Aṅgula (अङ्गुल)
Aṅgula (अङ्गुल) is a traditional Indian unit of length equal to a finger's breadth, about 19 mm, and the base of larger units like the hasta and yojana.
Angular (web framework)
Angular, also known as Angular 2+, is a TypeScript-based, open-source web application framework maintained by Google and released in 2016 as a complete rewrite of AngularJS.
Angular acceleration
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity over time, a vector quantity measured in radians per second squared and directed along the rotation axis.
Angular cheilitis
Angular cheilitis, also called perlèche or angular stomatitis, is inflammatory cracking at the mouth corners caused by saliva maceration with Candida or Staphylococcus infection; not contagious, treated with antifungals and barrier care.
Angular diameter
Angular diameter, also called angular size or apparent diameter, is the angle an object subtends at the observer; Betelgeuse became the first star so measured, in 1920.
Angular diameter distance
The angular diameter distance is a cosmological distance measure defined as an object's physical transverse size divided by its angular size, which decreases beyond a redshift of about 1.
Angular dispersion
Angular dispersion is the rate at which light's propagation angle changes with wavelength, dθ/dλ, determining how far apart a prism or grating sends different colors.
Angular displacement
Angular displacement, or angle of rotation, is the signed angle in radians through which a point on a rigid body rotates about a specified axis, written Δθ.
Angular frequency
Angular frequency, also called angular speed, is the rate at which the phase of an oscillation advances, equal to frequency multiplied by 2π and measured in radians per second.
Angular momentum
Angular momentum, also called moment of momentum, is the rotational analog of linear momentum, a vector defined for a particle as the cross product of its position and momentum.
Angular momentum of light
The angular momentum of light is the rotational momentum carried by electromagnetic radiation, having a spin part set by polarization and an orbital part from helical phase fronts.
Angular momentum operator
The angular momentum operator in quantum mechanics is a vector operator whose components generate spatial rotations and obey fixed commutation relations, covering orbital angular momentum, intrinsic spin, and their sum, with eigenvalues j(j+1)ℏ².
Angular momentum regulation
Angular momentum regulation is a control strategy for legged robots, especially humanoids, where balance is kept by changing total angular momentum via external torques rather than internal joint motion.
Angular resolution
Angular resolution, described by the Rayleigh criterion, is the smallest angular separation at which an imaging system can distinguish two point sources, set by aperture and wavelength.
Angular spectrum method
The angular spectrum method is a scalar diffraction technique that propagates a light field between planes by decomposing it into plane waves with a Fourier transform.
Angular unconformity
An angular unconformity is an erosional surface where younger beds lie at an angle to older, tilted or folded strata, recording deposition, deformation, erosion, and renewed deposition.
Angular velocity
Angular velocity, symbol ω, is the rate of change of angular position with time, measured in radians per second; as a vector it points along the axis of rotation.
AngularJS
AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework from Google for building single-page web applications, extending HTML with two-way data binding, MVC architecture, and dependency injection; official support ended in January 2022.
Angulimala
Angulimala (अङ्गुलिमाल) was a bandit of the Kosala kingdom who killed travelers and wore a garland of their fingers until the Buddha converted and ordained him as a monk.
Angus (film)
Angus (1995) is an American teen comedy-drama directed by Patrick Read Johnson, adapted from Chris Crutcher's short story, starring Charlie Talbert, Kathy Bates, George C. Scott, and James Van Der Beek.
Angus & Julia Stone
Angus & Julia Stone are an Australian sibling folk-indie pop duo formed in Sydney in 2006. Down the Way (2010) hit number one in Australia and won five ARIA Awards; Rick Rubin produced their 2014 reunion album.
Angus & Robertson
Angus & Robertson is an Australian bookselling and publishing firm founded in Sydney in 1886, known for publishing Paterson and Lawson and for its national bookshop chain.
Angus Barbieri's fast
Angus Barbieri's fast: a 382-day medically supervised fast (June 1965 to July 1966) by a Scottish man at Maryfield Hospital, Dundee, on tea, coffee, water, soda water, and vitamins; weight fell from 214 kg to 80.74 kg, the longest recorded fast.
Angus Buckling
Angus Buckling is an evolutionary biologist and Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Exeter's Penryn Campus in Cornwall, studying the evolutionary ecology of microbes.
Angus Campbell (social psychologist)
Angus Campbell (Albert Angus Campbell, 1910–1980) was an American social psychologist who directed the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center and wrote The American Voter.
Angus Cloud
Angus Cloud (Conor Angus Cloud Hickey, 1998-2023), American actor from Oakland; scouted off the street, he played drug dealer Fezco on HBO's Euphoria and starred in Your Lucky Day before dying of an accidental overdose at 25.
Angus Dalgleish
Angus George Dalgleish is a British medical oncologist, foundation chair of oncology at St George's, University of London, known for co-discovering HIV's CD4 receptor and for cancer immunotherapy.
