Denote by h′ a ray of the straight line a′ emanating from a point O′ of this line. Then in the plane α′ there is one and only one ray k′ such that the angle ∠ (h, k), or ∠ (k, h), is congruent to the angle ∠ (h′, k′) and at the same time all interior points of the angle ∠ (h′, k′) lie upon the given side of a′.
The concepts of fluid intelligence (g f) and crystallized intelligence (g c) were introduced in 1943 by the psychologist Raymond Cattell. [1] [2] [3] According to Cattell's psychometrically-based theory, general intelligence (g) is subdivided into g f and g c.
The type of changes from one eye to the other may differ depending on which level of stereoacuity is to be detected. A series of stereotests for selected levels thus constitutes a test of stereoacuity. There are two types of common clinical tests for stereopsis and stereoacuity: random dot stereotests and contour stereotests.
The disparity of features between two stereo images are usually computed as a shift to the left of an image feature when viewed in the right image. [3] For example, a single point that appears at the x coordinate t (measured in pixels) in the left image may be present at the x coordinate t − 3 in the right image. In this case, the disparity ...
It is denoted by a double prime ( ″ ). For example, 3° 7′ 30″ is equal to 3 + 7 / 60 + 30 / 3600 degrees, or 3.125 degrees. The arcsecond is the angle used to measure a parsec: grad: 400: 0°54′ The grad, also called grade, gradian, or gon. It is a decimal subunit of the quadrant. A right angle is 100 grads.
Intensity of thermal radiation from the sun depends on view factor. In radiative heat transfer, a view factor, , is the proportion of the radiation which leaves surface that strikes surface .
In geometric optics, the paraxial approximation is a small-angle approximation used in Gaussian optics and ray tracing of light through an optical system (such as a lens). [1] [2] A paraxial ray is a ray that makes a small angle (θ) to the optical axis of the system, and lies close to the axis throughout the system. [1]
Edwin Ray Guthrie (/ ˈ ɡ ʌ θ r i /; January 9, 1886 – April 23, 1959) was a behavioral psychologist who began his career in mathematics and philosophy. He spent most of his career at the University of Washington , where he became a full professor and then an emeritus professor in psychology.
