  2. Automatic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_group

    Automatic group. In mathematics, an automatic group is a finitely generated group equipped with several finite-state automata. These automata represent the Cayley graph of the group. That is, they can tell if a given word representation of a group element is in a "canonical form" and can tell if two elements given in canonical words differ by a ...

    1907 — Grouping of the elements to illustrate refractivity: Runs from group 12 on the left to group 13 on the right [113] 1918 — Cherkesov: Two periodic tables: Mn in group 8 rather than group 7 [114] 1920 — Stewart's arrangement of the elements: With 14 lanthanides incorporated [115] 1934 — Romanoff's system: Combined spiral-lemniscate ...

  4. Principles of grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_grouping

    The principles of grouping (or Gestalt laws of grouping) are a set of principles in psychology, first proposed by Gestalt psychologists to account for the observation that humans naturally perceive objects as organized patterns and objects, a principle known as Prägnanz. Gestalt psychologists argued that these principles exist because the mind ...

  5. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    The bond angle for water is 104.5°. Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (/ ˈvɛspər, vəˈsɛpər / VESP-ər, [1]: 410 və-SEP-ər[2]) is a model used in chemistry to predict the geometry of individual molecules from the number of electron pairs surrounding their central atoms. [3] It is also named the Gillespie-Nyholm ...

  6. Stepper motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor

    The circular arrangement of electromagnets is divided into groups, each group called a phase, and there is an equal number of electromagnets per group. The number of groups is chosen by the designer of the stepper motor. The electromagnets of each group are interleaved with the electromagnets of other groups to form a uniform pattern of ...

  7. Respect des fonds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respect_des_fonds

    Respect des fonds, or le respect pour les fonds, is a principle in archival theory that proposes to group collections of archival records according to their fonds (according to the entity by which they were created or from which they were received). It is one of several principles stemming from provenance that have guided archival arrangement ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_classification

    Library classification. A library classification is a system used within a library to organize materials, including books, sound and video recordings, electronic materials, etc., both on shelves and in catalogs and indexes. Each item is typically assigned a call number, which identifies the location of the item within the system.

  9. Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahn–Ingold–Prelog...

    For double bonded molecules, Cahn–Ingold–Prelog priority rules (CIP rules) are followed to determine the priority of substituents of the double bond. If both of the high priority groups are on the same side of the double bond (cis configuration), then the stereoisomer is assigned the configuration Z (zusammen, German word meaning "together").
