anomaly
91Iridium anomaly — The term iridium anomaly commonly refers to an unusual abundance of the chemical element iridium in a layer of rock strata, often taken as evidence of an extraterrestrial impact event because of the case of such an anomaly at the… …
92Great Salt Anomaly — The Great Salt Anomaly has to do with thermohaline circulation and its effect on regulating the temperature in the North Atlantic. In the 1970s it had the effect of cooling the North Atlantic Ocean, caused problems with the cod populations around …
93Major anomaly — An unusual anatomic feature that is of serious medical or cosmetic consequence to the patient. For example, a major anomaly might be a cleft lip and palate. By contrast, a minor anomaly is an unusual anatomic feature not of serious medical or… …
94The Pancake Batter Anomaly — Episodio de The Big Bang Theory Título La anomalía de la masa de tortitas Episodio nº 11 Temporada 1 Escrito por …
95Eccentric anomaly — Eccentric Ec*cen tric ([e^]k*s[e^]n tr[i^]k), a. [F. excentrique, formerly also spelled eccentrique, fr. LL. eccentros out of the center, eccentric, Gr. e kkentros; ek out of + ke ntron center. See {Ex }, and {Center}, and cf. {Excentral}.] 1.… …
96Free-air anomaly — In geophysics, a free air anomaly is the difference between observed gravity and theoretical gravity that has been computed for latitude and corrected for elevation of the station above or below the geoid, by application of the normal rate of… …
97Konishi anomaly — In theoretical physics, the Konishi anomaly is the violation of the conservation of the Noether current associated with certain transformations in theories with N=1 supersymmetry. More precisely, this transformation changes the phase of a chiral… …
98Sussman Anomaly — The Sussman Anomaly is a problem in artificial intelligence, first described by Gerald Sussman, that illustrates a weakness of noninterleaved planning algorithms, which were prominent in the early 1970s. In the problem, three blocks (labeled A, B …
99Schottky anomaly — The Schottky anomaly is an observed effect in solid state physics where the specific heat capacity of a solid at low temperature makes a bump . It is called anomalous because the heat capacity usually increases with temperature, or stays constant …
100Minor anomaly — An unusual anatomic feature that is of no serious medical or cosmetic consequence to the patient. A minor anomaly of the feet might, for example, be curvature of the second toe so it overlaps the third toe a little. A major anomaly, by contrast,… …
