    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blucher_shoe

    A blucher (/ ˈ b l uː tʃ ər / or / ˈ b l uː k ər /, German pronunciation:, Blücher) is a style of shoe with open lacing, its vamp made of a single piece of leather ("one cut"), with shoelace eyelets tabs sewn on top. [1] The blucher is similar to a derby since both feature open lacing, in contrast to the Oxford shoe, which uses closed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derby_shoe

    In American English the derby shoe may be referred to as a 'blucher', although technically the blucher is a different design of shoe where only eyelet tabs (not larger quarters) are sewn onto a single-piece vamp. In modern colloquial English the derby shoe may be referred to as 'bucks' when the upper is made of buckskin. [3] "

  4. Oxford shoe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_shoe

    Oxford shoes are also known for their variation or style. The Cap-Toe Oxford is the most well-known, although 'Whole Cut', 'Plain Toe', and a variation of 'Brogue' Oxfords are commonly referred to styles. [5] Shoes with closed lacing (Oxfords/Balmorals) are considered more formal than those with open lacing (Bluchers/Derbys). [6]

  5. Reflection principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_principle

    Paul Bernays used a reflection principle as an axiom for one version of set theory (not Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory, which is a weaker theory). His reflection principle stated roughly that if is a class with some property, then one can find a transitive set such that has the same property when considered as a subset of the ...

    This has come to be known as emission theory. [6] Hero demonstrated the equality of the angle of incidence and reflection on the grounds that this is the shortest path from the object to the observer. On this basis, he was able to define the fixed relation between an object and its image in a plane mirror.

  7. Monk shoe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monk_shoe

    The monk shoe is a moderately formal shoe: less formal than a full Oxford (American: Balmoral); but more so than an open Derby (American: Blücher). [4] [5] In between these, it is one of the main categories of men's shoes. The monk shoe is described by some specialists in the fashion sector as the most accomplished men's dress shoe.

  8. Helmholtz reciprocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmholtz_reciprocity

    Intuitively, "If I can see you, you can see me." Like the principles of thermodynamics, in suitable conditions, this principle is reliable enough to use as a check on the correct performance of experiments, in contrast with the usual situation in which the experiments are tests of a proposed law. [1] [12]

  9. Reflective subcategory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_subcategory

    The morphism is called the A-reflection arrow. (Although often, for the sake of brevity, we speak about A B {\displaystyle A_{B}} only as being the A -reflection of B ). This is equivalent to saying that the embedding functor E : A ↪ B {\displaystyle E\colon \mathbf {A} \hookrightarrow \mathbf {B} } is a right adjoint.
