Isorhythm Isorhythm (iso or same) consists of an order of durations or rhythms, talea ("cutting", plural taleae), which is repeated within a tenor melody whose pitch content or series, color (repetition), varied in the number of members from the talea. The term was coined in 1904 by Friedrich Ludwig to describe this practice in 14th and 15th century polyphonic motets but is also used in motets of the middle ages, the music of India, and by modern composers such as Alban Berg, Olivier Messiaen, and John Cage.

Isosafrole Isosafrole is an aromatic organic chemical with a smell similar to anise or licorice. It is found in small amounts in various essential oils, but is most commonly obtained by isomerizing the plant oil safrole.
Isosbestic plot In spectroscopy, an isosbestic plot a plot of absorbance against wavelength for two or more substances. An isosbestic plot may include one or more isosbestic points since there can be more than two wavelengths at which the species have equal extinction coefficients.
Isosbestic point In spectroscopy, an isosbestic point is a specific wavelength at which two (or more) chemical species have the same Molar absorptivity (ε). This point represents a wavelength on an isosbestic plot at which the absorption spectra of two species cross each other, the later statement being true only if the molar absorptivities are represented (instead of absorbances), or if both species are in the same concentration.

Isothermal process An isothermal process is a thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system stays constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir (heat bath), and processes occur slowly enough to allow the system to continually adjust to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange. An alternative special case in which a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings (Q = 0) is called an adiabatic process.

Isotopy invariant In Knot theory, an isotopy invariant is any property of a knot or link that remains consistent regardless of any ambient isotopy. This means that an isotopy invariant refers to the properties of a knot or link that remain constant even after the knot or link is deformed, twisted, bent, or pulled, as long as the knot or link is not allowed to intersect with itself or be cut.
Isotropic antenna An isotropic antenna is an ideal antenna that radiates power with unit gain uniformly in all directions and is often used as a reference for antenna gains in wireless systems. There is no actual physical isotropic antenna; a close approximation is a stack of two pairs of crossed dipole antennas driven in quadrature.
Isotropic coordinates In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres. There are several different types of coordinate chart which are adapted to this family of nested spheres; the best known is the Schwarzchild chart, but the isotropic chart is also often useful.

It radiates uniformly in all directions from a point source sometimes called an isotropic radiator.
Isotropy Isotropy (the opposite of anisotropy) is the property of being independent of direction. Isotropic radiation has the same intensity regardless of the direction of measurement, and an isotropic field exerts the same action regardless of how the test particle is oriented.

Isothermal process An isothermal process is a thermodynamic process in which the temperature of the system stays constant: ΔT = 0. This typically occurs when a system is in contact with an outside thermal reservoir (heat bath), and processes occur slowly enough to allow the system to continually adjust to the temperature of the reservoir through heat exchange. An alternative special case in which a system exchanges no heat with its surroundings (Q = 0) is called an adiabatic process.

Isothermal-isobaric ensemble The isothermal-isobaric ensemble is a statistical mechanical ensemble where the system is allowed to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature T and the volume can also change though its mean value is tuned by the pressure P applied. It is also called the (T,P,N)-ensemble, as the third quantity kept constant is the number of particles N.
Isothetic polygon An isothetic polygon is a polygon whose alternate sides belong to two parametric families of straight lines which are pencils of lines with centers at two points (possibly in the infinity).

Isotopic signature An isotopic signature (also isotopic fingerprint) is a ratio of stable or unstable isotopes of particular elements found in an investigated material. The atomic mass of different isotopes affect their chemical kinetic behavior, leading to natural isotope separation processes.
Isotopic tracer An isotopic tracer, (also "isotopic marker" or "isotopic label"), is used in chemistry and biochemistry to help understand chemical reactions and interactions. In this technique, one or more of the atoms of the molecule of interest is substituted for an atom of the same chemical element, but of a different (often radioactive, such as in radioactive tracing) isotope.

Isotopy invariant In Knot theory, an isotopy invariant is any property of a knot or link that remains consistent regardless of any ambient isotopy. This means that an isotopy invariant refers to the properties of a knot or link that remain constant even after the knot or link is deformed, twisted, bent, or pulled, as long as the knot or link is not allowed to intersect with itself or be cut.
Isotropic antenna An isotropic antenna is an ideal antenna that radiates power with unit gain uniformly in all directions and is often used as a reference for antenna gains in wireless systems. There is no actual physical isotropic antenna; a close approximation is a stack of two pairs of crossed dipole antennas driven in quadrature.
Isotropic coordinates In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres. There are several different types of coordinate chart which are adapted to this family of nested spheres; the best known is the Schwarzchild chart, but the isotropic chart is also often useful.

It radiates uniformly in all directions from a point source sometimes called an isotropic radiator.
