Cissoid of Diocles traced by points M with ¯ = ¯ Animation visualizing the Cissoid of Diocles. In geometry, the cissoid of Diocles (from Ancient Greek κισσοειδής (kissoeidēs) 'ivy-shaped'; named for Diocles) is a cubic plane curve notable for the property that it can be used to construct two mean proportionals to a given ratio.
The restoration had cost $1.8 million as of mid-2018, including $800,000 provided by the state of Maryland. [21] The Western Maryland Scenic General Manager estimated the final cost would be $2.4 million. [23] In September 2019, the project was again halted due to a lack of funds shortly after the front drivers were attached to the engine. [24]
Image 1: Davenport possible axes for steps 1 and 3 given Z as the step 2. The general problem of decomposing a rotation into three composed movements about intrinsic axes was studied by P. Davenport, under the name "generalized Euler angles", but later these angles were named "Davenport angles" by M. Shuster and L. Markley.
The resulting orientation of Body 3-2-1 sequence (around the capitalized axis in the illustration of Tait–Bryan angles) is equivalent to that of lab 1-2-3 sequence (around the lower-cased axis), where the airplane is rolled first (lab-x axis), and then nosed up around the horizontal lab-y axis, and finally rotated around the vertical lab-z ...
For the sine function, we can handle other values. If θ > π /2, then θ > 1. But sin θ ≤ 1 (because of the Pythagorean identity), so sin θ < θ. So we have < <. For negative values of θ we have, by the symmetry of the sine function

If the points are sequentially numbered and located at positions r 1, r 2, r 3, etc. then bond vectors are defined by u 1 = r 2 − r 1, u 2 = r 3 − r 2, and u i = r i+1 − r i, more generally. [2] This is the case for kinematic chains or amino acids in a protein structure. In these cases, one is often interested in the half-planes defined ...
The Stokes I, Q, U and V parameters. The Stokes parameters are a set of values that describe the polarization state of electromagnetic radiation.They were defined by George Gabriel Stokes in 1851, [1] [2] as a mathematically convenient alternative to the more common description of incoherent or partially polarized radiation in terms of its total intensity (I), (fractional) degree of ...
