1. Asymmetry: Asymmetry is the absence of, or a violation of, symmetry (the property of an object being invariant to a transformation, such as reflection). Symmetry is an important property of both physical and abstract systems and it may be displayed in ... (Absence of, or a violation of, symmetry) [100%] 2024-06-08 [Asymmetry] [Symmetry]...
2. Asymmetry coefficient: The most frequently employed measure of the asymmetry of a distribution, defined by the relationship $$ \gamma _ {1} = \frac{\mu _ 3}{\mu _ {2} ^ {3/2} } , $$ where $ \mu _ {2} $ and $ \mu _ {3} $ are the second and third ... (Mathematics) [70%] 2023-07-30

7. Asymmetry of a distribution: A qualitative property of the curve of a distribution, indicating that the distribution deviates from a symmetric one. The asymmetry of a distribution is positive (negative) if the asymmetry coefficient is positive (negative). (Mathematics) [50%] 2023-06-03
8. Asymmetry of the Intertropical Convergence Zone: There are a number of explanations of the asymmetry of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the Doldrums. The ITCZ would be expected to overlie the geographic equator according to symmetric solar radiation. (Physics) [40%] 2022-09-16 [Tropical meteorology] [Atmospheric dynamics]...
