sense of rotation

The arrows show the sense of rotation of the patterns.

The sense of rotation of hurricanes is influenced by the Earth's rotation.

The sense of rotation of these currents may either be cyclonic or anticyclonic.

Exactly at the equator, however, there would be no preferred sense of rotation, Dr. Cane said.

There was a moment of transition, a perceptual jolt followed by a disorientating sense of rotation.

Clocks traditionally follow this sense of rotation because of the clock's predecessor: the sundial.

Assuming that the northern part of M82 is nearer to us, which most literature assumes, the observed sense of rotation implies trailing arms.

A clockwise sense of rotation is found around "hills" in the northern hemisphere and "valleys" in the southern hemisphere.

The inside of this cover is provided with toothed grooves running vertical, i.e. crosswise to the sense of rotation of the rotor.

The behaviour of the ferrite depends on the sense of rotation with respect to the bias field, and hence is different for microwave signals travelling in opposite directions.

One way to describe polarization is by giving the semi-major and semi-minor axes of the polarization ellipse, its orientation, and the sense of rotation (See the above figure).

Most kinematic indicators are based on deformation in simple shear and infer sense of rotation of the finite strain axes with respect to the incremental strain axes.

When the plasma jets hit the inner magnetosphere, vortices with opposite sense of rotation appear and reappear on either side of the plasma jet, they generate plasma vortices.

If the substituents are numbered from 1 (highest priority) to 4 (lowest priority), then the sense of rotation of a curve passing through 1, 2 and 3 distinguishes the stereoisomers.

Then, when the Sun moves in the sky (east to south to west), the shadow cast on the opposite side of the sundial moves with the same sense of rotation (west to north to east).

The bias field is weaker than that necessary to cause resonance at the operating frequency, but is instead designed to give the ferrite zero permeability for one sense of rotation of the microwave signal field.

Drawbacks of counter-rotating propellers come from the fact that, in order to reverse sense of rotation of one propeller, a gearbox needs to be used or the engine or engine installation must be different.

One can intuitively understand this effect by using the analogy between an electron and a spinning tennis ball, which deviates from its straight path in air in a direction depending on the sense of rotation (the Magnus effect).

Its round form, topped by a rotunda, is the hinge on which the whole project turns, re-enacting at large scale the sense of rotation provided by the small rotundas Mr. Graves loves to use inside his buildings.

A center with a clockwise sense of rotation is an R or rectus center and a center with a counterclockwise sense of rotation is an S or sinister center.

The two stereoisomers are identified with the prefixes '-' and '-', according to the sense of rotation: -glyceraldehyde is dextrorotatory (rotates the polarization axis clockwise), while -glyceraldehyde is levorotatory (rotates it counterclockwise).

Specifically, if one freezes a right-handed wave in time, when one curls the fingers of one's right hand around the helix, the thumb will point in the direction which the helix progresses given that sense of rotation.

In particular, the direction of motion with respect to the sense of rotation of the central body is relevant because co-and counter-propagating waves carry a "gravitomagnetic" time delay Δt which could be, in principle, be measured if S is known.

When games move from one region to another, they tend to initially preserve their original sense of rotation, but a region with a dominant sense of rotation may adapt a migrated game to its own sensibilities.

Like the direction of a vector a plane associated with a bivector has a direction, a circulation or a sense of rotation in the plane, which takes two values seen as clockwise and counterclockwise when viewed from viewpoint not in the plane.
