Quasi-quotation Quasi-quotation is a linguistic device that facilitates rigorous and terse formulation of general rules about linguistic expressions while properly observing the use-mention distinction. It was introduced in by the philosopher and logician Willard van Orman Quine in his book Mathematical Logic, originally published in 1940.
Quasi-realism Quasi-realism is an expressivist meta-ethical theory propounded by Simon Blackburn which asserts that though our moral claims are projectivist we understand them in realist terms as part of our ethical experience of the world. Blackburn derives this stance from a Humean account of the origin of our moral opinions, adapting Hume's genealogical account in the light of evolutionary game theory.

Quasi-finite field In mathematics, a quasi-finite field is a generalisation of a finite field. Standard local class field theory usually deals with complete fields whose residue field is finite, but the theory applies equally well when the residue field is only assumed quasi-finite.
Quasi-foreign corporation A quasi-foreign corporation (also known as a pseudo-foreign corporation) is a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction with which it has minimal business contacts. Corporations may incorporate in foreign jurisdictions in order to minimize liability, taxes, or regulatory interference.
Quasi-invariant measure In mathematics, a quasi-invariant measure ÎĽ with respect to a transformation T, from a measure space X to itself, is a measure which, roughly speaking, is multiplied by a numerical function by T. An important class of examples occurs when X is a smooth manifold M, T is a diffeomorphism of M, and ÎĽ is any measure that locally is a measure with base the Lebesgue measure on Euclidean space.
Quasi-market A quasi-market is a public sector institutional structure that is designed to reap the efficiency gains of free markets without losing the equity benefits of traditional systems of public administration and financing.
Quasi-Monte Carlo method In numerical analysis, a quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for the computation of an integral (or some other problem) that is based on low-discrepancy sequences. This is in contrast to a regular Monte Carlo method, which is based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers.
Quasi-Newton method In optimization, quasi-Newton methods are well-known algorithms for finding local maxima and minima of functions, just like Newton's method, but quasi-Newton methods approximate the inverse Hessian matrix in order to reduce the amount of computation per iteration.
Quasi-perfect equilibrium Quasi-perfect equilibrium is a refinement of Nash Equilibrium for extensive form games due to Eric van Damme. Informally, a player playing by a strategy from a quasi-perfect equilibrium takes observed as well as potential future mistakes of his opponents into account but assumes that he himself will not make a mistake in the future, even if he observes that he has done so in the past.
Quasi-periodic oscillations In high-energy (X-ray) astronomy, quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) refer to the way the X-ray light seems to flicker. Low frequency QPOs may be around 1 hertz, whereas high frequency QPOs maybe around several hundred hertz.
Quasi-phase-matching Quasi-phase-matching is a technique in nonlinear optics which allows a positive net flow of energy from the pump frequency to the signal and idler frequencies by creating a periodic structure in the nonlinear medium. Momentum is conserved, as is necessary for phase-matching, through an additional momentum contribution corresponding to the wavevector of the periodic structure.
Quasi-property Quasi-property is a legal concept in which some rights similar to ownership may accrue to a party who does an act which benefits society as a whole. Black's Law dictionary defines "quasi" as being "almost" or "resembling" but not actually the same as the suffix item.
Quasi-quotation Quasi-quotation is a linguistic device that facilitates rigorous and terse formulation of general rules about linguistic expressions while properly observing the use-mention distinction. It was introduced in by the philosopher and logician Willard van Orman Quine in his book Mathematical Logic, originally published in 1940.
Quasi-realism Quasi-realism is an expressivist meta-ethical theory propounded by Simon Blackburn which asserts that though our moral claims are projectivist we understand them in realist terms as part of our ethical experience of the world. Blackburn derives this stance from a Humean account of the origin of our moral opinions, adapting Hume's genealogical account in the light of evolutionary game theory.
Quasi-solid Quasi-solid is the physical term for a semi-solid. While technically a solid, a quasi-solid shares some properties of liquids, such as shape conformity to something applying pressure to it, of the ability to flow.
Quasi-synchronous transmission In radio broadcasting, quasi-synchronous transmission is a method of achieving wider area coverage using multiple transmitters but without needing multiple frequencies. It became technically feasible in the mid 1970s, but was rapidly superseded by cellular networks in the early 1980s, so it is rarely found today.

Quasiparticle In physics, a quasiparticle refers to a particle-like entity arising in certain systems of interacting particles. It can be thought of as a single particle moving through the system, surrounded by a cloud of other particles that are being pushed out of the way or dragged along by its motion, so that the entire entity moves along somewhat like a free particle.
Quasiperiodic tiling A quasiperiodic tiling is a tiling of the plane which exhibits local periodicity under some transformations; we can slide or rotate it such that a finite number of tiles overlap perfectly, yet the entire tiling will not.

Quasispecies model The quasispecies [kwaa'-zei-spee"-seez] model is a description of the process of the Darwinian evolution of self-replicating entities within the framework of physical chemistry. It is useful mainly in providing a qualitative understanding of the evolutionary processes of self-replicating macromolecules such as RNA or DNA or simple asexual organisms such as bacteria or viruses (see also viral quasispecies), and is helpful in explaining something of the early stages of the origin of life.
Quasistatic equilibrium Quasistatic equilibrium is the quasi-balanced state of a thermodynamic system near to thermodynamic equilibrium in some sense or degree. A process is called quasi-static when it follows a succession of equilibrium states; the surroundings may be irreversibly altered during the process so that after a return path, the system ends up in a final state which differs from its initial state.
