COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS
■ ADJECTIVE
great
▪
They would also give rise to a smaller Schwarzschild mass parameter, and hence greater curvature on the horizon.
▪
At various periods after the injection of endothelin-1, the stomach was removed and opened along the greater curvature .
▪
Thereafter, the specimens were carefully opened along the greater curvature , laid on and pinned out on a flat surface.
▪
The stomach was removed, opened along the greater curvature , rinsed in ice cold 0.9% saline and weighed.
▪
Rats were decapitated and the stomach were removed, opened along the greater curvature .
■ NOUN
tensor
▪
This, the Riemann curvature tensor , quantifies space-time curvature.
▪
We shall now briefly bring out the relationship between the Gaussian curvature and the Riemann curvature tensor .
▪
This can not be a curvature singularity, since the curvature tensor on it is zero.
▪
For vacuum solutions, in these regions at most one component, either 4 or 0, of the curvature tensor is non-zero.
▪
The curvature tensor can be identified by using an approach that was introduced in Chapter 3.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
In this case only, the surface corresponds to a curvature singularity.
▪
The different components refer to the different curvatures in different directions in the space-time.
▪
Their curvatures can only be obtained rigorously from the solution of Einstein's equation.
▪
They contain the usual coordinate singularity on the hypersurface but, for this class, this is not a curvature singularity.
▪
They would also give rise to a smaller Schwarzschild mass parameter, and hence greater curvature on the horizon.
▪
This, the Riemann curvature tensor, quantifies space-time curvature.
▪
Using an element of known direction of curvature one can thus conveniently determine the direction of curvature of another element.
▪
When is small compared with unity, the curvature is small and general relativistic effects are negligible.
