Orientational

The orientational equation is then solved to give a more restrictive condition on the unknown powers of the orientational symbols, arriving at a solution that is more complete than the one that dimensional analysis alone gives.

Under other conditions (for instance, lower temperature), a LC might inhabit one or more phases with significant anisotropic orientational structure and short-range orientational order while still having an ability to flow.

A second rank symmetric traceless tensor order parameter is used to describe the orientational order of a nematic liquid crystal, although a scalar order parameter is usually sufficient to describe uniaxial nematic liquid crystals.

Cultural systems Parsons maintained had an independent status from that of the normative and orientational pattern of the social system; the one system cannot be reduced to the other.

It should be clear that the multiplication rule used for the orientational symbols is not the same as that for the cross product of two vectors.

More importantly, the orientational information is lost.

Siano further shows that the orientational symbols have an algebra of their own.

The model utilizes two order parameters that describe the orientational and positional order of the liquid crystal.
