A mathematical model to convert the three-dimensional surface of the Earth to a two-dimensional map
a defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others projective tests diagnostic tests in which the test taker "projects" some aspect of his or her personality in response to the presentation of ambiguous test materials
A mathematical model that transforms the locations of features on the Earth's surface to locations on a two-dimensional surface (Term added 1993 )
In cartography, the method of distorting the curved shape of the earth onto the flat surface of a map Affects how one measures distance and bearings Canadian topographic maps use Transverse Mercator projection Lambert Conformal is another commonly used projection Do not confuse with datum
Representation of the earth's surface drawn over lines of latitude and longitude on a flat grid
When referring to musical instruments, projection is used to describe the carrying power of its tone and the ability to be heard clearly in ensemble Back
A method used to flatten a 3-D object (the earth in this case) so that it can be viewed in two dimensions See also our description of projections used by the satellite station
A map or a geospatial database is a flat representation of data located on a curved surface A projection is a device for producing all or part of a round body on a flat sheet This projection cannot be done without distortion, so the cartographer must choose which characteristic (distance, direction, scale, area, or shape) that is to be emphasized at the expense of the other characteristics (Snyder, 1982) All spatial data in the program are represented in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinate system that is based on the transverse mercator projection applied between 84 degrees north and 80 degrees south latitude
In Psychoanalytic Theory, the defense mechanism whereby we transfer or project our feelings about one person onto another Projective Techniques A generic term for the psychological procedures used to measure personality which rely on ambiguous stimuli
The use of econometric models to forecast the future performance of a company, country, or other financial entity using historical and current information
