Infranet The Infranet is a prospective architecture for the Internet and future packet-based telecommunications networks. Currently the Internet's architecture is largely the result of the emergent behavior of the interacting protocols on the Internet and the business practices of telecommunications providers.
Infraparticle In electrodynamics and quantum electrodynamics, in addition to the global U(1) symmetry related to the electric charge, we also have position dependent gauge transformations. Noether's theorem states for every infinitesimal symmetry transformation which is local in the sense that the transformed value of a field at a given point only depends upon the field configuration in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the point in question, there corresponds a conserved charge called the Noether charge which is the space integral of a Nother density (assuming that the integral converges) and there is a Noether current satisfying the continuity equation.
Infrared Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of radio waves. The name means "below red" (from the Latin infra, "below"), red being the color of visible light of longest wavelength.
Infrared cleaning Infrared cleaning is a technique used by some film scanners to reduce or remove the effect of dust and scratches upon the finished scan. It works by collecting an infrared channel from the scan at the same time as the visible colour channels (red, green, and blue).
Infrared divergence In physics, an infrared divergence is a situation in which an integral, for example a Feynman diagram, diverges because of contributions of objects with very small energy approaching zero, or, equivalently, because of physical phenomena at very long distances.
Infrared multiphoton dissociation Infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) is a technique used in mass spectrometry to fragment molecules in the gas phase usually for structural analysis of the original (parent) molecule. An infrared laser is directed through a window into the vacuum of the mass spectrometer where the ions are.
Infrared Optical Telescope Array The Infrared Optical Telescope Array (IOTA) began with an agreement in 1988 among five Institutions, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Harvard University, the University of Massachusetts, the University of Wyoming, and MIT/Lincoln Laboratory, to build a two-telescope stellar interferometer for the purpose of making fundamental astrophysical observations, and also as a prototype instrument on which we could perfect techniques which could later lead to the development of a larger, more powerful array. On site construction went on for all 1993 and 1994, with first fringes in December 1993.
Infrared spectroscopy Infrared spectroscopy (IR Spectroscopy) is the subset of spectroscopy that deals with the Infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This covers a range of techniques, with the most common type by far being a form of absorption spectroscopy.
Infrared Space Observatory The Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) was a space telescope for infrared light designed and operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), in cooperation with ISAS (part of JAXA as of 2003) and NASA. The ISO was designed to study the infrared at wavelengths of 2.
Infrared thermometer Infrared thermometers measure temperature using blackbody radiation (generally infrared) emitted from objects. They are sometimes called laser thermometers if a laser is used to help aim the thermometer, or non-contact thermometers to describe the device’s ability to measure temperature from a distance.
Infrasound Infrasound is sound with a frequency too low to be detected by the human ear. The study of such sound waves is sometimes referred to as infrasonics, covering sounds from the lower limit of human hearing (about 16 or 17 hertz) down to 0.
Infraspinatous fossa The infraspinatous fossa (infraspinatus fossa, infraspinous fossa) of the scapula is much larger than the supraspinatous fossa; toward its vertebral margin a shallow concavity is seen at its upper part; its center presents a prominent convexity, while near the axillary border is a deep groove which runs from the upper toward the lower part.
Infrastructure Infrastructure is generally a set of interconnected structural elements that provide the framework supporting an entire structure. The term has diverse meanings in different fields, but is perhaps most widely understood to refer to roads, and sewers.
Infrastructure bias In economics and social policy, infrastructure bias refers to the fact that the location and availability of pre-existing infrastructure such as roads and telecommunications facilities influences social and economic development.
