreted in a number of ...

  3. Study of animal locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Study_of_animal_locomotion

    Step amplitude: the distance a leg travels during swing in a ego-centric reference frame. Step length: the distance from the stance onset to stance onset in a world reference frame. Stride range of motion: the leg's integrated path between stance onset and swing offset. Joint angles: Walking can also be quantified through the analysis of joint ...

  4. Seismic attribute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_attribute

    Other attributes commonly used include: coherence, azimuth, dip, instantaneous amplitude, response amplitude, response phase, instantaneous bandwidth, AVO, and spectral decomposition. A seismic attribute that can indicate the presence or absence of hydrocarbons is known as a direct hydrocarbon indicator.

  5. Amplitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amplitude

    Peak-to-peak amplitude (abbreviated p–p or PtP or PtoP) is the change between peak (highest amplitude value) and trough (lowest amplitude value, which can be negative). With appropriate circuitry, peak-to-peak amplitudes of electric oscillations can be measured by meters or by viewing the waveform on an oscilloscope .

  6. Offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset

    Offset (computer science), the distance to (displacement of) an element within a data object; Offset (gears), the perpendicular distance between the axes of hypoid or offset-facing gears; Offset (geometry), see parallel curve; Offset (geophysics), the distance between a source and receiver of seismic or other geophysical readings

  7. Biological rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_rhythm

    Examples include circannual or annual cycles that govern migration or reproduction cycles in many plants and animals, or the human menstrual cycle. Ultradian rhythms , which are cycles shorter than 24 hours, such as the 90-minute REM cycle , the 4-hour nasal cycle , or the 3-hour cycle of growth hormone production.

  8. Accommodation (vertebrate eye) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accommodation_(vertebrate_eye)

    The amplitude of accommodation is a clinical measurement that describes the maximum potential increase in optical power that an eye can achieve in adjusting its focus. It refers to a certain range of object distances for which the retinal image is as sharply focused as possible. Amplitude of accommodation is measured during routine eye-examination.

  9. Biological rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_rules

    The pygmy mammoth is an example of insular dwarfism, a case of Foster's rule, its unusually small body size an adaptation to the limited resources of its island home.. A biological rule or biological law is a generalized law, principle, or rule of thumb formulated to describe patterns observed in living organisms.
