A characteristic of a pixel or voxel that is square or cubic respectively Compare to non-isotropic See the Caret (for Pfile/Functional files) and Surefit (for 2D and 3D anatomical files) pages for instructions on converting non-isotropic voxels to isotropic voxels
a situation where a quantity (or its spatial derivatives) are independent of position or direction
Having uniform properties in all directions independent of the direction of load application
Fiber directionality with uniform properties in all directions, independent of the direction of applied load
Magnet material with no preferred orientation; can be magnetized in any direction
{s} isotropous; having the same properties or characteristics along all axes (Physics); having no predefined axes (Zoology)
Same in all directions; the isotropicity of space means that the outcome of an experiment performed on a closed system does not depend on the orientation of the closed system
Exhibiting properties with the same values when measured along axes in all directions Opposite of anisotropic
Having the same properties in all directions; specifically, equally elastic in all directions
Having properties that are the same regardless of the direction of measurement In the isotropic state, all directions are indistinguishable from each other See also anisotropic
In general, pertaining to a state in which a quantity or spatial derivatives thereof are independent of direction Also called isotropous
In wireless, a theoretical "unity" (0 dB) gain antenna used as a measurement reference Has the assumed characteristic of receiving or transmitting equally well in all directions A dipole antenna roughly approximates an isotropic antenna Back to top kHz Kilohertz, 1,000 Hertz, or one thousand cycles per second Back to top Lavalier Microphone A type of miniature microphone that is usually worn fastened to clothing somewhere near the user's mouth Also referred to as a clip-on or lapel microphone
An antenna that radiates its signal 360 degrees both vertically and horizontally in a perfect sphere
Equal in all directions Isotropic scattering occurs when light is scattered equally over 4pi steradians Isotropic reflection, in contrast, usually refers to a surface that may have a directional preference, but one that does not depend on the azimuth of the incident vector
The material has no preferred direction of magnetic orientation, which allows magnetization in any direction
A theoretical "isotrope" is a single point in free space which radiates energy equally in every direction
The property of being identical, or having the same physical properties, in all directions
down this road, as they watched, came a wagon, then a couple of riders, then a coach and another wagon, in daylight which slowly lost its stark isotropy and was flowed into by clouds and chimney smoke and even episodes of weather.
Formal definition: identical in all directions (American Heritage Dictionary) The degree of isotropy of the distribution of GRB events on the sky is controversial
