  Parallel axes rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In physics, the parallel axes rule can be used to determine the moment of inertia of a rigid object about any axis, given the moment of inertia of the object about the parallel axis through the object's center of mass and the perpendicular distance between the axes.
This rule can be applied with the stretch rule and perpendicular axes rule to find moments of inertia for a variety of shapes.

These rules are sometimes dignified by the name of laws of nature, but they have ~relation to our present state of knowledge and to the degree of skill with which we have succeeded in giving more or less compact expression to it.
Successive halfturns about intersecting axes a, b are equivalent to a rotation about the common perpendicular to a, b at their intersection, Of amount equal to twice the acute angle between them, in the direction from a to b.
Successive half-turns about two skew axes a, b are equivalent to a twist about a screw whose axis is the common perpendicular to a, b, the translation being double the shortest distance, and the angle of rotation being twice the acute angle between a, b, in the direction from a to b.

 Stretch rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, the stretch rule states that the moment of inertia of a rigid object is unchanged when the object is stretched parallel to the axis of rotation, without changing the distribution of mass.
That is, cylinders oriented parallel to the axis must be preserved.
This rule can be applied with the parallel axes rule and the perpendicular axes rule to find moments of inertia for a variety of shapes.

In fact, if in the case of composition of coaxial motions the axes are dispersed by negligibly small distances while preserving their parallelism, then the laws of algebraic composition of angles of rotation must be violated, because there is no dividing line between coaxial and non- coaxial motions.
Algebraic composition of parallel vectors, orthogonal and axial coefficients, parallel forces and masses is governed by the same geometrical law, viz., that of relation of three points, or the lever principle.
When two parallel angular velocities are composed, which are particular cases of orthogonal coefficients, the velocity vector of the centre of the sum angular velocity must be equal to zero.

The Ottoman Empire was a multi-ethnic state that existed from 1299 to 1923 (624 years), one of the largest empires to rule the borders of the Mediterranean Sea.
It was established by a tribe of Oghuz Turks in western Anatolia and ruled by the Osmanli dynasty.
In diplomatic circles it was often referred to as the Sublime Porte or simply as the Porte, from the French translation of the Ottoman name Bâb-i-âlî "high gate", due to the greeting ceremony the sultan held for foreign ambassadors at the Palace Gate.

If the type of rule in the second field is an a then the value in the third field indicates an exact variable value and, as with the logistic rule, the fourth field is inconsequential.
The rule is defined by all variables avaiable to the model, that is, a range is defined for all variables even if they are not particularly useful in prediction.
In a range rule a number of variables may be regarded as irrelevant, that is, all possible predictor variables need not be used in the rule.

While implementing the parallel coordinates system in VizCraft, special consideration was given to two aspects: user interactivity for allowing interactive data exploration, and modularity, which is necessary for adapting the system in the future to the needs of different applications, not just those specific to HSCT design.

Imperfect coating response was distinguished from substrate birefringence in the measurements in Figures 1and 2 by crossing the PBS pass direction against parallel input and output sheet polarizers.
However, single-pass compound-angle effects are reported [6] in rear-projection monitors that reduce box depth by using a reflective polarizer [7, 8] on the inside surface of the projection screen in order to make an extra fold in the imaging beam [6, 9].
Even when surface tilts are restricted to the S or P axes of the central ray, compound-angle effects can cause first-order depolarization in off-center rays; this depolarization scales linearly with the difference in skew propagation angle between the off-center ray and the principal ray (linear in amplitude, quadratic in intensity).
