  2. Causal loop diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_loop_diagram

    A causal loop diagram (CLD) is a causal diagram that aids in visualizing how different variables in a system are causally interrelated. The diagram consists of a set of words and arrows. Causal loop diagrams are accompanied by a narrative which describes the causally closed situation the CLD describes. Closed loops, or causal feedback loops, in ...

  3. Differential coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_coding

    Differential coding. In digital communications, differential coding is a technique used to provide unambiguous signal reception when using some types of modulation. It makes transmissible data dependent on both the current and previous signal (or symbol) states. The common types of modulation that may be used with differential coding include ...

  4. Polar coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_coordinate_system

    In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a reference point and an angle from a reference direction. The reference point (analogous to the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system) is called the pole, and the ray from the pole in the ...

  5. Asymptote (vector graphics language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymptote_(vector_graphics...

    Asymptote is also notable for having a graphical interface coded in Python (and the Tk widget set), xasy.py – this allows an inexperienced user to quickly draw up objects and save them as .asy source code which can then be examined or edited by hand. The program's syntax was originally described by using a Yacc compatible grammar.

  6. Decay scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_scheme

    The decay scheme of a radioactive substance is a graphical presentation of all the transitions occurring in a decay, and of their relationships. Examples are shown below. It is useful to think of the decay scheme as placed in a coordinate system, where the vertical axis is energy, increasing from bottom to top, and the horizontal axis is the proton number, increasing from left to right.

  7. Coordinate covalent bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate_covalent_bond

    An example of a dative covalent bond is provided by the interaction between a molecule of ammonia, a Lewis base with a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, and boron trifluoride, a Lewis acid by virtue of the boron atom having an incomplete octet of electrons. In forming the adduct, the boron atom attains an octet configuration.

  8. Pole figure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_figure

    To draw a pole figure, one chooses a particular crystal direction (e.g. the normal to the (100) plane) and then plots that direction, called a pole, for every crystal relative to a set of directions in the material. In a rolled metal, for example, the directions in the material are the rolling direction, transverse direction and rolling plane ...

  9. Phasor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phasor

    An example of series RLC circuit and respective phasor diagram for a specific ω.The arrows in the upper diagram are phasors, drawn in a phasor diagram (complex plane without axis shown), which must not be confused with the arrows in the lower diagram, which are the reference polarity for the voltages and the reference direction for the current.
