  2. A Conflict of Visions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Conflict_of_Visions

    The rest of the book describes two basic visions, the "unconstrained" and "constrained" visions, which are thought to capture opposite ends of a continuum of political thought on which one can place many contemporary Westerners, in addition to their intellectual ancestors of the past few centuries.

  3. Constrained writing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_writing

    Notable examples of constrained comics: . Gustave Verbeek's The Upside Downs of Little Lady Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo, a weekly 6-panel comic strip in which the first half of the story was illustrated and captioned right-side-up, then the reader would turn the page up-side-down, and the inverted illustrations with additional captions describing the scenes told the second half of the story ...

  4. Constrained optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constrained_optimization

    If the constrained problem has only equality constraints, the method of Lagrange multipliers can be used to convert it into an unconstrained problem whose number of variables is the original number of variables plus the original number of equality constraints. Alternatively, if the constraints are all equality constraints and are all linear ...

  5. Glacier morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_morphology

    At the margin between glacial ice and water, ice calving takes place as glaciers begin to fracture, and icebergs break off from the large masses of ice. [ 11 ] [ 9 ] Iceberg calving is a major contributor to sea level rise , but the ocean is not the only place that can experience ice calving. [ 11 ]

  6. Specific storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_storage

    For a confined aquifer or aquitard, storativity is the vertically integrated specific storage value. Specific storage is the volume of water released from one unit volume of the aquifer under one unit decline in head. This is related to both the compressibility of the aquifer and the compressibility of the water itself.

  7. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    The relationship between the use of generalized coordinates and Cartesian coordinates to characterize the movement of a mechanical system can be illustrated by considering the constrained dynamics of a simple pendulum. [12] [13] A simple pendulum consists of a mass M hanging from a pivot point so that it is constrained to move on a circle of ...

  8. Quantum dot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_dot

    The Coulomb interaction between confined carriers can also be studied by numerical means when results unconstrained by asymptotic approximations are pursued. [120] Besides confinement in all three dimensions (that is, a quantum dot), other quantum confined semiconductors include:

  9. Microcanonical ensemble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcanonical_ensemble

    Like entropy, there are multiple ways to understand temperature in the microcanonical ensemble. More generally, the correspondence between these ensemble-based definitions and their thermodynamic counterparts is not perfect, particularly for finite systems. The microcanonical pressure and chemical potential are given by: [9]
