  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Seismic attribute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_attribute

    Examples of seismic attributes can include measured time, amplitude, frequency and attenuation, in addition to combinations of these. Most seismic attributes are post-stack, but those that use CMP gathers, such as amplitude versus offset (AVO), must be analysed pre-stack. [2]

  6. 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 .

  7. Offset (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset_(botany)

    In botany and horticulture, an offset (also called a pup, mainly in the US, [1]) is a small, virtually complete daughter plant that has been naturally and asexually produced on the mother plant. They are clones , meaning that they are genetically identical to the mother plant.

  8. Offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offset

    DC bias or DC offset, the mean amplitude of a waveform (originally, a direct-current ("DC") waveform) Displacement (vector) or "offset", the position of a point or a particle in reference to an origin or to a previous position; Frequency offset, the difference between a source and a reference frequency; Offset dish antenna, a type of satellite dish

  9. Actogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actogram

    One of the first examples of actograms being used in circadian biology was by Maynard Johnson. [2] Johnson compared the daily rhythms of different species of mice. [2] One of the benefits noted about the actogram as a representation of animal activity was that it was easy to see rhythms in activity.
