Holyrood estate

Owen Hatherley describes the estate as a "straightforward scattering of low and medium-rise Modernist blocks, using the soft-Brutalist vernacular of stock-brick and concrete."

Leonid Mandelstam

In 1918, Mandelstam theoretically predicted the fine structure splitting in Rayleigh scattering due to light scattering on thermal acoustic waves.

For the long period he worked with Professor Vladimir Gribov, laying a basis for a field theory description of deep inelastic scattering and annihilation (Gribov-Lipatov evolution equations, later known as DGLAP, 1972).

Light scattering

Periodicity or structural repetition in the scattering medium will cause interference in the spectrum of scattered light.

Monte Carlo methods for electron transport

These scattering rates are very often derived using the Born approximation, in which a scattering event is merely a transition between two momentum states of the carrier involved.

National Science Day

Sir C. V. Raman worked at Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, West Bengal, India during 1907 to 1933 on various topics of Physics making discovery of the celebrated effect on scattering of light in 1928, which bears his name and that brought many accolades including the Nobel Prize in 1930.

Ochronosis

However, macroscopically the affected tissues appear bluish grey because of a light scattering phenomenon known as the Tyndall effect.

After the polio epidemics in the United States ended, the March of Dimes had changed its mission from polio to birth defects; most of the special rehabilitation hospitals and clinics devoted to polio survivors were closing; clinical specialists in polio were scattering.

Railway accidents in Vietnam

1982 - In what has been called "the worst tragedy" in Vietnam's railway history, over 200 people were killed when a train running from Nha Trang to Ho Chi Minh City lost control at speeds of over 100 km/h and derailed near Bàu Cá, Đồng Nai Province, scattering the locomotives and coaches throughout the nearby terrain.

Seneca, Wood County, Wisconsin

The Marsh is wet & unfit for cultivation & has upon it small Islands (so called) of hard land with a few trees; Scattering Pines, Tamarack & Blk Oak are found nearly all over it so much so that we almost invariably found bearing trees for our corners.
