This demonstrates the main advantages of compressive holography, i. e. that holograms naturally encode high quality multiplex data and that decompressive inference can infer multidimensional objects from lower dimensional data. Extensions of compressive holography may use off-axis encoding to filter nonlinear terms and multispectral illumination to increase the band volume and improve axial resolution.

[A] rib is an intersegmental splint of cartilage or replacement bone which articulates with the vertebra. Originally [ribs] extended the entire length of the spine to increase the direct contact of axial muscles with the skeleton. As they lengthened they came to protect underlying viscera while retaining requisite flexibility and minimum weight. Only in amniotes are they specialized to contribute to the breathing mechanism.

La côte est une baguette endosquelettique métamérisée située dans les cloisons conjonctives intersegmentaires, ou myoseptes de la musculature pariétale. Comme la vertèbre elle provient du mésenchyme sclérotomien. Son extrémité dorsale ou tête, simple ou bifurquée, est articulée (ou soudée) à la vertèbre (chaque vertèbre porte en principe une paire de côtes). Son extrémité ventrale est libre (Anamniotes) ou soudée au sternum (cage thoracique des Amniotes). Elle est absente chez les Agnathes.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aerodynamics and Theory of Gases
CONT

A windmill is an airscrew which is used to drain energy from the surrounding air and convert it into a useful force. The aerodynamic reaction of the air on the rotating blades gives a drag force tending to check the relative axial motion and a torque which tends to increase the rotation of the windmill.
