  2. Ordered pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered_pair

    Ordered pair. Analytic geometry associates to each point in the Euclidean plane an ordered pair. The red ellipse is associated with the set of all pairs ( x, y) such that x2 4 + y2 = 1. In mathematics, an ordered pair ( a, b) is a pair of objects. The order in which the objects appear in the pair is significant: the ordered pair ( a, b) is ...

  3. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    Similarity: Also referred to as identical elements theory, a high degree of similarity between the training environment and work environment increases the positive transfer of training. [2] [4] [3] Active Learning : Hands-on practice of material contributes to positive transfer, especially when it incorporates a variety of different contexts.

  4. Chemical element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_element

    A chemical element is a chemical substance that cannot be broken down into other substances by chemical reactions. The basic particle that constitutes a chemical element is the atom. Chemical elements are identified by the number of protons in the nuclei of their atoms, [1] known as the element's atomic number. [2]

  5. Pauli exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle

    In quantum mechanics, the Pauli exclusion principle states that two or more identical particles with half-integer spins (i.e. fermions) cannot simultaneously occupy the same quantum state within a system that obeys the laws of quantum mechanics. This principle was formulated by Austrian physicist Wolfgang Pauli in 1925 for electrons, and later ...

  6. Theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory

    Theory. A theory is a rational type of abstract thinking about a phenomenon, or the results of such thinking. The process of contemplative and rational thinking is often associated with such processes as observational study or research. Theories may be scientific, belong to a non-scientific discipline, or no discipline at all.

  7. Monopolistic competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition

    Business portal. Money portal. v. t. e. Monopolistic competition is a type of imperfect competition such that there are many producers competing against each other but selling products that are differentiated from one another (e.g., branding, quality) and hence not perfect substitutes. In monopolistic competition, a company takes the prices ...

  8. History of molecular theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_molecular_theory

    In chemistry, the history of molecular theory traces the origins of the concept or idea of the existence of strong chemical bonds between two or more atoms . A modern conceptualization of molecules began to develop in the 19th century along with experimental evidence for pure chemical elements and how individual atoms of different chemical ...

  9. Line array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_array

    L-Acoustics V-DOSC/dV-DOSC line array at a concert. NEXO STM M28 Line array at EXPO Festival. A line array is a loudspeaker system that is made up of a number of usually identical loudspeaker elements mounted in a line and fed in phase, to create a near- line source of sound. The distance between adjacent drivers is close enough that they ...
