 Rotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One consequence of the rotation of a planet is the phenomenon of precession.
An object may allow rotation with respect to an attached other object by means of one or more hinges (e.g.
Rotations around the x, y and z axes are called principal rotations.

 Encyclopedia4U - Quaternions and spatial rotation - Encyclopedia Article
In computer games and other applications, one is often interested in "smooth rotations", meaning that the scene should slowly rotate and not in a single step.
Quaternions are used in computer graphics and related fields because they allow for a compact representations of rotations in 3D space.
When composing several rotations on a computer, rounding errors necessarily accumulate.

 Rotation
In pure rotation it remains in the vicinity of the axis of rotation and periodically returns to its original position.
The instantaneous angular acceleration, a, which is the change in instantaneous angular velocity divided by the time for that change, is of course a vector in the same direction whose magnitude is the limit of Dw/Dt as the change in time approaches zero.
In this section we will introduce the parameters that describe rotation and cover enough of the basics to help you develop some intuition about general motion of many particle systems.

 Rotation PRINCALS Solutions
The procedure may be used for orthogonal rotation as well as for oblique rotation of the component loadings of the variables.
This paper describes how the solution of a non-linear principal components analysis can still be rotated when data were originally intended to serve in an ordinary principal components analysis, but doubts about the measurement level or the linearity of relations have risen.
When rotating orthogonally, it is also possible to rotate the object scores (component scores) for data reduction purposes.

 Geometric Operations - Rotate
are the coordinates of the center of rotation (in the input image) and
We can perform edge detection along the opposite direction to that shown in the image by employing a 180 degree rotation in the edge detection algorithm.
The rotation operator performs a geometric transform which maps the position

 Rotation of Europa
Thus, when the calculation of Europa's rotation rate is limited to the comparison of terminator positions within the same geological province (the bright plains) rotation is found to be synchronous, with the uncertainty of ±0.5f.
Sources of random errors are (a) inconsistencies in measuring reference feature positions and (b) uncertainty in apparent terminator longitude.
Many of the random and systematic uncertainties associated with determining the position of the terminator would remain however.

 Math Forum: Types of Symmetry in the Plane
For example, rotation by 90 degrees about a fixed point is an example of a plane symmetry.
Translating an object means moving it without rotating or reflecting it.
You can describe a translation by stating how far it moves an object, and in what direction.

In other words, using traditional rotations formulas, 450 degrees is the same as 90 degrees.

 MF Bliki: Rotation
We are very much of the lean belief that local optimization often gets in the way of global performance.
But I wouldn't want this to be compulsory, because there often are genuine reasons why people can't do it.
For those who rotate, there's also the benefit of more varied work.

 Rotation Velocities
Actually, that's mainly just because of the (rather unrealistic) mass distribution I chose for this example; in reality, it could rise more gradually, and even stay constant.
Objects at different distances do not rotate at the same speed -- the particles started off in a straight line, but that's not how they remain.
However, it's easy to tell where the mass distribution ends, because the rotation curve starts falling off quite quickly.

 Differential rotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Differential rotation is seen if parts of a rotating object move with different angular velocity.
(to put it short and non-scientific, parts at different distances from the rotation axis make a different number of rounds at a given time interval).
Usually galaxies and protostars show differential rotation; also the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn show differential rotation.

 Crop rotation Info - Encyclopedia WikiWhat.com
If crop rotation is done properly, farmers can keep their fields under continuous production, without a need to let them lie fallow or to apply artificial fertilizers, both of which can be expensive.
In the Green revolution, the practice of crop rotation gave way in some parts of the world to that of simply adding the necessary chemical inputs to the depleted soil, e.g.
The four field rotation was a key development in the British Agricultural Revolution.
