 elongation - HighBeam Encyclopedia
When a planet lies on the line drawn from the earth to the sun, its elongation is 0° and is said to be in conjunction.
Elongation is measured east (eastern quadrature) or west (western quadrature) from the sun.
The superior planets can have elongations between 0° and 180°; the elongations of the inferior planets are limited by their proximity to the sun.

Elongation is the angular distance between the sun, and another object such a moon or a planet as seen from earth.
Elongation is measured from earth as the angle between the sun and the planet.
The two most favorable times to observe an inferior planet are in its eastern or western greatest elongation, the two times when the planet appears farthest away from the sun as seen from earth.

 InterPro: IPR000640 Translation elongation factor EFG/EF2, C-terminal
Translation elongation factors are responsible for two main processes during protein synthesis on the ribosome [ 1, 2, 3 ].
Elongation factors are responsible for achieving accuracy of translation and both EF1A and EF2 are remarkably conserved throughout evolution.
It resembles the topology of domain III found in these elongation factors, with which it forms the C-terminal block, but these two domains cannot be superimposed [ 6 ].

 Mercury Chaser's Calculator
Elongations alternate between east and west of the Sun along the ecliptic.
At that location and date, the ecliptic was steeply inclined with regard to the horizon, so even though the angular elongation at this apparition was a modest 18.2°, Mercury was high in the sky after the sunset (not to mention close to Jupiter and Venus, making it easy to locate).
Mercury's elongation from the Sun on this date is 24.3°, much greater than in March, but recall that elongation is measured along the ecliptic.

 Engineering Stress-strain Curve
The strain used for the engineering stress-strain curve is the average linear strain, which is obtained by dividing the elongation of the gage length of the specimen, d, by its original length.
Since both the stress and the strain are obtained by dividing the load and elongation by constant factors, the load-elongation curve will have the same shape as the engineering stress-strain curve.
Another way to avoid the complication from necking is to base the percentage elongation on the uniform strain out to the point at which necking begins.

 High-temperature resistant elongation measuring system formed of ceramic materials - Patent 4699010
Finally, elongation measuring pickups for higher temperature ranges are also known, such as are described in European patent No. 0 088 278.
It is accordingly an object of the invention to provide a hightemperature resistant elongation measuring system formed of ceramic materials, which overcomes the hereinafore-mentioned disadvantages of the heretofore-known devices of this general type, and which is suited for temperature ranges in which metals can no longer be used as mechanically stable structural parts.
While this requires preparation of a calibration curve of the capacity as a function of the spacing between the mounts, it simplifies the construction of the pickup and reduces the number of required parts.

 Axis Elongation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
During early development, several morphogenetic motors have been shown to contribute to axial elongation in Xenopus, including epiboly by radial intercalation, convergent exttension by mediolateral intercalation, and autonomous elongation of ventral tissues.
We have recently used targeted injections, tissue explants, and grafting experiments to demonstrate a role for non-canonical Wnt signals in coordinating mediolateral intercalations in both mesoderm and ectoderm.
A serendiptious finding from these experiments was that neural and mesodermal convergent extension are cooperative in nature, such that a failure of neural elongation secondarily inhibits the elongation of the mesoderm.
