  2. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    Prentice's rule, named so after the optician Charles F. Prentice, is a formula used to determine the amount of induced prism in a lens: = where: P is the amount of prism correction (in prism dioptres) c is decentration (the distance between the pupil centre and the lens's optical centre, in millimetres)

  3. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Ophthalmology. Esotropia is a form of strabismus in which one or both eyes turn inward. The condition can be constantly present, or occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed" appearance. [1] It is the opposite of exotropia and usually involves more severe axis deviation than esophoria.

  4. Effective medium approximations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_medium...

    In materials science, effective medium approximations ( EMA) or effective medium theory ( EMT) pertain to analytical or theoretical modeling that describes the macroscopic properties of composite materials. EMAs or EMTs are developed from averaging the multiple values of the constituents that directly make up the composite material.

  5. Borderline tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_tree

    It is a concept that comes from variable radius plots, or point sampling. It happens when a tree cannot be easily determined as in or out when using a prism or angle gauge. Borderline trees occur only when the distance from the sampling point to the center of the tree is equal to the DBH times plot radius factor (PRF).

  6. Vincenty's formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty's_formulae

    Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid , and hence are more accurate than methods that assume a spherical Earth ...

  7. Decay correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decay_correction

    The formula for decay correcting is: [1] where is the original activity count at time zero, is the activity at time "t", "λ" is the decay constant, and "t" is the elapsed time. The decay constant is where " " is the half-life of the radioactive material of interest.

  8. Slope mass rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_mass_rating

    SMR index calculation. SMR uses the same first five scoring categories as RMR: Uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock, Rock Quality Designation (or RQD), Joint spacing, Joint condition (the sum of five sub-scores), and; Groundwater conditions.

  9. Sight reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_reduction

    First calculate the altitude of the celestial body using the equation of circle of equal altitude: sin ⁡ ( H c ) = sin ⁡ ( L a t ) ⋅ sin ⁡ ( D e c ) + cos ⁡ ( L a t ) ⋅ cos ⁡ ( D e c ) ⋅ cos ⁡ ( L H A ) . {\displaystyle \sin(Hc)=\sin(Lat)\cdot \sin(Dec)+\cos(Lat)\cdot \cos(Dec)\cdot \cos(LHA).}

  10. Horror fusionis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horror_fusionis

    When the eye position is fully corrected (for example after surgical alignment of the eyes) or when the patient is provided with the best achievable prism correction, the patient does not experience binocular fusion and, instead, sees a double image that is very close to the fixation image and is perceived as "dancing around" it.

  11. K correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_correction

    K correction converts measurements of astronomical objects into their respective rest frames. The correction acts on that object's observed magnitude (or equivalently, its flux).
