Expression vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Expression vectors are often specifically designed to contain regulatory sequences that act as enhancer and promoter regions, and lead to efficient transcription of the gene that is carried on the expression vector. Once the expression vector is inside the cell, the protein that is encoded by the gene is produced by the cellular transcription and translation machinery. Expression vectors are used for molecular biology techniques such as site-directed mutagenesis. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Expression_vector   (205 words)

Vector (spatial) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A spatial vector is a special case of a tensor and is also analogous to a four-vector in relativity (and is sometimes therefore called a three-vector in reference to the three spatial dimensions, although this term also has another meaning for p-vectors of differential geometry). The length or magnitude or norm of the vector a is denoted by The force and displacement are vectors, the magnitudes are scalars, and the coordinates are neither. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_(spatial)   (3072 words)

Vectors can be contrasted with scalar quantities such as distance, speed, energy, time, temperature, charge, power, work, and mass, which have magnitude, but no direction (they are invariant under coordinate rotations). The length or magnitude or norm of the vector a is denoted by en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_(spatial)   (3072 words)

Column vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In linear algebra, a column vector is an m × 1 matrix, i.e. The set of all column vectors forms a vector space which is the dual space to the set of all row vectors. Matrix multiplication involves the action of multiplying each column vector of one matrix by each row vector of another matrix. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Column_vector   (101 words)

Darboux vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Darboux vector provides a concise way of interpreting curvature &; and torsion &; geometrically: curvature is the measure of the rotation of the Frenet frame about the binormal unit vector, whereas torsion is the measure of the rotation of the Frenet frame about the tangent unit vector. As it does so, the object's motion will be described by two vectors: a translation vector, and a rotation vector w, which is an areal velocity vector: the Darboux vector. Each Frenet vector moves about an "origin" which is the center of the rigid object (pick some point within the object and call it its center). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Darboux_vector   (244 words)

Vector space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Given a vector space V, any nonempty subset W of V which is closed under addition and scalar multiplication is called a subspace of V. It is easy to see that subspaces of V are vector spaces (over the same field) in their own right. A vector space (or linear space) is the basic object of study in the branch of mathematics called linear algebra. A vector space over the field of complex numbers C is called a complex vector space. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_space   (244 words)

Logarithmic spiral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In differential geometric terms the spiral can be defined as a curve c(t), having a constant angle θ between the radius or path vector and the tangential vector Usually the sun is the only light source and then this behaviour will result in a straight line. Insects approach a light source in a logarithmic spiral because they are used to having the light source at a constant angle against their flight path. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Logarithmic_spiral   (244 words)

Vector Related concepts include: four-vector (the generalization to space and time in relativity), pseudovector, vector calculus, vector bundle, unit vector, and normal vector. Vector (computing) is the method that malicious code (viruses, etc) uses to propagate itself. Vector (spatial) : In physics and engineering, vector most often refers specifically to an object that has a special relationship to the spatial coordinates/directions, i.e. www.sciencedaily.com /encyclopedia/vector   (244 words)

Basic Vector Operations Vector addition involves finding vector components, adding them and finding the polar form of the resultant. Vectors are resolved into components by use of the triangle trig relationships. This is called the polar form of the vector. hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu /hbase/vect.html   (244 words)

Vector quantization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In data compression, vector quantization is a quantization technique often used in lossy data compression in which the basic idea is to code or replace with a key, values from a multidimensional vector space into values from a discrete subspace of lower dimension. Twin vector quantization (VQF) is part of the MPEG-4 standard dealing with time domain weighted interleaved vector quantization. The lower-space vector requires less storage space and the data is thus compressed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_quantization   (170 words)

Vector space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Given a vector space V, any nonempty subset W of V which is closed under addition and scalar multiplication is called a subspace of V. It is easy to see that subspaces of V are vector spaces (over the same field) in their own right. Thus vector spaces over a given field are fixed up to isomorphism by a single cardinal number (called the dimension of the vector space) representing the size of the basis. A vector space with a topology compatible with the operations — such that addition and scalar multiplication are continuous maps— is called a topological vector space. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_space   (1657 words)

Normed vector space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The definition of many normed spaces (in particular, Banach spaces) involves a seminorm defined on a vector space and then the normed space is defined as the quotient space by the subspace of elements of seminorm zero. A semi normed vector space is a 2-tuple (V,p) where V is a vector space and p a semi norm on V. A surjective isometry between the normed vector spaces V and W is called a isometric isomorphism, and V and W are called isometrically isomorphic. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Normed_vector_space   (899 words)

Wave vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The wave vector is most useful for generalizing the equation of a single wave into a description of a family of waves. The wave vector has magnitude indicating wavenumber (inversely related to wavelength), and the direction of the vector indicates the direction of wave propagation. As long as the family of waves all travel in the same direction and with the same wavelength, a single wave vector is valid for the entire family. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wave_vector   (271 words)

Plane wave - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the vector wave equation of electromagnetism, a is the vector for the electric or magnetic field (and is orthogonal to k, for an isotropic medium). In the physics of wave propagation (especially electromagnetic waves), a plane wave (also spelled planewave) is a constant-frequency wave whose wavefronts (surfaces of constant phase) are infinite parallel planes normal to the phase velocity vector. where i is the imaginary unit, k is the wave vector, ω is the angular frequency, and a is the (complex) amplitude. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Plane_wave   (281 words)

Vector field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vector fields are often used in physics to model for example the speed and direction of a moving fluid throughout space, or the strength and direction of some force, such as the magnetic or gravitational force, as it changes from point to point. Vector fields should be compared to scalar fields, which associate a number or scalar to every point in space (or every point of some manifold). Given a particle in a gravitational vector field, where each vector represents the force acting on the particle at this point in space, the curve integral is the work done on the particle when it travels along a certain path. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_field   (281 words)

The Physics Classroom The magnitude of a vector in a scaled vector diagram is depicted by the length of the arrow. The magnitude of a vector is represented by the length of the arrow; a scale is indicated (such as, 1 cm = 5 miles) and the arrow is drawn the proper length according to the chosen scale. Vector diagrams were introduced and used in earlier units to depict the forces acting upon an object; such diagrams are known as free-body diagrams. www.physicsclassroom.com /Class/vectors/U3L1a.html   (1113 words)

Differential geometry of curves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The normal vector, sometimes called the curvature vector, indicates the deviance of the curve from being a straight line. The main contemporary application is in physics as part of vector calculus. The solution is the set of Frenet vectors describing the curve specified by the generalized curvature functionsχ en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Curvature_vector   (1112 words)

Xenosaga (Organizations) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vector is also the employer of Shion Uzuki, one of the main characters in the Xenosaga series. The fact that Vector is one of its primany investors explains why most of the equipment installed onboard the Durandal is highly advanced and made by Vector. Vector Industries is the largest business conglomerate in the Galaxy Federation and an integral part of modern civilization. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_Industries   (2318 words)

Orbital state vectors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia State vectors are excellent for pre-launch orbital predictions when combined with time (epoch) expressed as an offset to the launch time. Orbital state vectors are equivalent to orbital elements (Keplerian elements) and each can be computed with each other (and used to derive other parameters of the orbit). A time-independent state vector can be combined with the launch time using xxx method in order to arrive at a valid set of orbital elements whereas computed in advance orbital elements are valid only when launch occurs without the slip. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Orbital_state_vectors   (361 words)

Vector - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A biological vector is a mechanism that transmits genes or organisms. Vector (spatial): In physics and engineering, vector most often refers specifically to an object that has a special relationship to the spatial coordinates/directions, that is, an element of a tangent bundle.

Cathode ray tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Vector displays for computers did not noticeably suffer the display artifacts of aliasing and pixelization, but were limited in that they could display only a shape's outline, and only a very small amount of rather largely-drawn text. Vector monitors were used in many computer displays as well as by some late 1970s to mid 1980s arcade games such as Asteroids. The earliest version of the CRT was a cold-cathode diode, a modification of the Crookes tube (used to produce X-rays) with a phosphor-coated screen, sometimes called a Braun tube. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Cathode_ray_tube   (361 words)

Vector (spatial) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A spatial vector is a special case of a tensor and is also analogous to a four-vector in relativity (and is sometimes therefore called a three-vector in reference to the three spatial dimensions, although this term also has another meaning for p-vectors of differential geometry). The cross product (also vector product or outer product) differs from the dot product primarily in that the result of a cross product of two vectors is a vector. Vectors can be contrasted with scalar quantities such as distance, speed, energy, time, temperature, charge, power, work, and mass, which have magnitude, but no direction (they are invariant under coordinate rotations). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vector_(spatial)   (361 words)
