  • Cinematography
CONT

A ground level shot is when your camera's height is on ground level with your subject. This camera angle is used a lot to feature a character walking without revealing their face, but it can help to make the viewer more active and use the actor's performance to build an idea.

  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
  • Fish
DEF

A clear variation in the angle of the corpus calcareum [that] corresponds to a growth rate acceleration in [fish].

CONT

Recent declines in abundance of skates ... have heightened the need for validated age and growth estimates ... skate vertebral centra collected seasonally ... were sectioned using a mass processing method, then used to reconstruct growth in each species. ... Total counts were obtained by summing visible and estimated band counts. Growth curves were then fitted to all length-at-age data including sections deemed unreadable near the focus. The location of the birth band (BB) in each species was confirmed by comparing suspected birth band radius (BR) measurements with [vertebral radius (VR)] measurements of available late-term embryos ... and/or early young-of-the-year fish ... Regressions between VR and [total length] for each species, along with published hatch lengths, were also used to verify the location of the BB along the corpus calcareum of each section ...

OBS

Birthmarks are usually represented by an angle change along the centrum face of whole vertebrae or along [the] intermedialia-corpus calcareum interface with an associated ring on the corpus calcareum in sectioned centra, but this feature may not be distinct in either.

Subject field(s)
  • Paddle Sports
CONT

At the end of the J stroke, the paddle is kniffed forward underwater with the power face of the paddle almost flat and facing up. Steering is accomplished by pulling up on the blade as it is brought forward. About halfway through the recovery, the paddle is allowed to slip out of the water in readiness for the next power stroke. The trick is getting a very slight angle on the blade as it comes forward. If the angle is wrong the paddle will plane out of the water or drive too deep. The angle is controlled by the upper hand.

OBS

It used to be called the kniffing J but American canoeists began referring to it as the Canadian stroke. Most Canadians are happy to go along with this name because it is such a beautiful stroke.

Less brilliant rainbow supplementary to a primary rainbow.

CONT

This primary bow has a red outer boundary which is located at an angle of 42 degrees away from a line from the sun to the viewer. To see the primary bow the viewer must face away from the sun. A secondary bow with colors reversed so that the red edge is toward the inner border is frequently seen about 8 degrees outside the primary bow. It is weaker than the primary bow because the light undergoes two reflections, and consequently more absorption, inside the raindrops.

Fracture line profile [is] a graphical representation of the components of a slab avalanche prepared by excavating a snowpit at the crown face and measuring a variety of snow parameters from the surface down at and including the bed surface(and sometimes extending to the ground). Typical parameters measured include time, date, location, weather, slope angle, aspect, slab dimensions, and include the snowpack stratigraphy parameters plotted at the appropriate depth from the surface in cm : density, hardness, temperature, moisture, fracture depth.

A screw thread whose forward face is perpendicular to the screw axis and whose back face is at an angle to the axis, so that the thread is both efficient in transmitting power and strong.

CONT

The buttress or breech-block thread is designed for transmitting an exceptionally high pressure in one direction only. In its original form the pressure flank was perpendicular to the thread axis, and the trailing flank sloped at 45°. To simplify the cutting of the face, modern practice is to give the pressure flank a 7° slope. This form of thread is applicable for assembled tubular members because of the small radial thrust. Buttress threads are used on breech mechanisms of large guns and for airplane propeller hubs.
