Line radiating from the center of a circle.
(1) A figure, such as a line or rod, oriented in the direction of the radius. (2) Arranged like rays or radii, radiating from a common center.
A general term describing features radiating from a centre. Applied in palynology to the region of a spore beyond the ends of the laesurae.
In bivalves, radiating from the umbones toward the ends and lower margins.
Arranged around and spreading from a common center.
relating to the radius, or forearm bone on the side of the thumb
Parallel to the radius of a circle; the in-out direction. Cf. tangential.
extending from a center in a manner of rays.
relating to or near the radius; "the radial aspect of the forearm"
relating to or moving along or having the direction of a radius; "radial velocity"
issuing in rays from a common centerXs; relating to rays of light; "radial heat"
arranged like rays or radii; radiating from a common center; "radial symmetry"; "a starlike or stellate arrangement of petals"; "many cities show a radial pattern of main highways"
(L. radius, spoke of a wheel). The radial nerve is a motor and sensory nerve that supplies the dorsal aspect of the arm, forearm, and hand. Return to the Top
radius, stroke of a wheel). The radial artery is on the lateral side of the forearm.
Towards the side of the radius of the forearm
along a radius, away from the centre The electric field vector from a point charge only has a component in the radial direction; one can see this from symmetry.
Pertaining to the radius or line from a circle center to the circle itself.
Sculpture that extends from the center of the shell outward toward the margin in cap shaped shells.
An electrical circuit arranged like rays, radiating from or converging to a common center. An electric circuit that is not looped.
A panel layout where seams and panels radiate out from the corners of the sail.
The term "radial' refers to a direction toward or away from the center of a circle (alerts a radius). Tire construction where cords run at a 90-degree angle to the bead or the tire's direction of rotation. "Radial" has come to mean the more modern of the two basic tire types.
A ray, bone, or chain of bones projecting from a central point or axis.
applied to a rootstock in which the fronds radiate and the roots are borne on all sides of the organ.
A hypothetical plane that radiates from the pith outwards towards the bark.
ARRAY A group of earthing electrodes or conductors of equal length and ampacity, connected at a central point and extending outward at equal angles, spoke fashion, to provide a low earth impedance reference.
Coincident with a radius from the axis of the tree or log to the circumference
A direction along the radius of the drum, i.e., from the centre and outwards towards the rim or vice versa. Inner notes are usually oriented radially, i.e., with their length axis pointing towards the centre of the drum.
Moving along lines diverging from a center, like spokes.
branching out in all directions from a common center.
Arranged like rays. 2. Radiating from or converging to a common center. 3. Moving or directed along a radius. 4. Near the radius (a bone) of the forearm. 5. Developing symmetrically around a central point.
In radio, evenly-spaced points along evenly-spaced radials on a map are used to determine average elevation above mean sea level (AMSL) within a radio station's coverage area (including broadcast stations and mobile phone towers, among others). This in turn determines height above average terrain (HAAT), which greatly affects a station's range (more so than effective radiated power), and potential for interference with other stations. Stations at low frequencies like the AM broadcast band also require grounding or earthing wires to be buried in the soil in a radial pattern, in order to have a proper ground plane.
