Inversion of an object A, denoted I(A), is the operation that corresponds to the geometrical inversion of A through the origin In one dimension, { I(A) } = {A0 , AN-1 , , A2 , A1 } In general, the array element at rx , ry , is exchanged with the array element at Nx - rx , Ny - ry , Inversion has the effect of complex conjugating the Fourier transform of the object: F( I(A) ) = F(A)*
The rearrangement of the notes in a chord Also the turning upside down of a theme, as in serial music
Said of intervals, when the lower tone is placed an octave higher, so that fifths become fourths, thirds sixths, etc
abnormal condition in which an organ is turned inward or inside out (as when the upper part of the uterus is pulled into the cervical canal after childbirth)
It refers to an increase in an atmospheric property with height For example A temperature inversion is when the temperature increases with altitude, which is a departure from the usual decrease of temperature with height
the phenomenon of a layer of warm air pressing down on cooler air below it Inversions are a special problem because they prevent the natural dispersion and dilution of air contaminants
An anomaly in the normal positive lapse rate; usually refers to a thermal inversion, in which temperature increases rather than decreases with height (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
Generally, a departure from the usual increase or decrease in an atmospheric property with altitude Specifically it almost always refers to a temperature inversion, i e , an increase in temperature with height, or to the layer within which such an increase occurs An inversion is present in the lower part of a cap
A peculiar method of transformation, in which a figure is replaced by its inverse figure
Deviation from standard word order by putting the predicate before the subject. It takes place in questions with auxiliary verbs and in normal, affirmative clauses beginning with a negative particle, for the purpose of emphasis
A structural rearrangement of a chromosome in which 2 breaks occur, followed by the reinsertion of the chromosome segment but in reversed order It may be either paracentric, i e , it does not include the centromere, or pericentric, i e , it does include the centromere
an increase of atmospheric temperature with height (an inversion of the normal tropospheric lapse)
The act or process by which cane sugar (sucrose), under the action of heat and acids or ferments (as diastase), is broken or split up into grape sugar (dextrose), and fruit sugar (levulose); also, less properly, the process by which starch is converted into grape sugar (dextrose)
Said of a subject, or phrase, when the intervals of which it consists are repeated in the contrary direction, rising instead of falling, or vice versa
