Nuclear resonance scattering is [an electromagnetic radiation] technique which is applied to various fields … especially … to samples under extreme conditions like high pressure, low/high temperature, high external magnetic field, confined geometries or tiny samples [which] benefit most from the outstanding properties of synchrotron radiation. Besides basic and fundamental research, NRS applications may be roughly divided into hyperfine spectroscopy and(structural) dynamics. 1, record 2, English, - nuclear%20resonance%20scattering

La diffusion nucléaire résonnante […] utilisant le rayonnement synchrotron combine les propriétés exceptionnelles de la spectrométrie Mössbauer (SM) et celles du rayonnement synchrotron […] La diffusion nucléaire résonnante est maintenant une technique standard pour toutes les sources de rayonnement synchrotron de troisième génération. Comme la spectrométrie Mössbauer, c’est une méthode d’analyse à l’échelle atomique et non destructive. Elle présente l’avantage de ne pas nécessiter l’utilisation de sources radioactives de photons [gamma] incidents, qui peuvent être difficiles à fabriquer, de durée de vie qui peut être courte et d’intensité évidemment limitée. Les applications actuelles concernent principalement deux domaines : la spectroscopie hyperfine et la dynamique structurale. 1, record 2, French, - diffusion%20nucl%C3%A9aire%20r%C3%A9sonnante

The neural net may be thought of as responding to its own dynamics in exactly the same way as it responds to outside stimuli. This property may be thought of as a from of structural self-similarity, in which successive scales represent levels in a hierarchy of references. In the limit of an infinite net, one then has true self-similarity and thus, true self-reference. 3, record 3, English, - self%2Dsimilarity

L'autosimilitude est parfois définie comme autosimilarité stricte ou linéaire, d'autres fois comme automorphisme exact. Un objet autosimilaire peut être conçu comme exactement semblable à lui-même. Certains ensembles fractals, tel le bidragon ou courbe des dragons jumeaux possèdent une homothétie interne. Les fractales peuvent donc être strictement autosimilaires (par exemple l'éponge de Menger ou le tapis de Sierpinski), statistiquement autosimilaires (par exemple les côtes dans les paysages fractals) ou encore conceptuellement autosimilaires (par exemple l'ensemble de Mandelbrot). 6, record 3, French, - autosimilarit%C3%A9
