English: This pictorial periodic table is colorful, boring, and packed with information. In addition to the element's name, symbol, and atomic number, each element box has a drawing of one of the element's main human uses or natural occurrences. The table is color-coded to show the chemical groupings.
The cubic mean is also used in biology to measure the mean dimensions of spherical bacteria [8] and of larger animals that are approximately spheroidal in shape. [9] In this case using the conventional arithmetic mean will not give an accurate result because the size of a spherical bacterium increases as the cube of the radius.
is the mean size of the ordered (crystalline) domains, which may be smaller or equal to the grain size, which may be smaller or equal to the particle size; is a dimensionless shape factor, with a value close to unity. The shape factor has a typical value of about 0.9, but varies with the actual shape of the crystallite;
The most common shape factor is the aspect ratio, a function of the largest diameter and the smallest diameter orthogonal to it: = The normalized aspect ratio varies from approaching zero for a very elongated particle, such as a grain in a cold-worked metal, to near unity for an equiaxed grain.
In three-dimensional geometry, the girth of a geometric object, in a certain direction, is the perimeter of its parallel projection in that direction. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For instance, the girth of a unit cube in a direction parallel to one of the three coordinate axes is four: it projects to a unit square , which has four as its perimeter.
[1] or volume-weighted mean size [2]). It is the mean diameter, which is directly obtained in particle size measurements, where the measured signal is proportional to the volume of the particles. The most prominent examples are laser diffraction [3] and acoustic spectroscopy (Coulter counter). The De Brouckere mean is defined in terms of the ...
In graph theory, the girth of an undirected graph is the length of a shortest cycle contained in the graph. [1] If the graph does not contain any cycles (that is, it is a forest), its girth is defined to be infinity. [2] For example, a 4-cycle (square) has girth 4. A grid has girth 4 as well, and a triangular mesh has girth 3.
In mathematical morphology, granulometry is an approach to compute a size distribution of grains in binary images, using a series of morphological opening operations. It was introduced by Georges Matheron in the 1960s, and is the basis for the characterization of the concept of size in mathematical morphology.
