  2. Z-line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-line

    Z-line may refer to: J/Z (New York City Subway service) Z-line (IRC), a type of Internet Relay Chat access ban; Gastroesophageal junction, that joins the oesophagus to the stomach; Z-line, a border that separates and links sarcomeres within a skeletal muscle

  3. Sarcomere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcomere

    A sarcomere is defined as the segment between two neighbouring Z-lines (or Z-discs). In electron micrographs of cross-striated muscle, the Z-line (from the German "zwischen" meaning between) appears in between the I-bands as a dark line that anchors the actin myofilaments. Surrounding the Z-line is the region of the I-band (for isotropic). I ...

    The Riemann zeta function ζ(z) plotted with domain coloring. [1] The pole at = and two zeros on the critical line.. The Riemann zeta function or Euler–Riemann zeta function, denoted by the Greek letter ζ (), is a mathematical function of a complex variable defined as () = = = + + + for ⁡ >, and its analytic continuation elsewhere.

    atomic number (Z) The number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It is most often used to classify elements within the periodic table. atomic orbital atomic packing factor atomic physics A branch of physics that studies atoms as isolated systems of electrons and an atomic nucleus. Compare nuclear physics. atomic structure atomic weight (A)

  6. Characteristic impedance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_impedance

    The input impedance of an infinite line is equal to the characteristic impedance since the transmitted wave is never reflected back from the end. Equivalently: The characteristic impedance of a line is that impedance which, when terminating an arbitrary length of line at its output, produces an input impedance of equal value. This is so because ...

  7. Z-pinch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-pinch

    In fusion power research, the Z-pinch (zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system that uses an electric current in the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses it (see pinch). These systems were originally referred to simply as pinch or Bennett pinch (after Willard Harrison Bennett ), but the introduction of the θ-pinch ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_field_theory

    For example, the rational numbers, the real numbers and the p-adic numbers have characteristic 0, while the finite field Z p with p being prime has characteristic p. Subfield A subfield of a field F is a subset of F which is closed under the field operation + and * of F and which, with these operations, forms itself a field.

  9. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).
