Vector-field consistency

The consistency vector-fields emanate from field-generators designated as pivots (for example, players) and field intensity attenuates as distance grows from these pivots in concentric or square-like regions.


AltiVec

Unlike SSE2, AltiVec supports a special RGB "pixel" data type, but it does not operate on 64-bit double precision floats, and there is no way to move data directly between scalar and vector registers.

Cross product

Oliver Heaviside in England and Josiah Willard Gibbs, a professor at Yale University in Connecticut, also felt that quaternion methods were too cumbersome, often requiring the scalar or vector part of a result to be extracted.

Dirofilaria tenuis

tenuis is introduced to the definitive host (either a raccoon or, as in some rare cases, a human) as a larva when the vector, most commonly an Aedes or Anopheles mosquito, takes a blood meal and the parasite enters the host through the bite wound.

Halbach array

The mathematical transform which shifts the phase of all components of some function by \scriptstyle\frac{\pi}{2} is called a Hilbert transform; the components of the magnetization vector can therefore be any Hilbert transform pair (the simplest of which is simply \scriptstyle\sin

Infinite-dimensional vector function

Moreover, for any set A, there exist infinite-dimensional vector spaces having the (Hamel) dimension of the cardinality of A (e.g., the space of functions A\rightarrow K with finitely-many nonzero elements, where K is the desired field of scalars).

Light field

In computer graphics, this vector-valued function of 3D space is called the vector irradiance field (Arvo, 1994).

Magnetorotational instability

In addition to hydrodynamical forces such as pressure and gravity, an element of magnetized fluid also feels the Lorentz force \boldsymbol J\times\boldsymbol B\ , where \boldsymbol J is the current density and \boldsymbol B is the magnetic field vector.

Natural Earth

All versions of Natural Earth raster and vector map data on the Natural Earth website are in the public domain.

Neutral buoyancy simulation as a training aid

It is the inability to use weight in any vector in EVA coupled with the encumbrance of the pressure suit that makes task performance difficult.

Random seed

A random seed (or seed state, or just seed) is a number (or vector) used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator.

Relativistic dynamics

Einstein rejected the Newtonian concept and identified t as the fourth coordinate of a space-time four-vector.
