  2. Chromosomal inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromosomal_inversion

    An inversion is a chromosome rearrangement in which a segment of a chromosome becomes inverted within its original position. An inversion occurs when a chromosome undergoes a two breaks within the chromosomal arm, and the segment between the two breaks inserts itself in the opposite direction in the same chromosome arm.

  3. Hypercentric lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercentric_lens

    A hypercentric or pericentric lens is a lens system where the entrance pupil is located in front of the lens, in the space where an object could be located. In a certain region, objects that are further away from the lens produce larger images than objects that are closer to the lens.

  4. Inversion (evolutionary biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(evolutionary...

    In addition to the simple observation that the dorsoventral axes of protostomes and chordates appear to be inverted with respect to each other, molecular biology provides some support for the inversion hypothesis. The most notable piece of evidence comes from analysis of the genes involved in establishing the DV axis in these two groups. [2]

  5. Centromere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centromere

    In other words, the difference between "the whole chromosome is a centrome" and "the chromosome has no centrome" is hazy and usage varies. Beyond "polycentricity" being used more about defects, there is no clear preference in other topics such as evolutionary origin or kinetochore distribution and detailed structure (e.g. as seen in tagging or ...

  6. Inversive geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversive_geometry

    The inversion taking any point P (other than O) to its image P ' also takes P ' back to P, so the result of applying the same inversion twice is the identity transformation which makes it a self-inversion (i.e. an involution). [2] [3] To make the inversion a total function that is also defined for O, it is necessary to introduce a point at ...

  7. Inversion (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(discrete...

    An inversion may be denoted by the pair of places (2, 4) or the pair of elements (5, 2). The inversions of this permutation using element-based notation are: (3, 1), (3, 2), (5, 1), (5, 2), and (5,4). In computer science and discrete mathematics, an inversion in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of their natural order.

  8. Paleostress inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleostress_inversion

    Referring to the paleostress inversion principle, rock masses under stress should exhibit strain at both macroscopic and microscopic scale, while the latter is found at the grain boundaries (interface between crystal grains at the magnitude below 10 2 μm). Strain is revealed from the change in grain size, orientation of grains or migration of ...

  9. Point reflection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_reflection

    In Euclidean geometry, the inversion of a point X with respect to a point P is a point X* such that P is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints X and X*. In other words, the vector from X to P is the same as the vector from P to X*. The formula for the inversion in P is x* = 2p − x. where p, x and x* are the position vectors of P, X ...
