  2. Stacking fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_fault

    There are two types of stacking faults caused by Frank partial dislocations: intrinsic and extrinsic. An intrinsic stacking fault forms by vacancy agglomeration and there is a missing plane with sequence ABCA_BA_BCA, where BA is the stacking fault. [5] An extrinsic stacking fault is formed from interstitial agglomeration, where there is an ...

  3. Intrinsic and extrinsic properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_and_extrinsic...

    An extrinsic property is not essential or inherent to the subject that is being characterized. For example, mass is an intrinsic property of any physical object , whereas weight is an extrinsic property that depends on the strength of the gravitational field in which the object is placed.

  4. Intrinsic and extrinsic properties (philosophy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_and_extrinsic...

    David Lewis offered a list of criteria that should condense the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic properties (numbers and italics added): [1]. A sentence or statement or proposition that ascribes intrinsic properties to something is entirely about that thing; whereas an ascription of extrinsic properties to something is not entirely about that thing, though it may well be about some ...

  5. Anatomical terms of muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_muscle

    Intrinsic muscles have their origin in the part of the body that they act on, and are contained within that part. [17] Extrinsic muscles have their origin outside of the part of the body that they act on. [18] Examples are the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue, and those of the hand.

  6. S-type star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-type_star

    S-type stars are intermediate between carbon stars and normal giants. They can be grouped into two classes: intrinsic S stars, which owe their spectra to convection of fusion products and s-process elements to the surface; and extrinsic S stars, which are formed through mass transfer in a binary system.

  7. Identity of indiscernibles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_of_indiscernibles

    For example, the property of being an aunt is extrinsic while the property of having a mass of 60 kg is intrinsic. [16] [17] If the identity of indiscernibles is defined only in terms of intrinsic pure properties, one cannot regard two books lying on a table as distinct when they are intrinsically identical.

  8. Instrumental and intrinsic value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_and_intrinsic...

    In moral philosophy, instrumental and intrinsic value are the distinction between what is a means to an end and what is as an end in itself. [1] Things are deemed to have instrumental value (or extrinsic value [2]) if they help one achieve a particular end; intrinsic values, by contrast, are understood to be desirable in and of themselves.

  9. Motivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation

    Extrinsic motivation is based on external factors, like rewards obtained by completing an activity. The distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is based on the source or origin of the motivation. Intrinsic motivation comes from within the individual, who engages in an activity out of enjoyment, curiosity, or a sense of fulfillment.
