  2. Scaling (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_(geometry)

    Each iteration of the Sierpinski triangle contains triangles related to the next iteration by a scale factor of 1/2. In affine geometry, uniform scaling (or isotropic scaling [1]) is a linear transformation that enlarges (increases) or shrinks (diminishes) objects by a scale factor that is the same in all directions (isotropically).

  3. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    The distributions of a wide variety of physical, biological, and human-made phenomena approximately follow a power law over a wide range of magnitudes: these include the sizes of craters on the moon and of solar flares, [2] cloud sizes, [3] the foraging pattern of various species, [4] the sizes of activity patterns of neuronal populations, [5] the frequencies of words in most languages ...

  4. Kolmogorov microscales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_microscales

    where ε is the average rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass, and; ν is the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.; Typical values of the Kolmogorov length scale, for atmospheric motion in which the large eddies have length scales on the order of kilometers, range from 0.1 to 10 millimeters; for smaller flows such as in laboratory systems, η may be much smaller.

  5. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    Then we are told that the 1st part is not sped up, so s1 = 1, while the 2nd part is sped up 5 times, so s2 = 5, the 3rd part is sped up 20 times, so s3 = 20, and the 4th part is sped up 1.6 times, so s4 = 1.6. By using Amdahl's law, the overall speedup is

    Examples of algorithms for this task include New Edge-Directed Interpolation (NEDI), [1] [2] Edge-Guided Image Interpolation (EGGI), [3] Iterative Curvature-Based Interpolation (ICBI), [citation needed] and Directional Cubic Convolution Interpolation (DCCI). [4] A study found that DCCI had the best scores in PSNR and SSIM on a series of test ...

  7. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building. [1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing. The scale can be expressed in four ways: in words (a lexical scale), as a ratio, as a fraction and as a graphical (bar) scale.

  8. Kleiber's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber's_law

    Kleiber's plot comparing body size to metabolic rate for a variety of species. [1]Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, states, after many observation that, for a vast number of animals, an animal's Basal Metabolic Rate scales to the 3 ⁄ 4 power of the animal's mass.

  9. Fractal dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_dimension

    The terms fractal dimension and fractal were coined by Mandelbrot in 1975, [16] about a decade after he published his paper on self-similarity in the coastline of Britain. . Various historical authorities credit him with also synthesizing centuries of complicated theoretical mathematics and engineering work and applying them in a new way to study complex geometries that defied description in ...
