English-French-Persian

The act of repeating; repeated action, performance, production, or presentation.

From L. repetitionem (nominative repetitio), from repetitus, p.p. of repetere "to do or say again."

Bâzgarš from bâz-, → re-, + garš "turn, time (indicating multiplication, as in three times, four times, etc.," aquivalent to Fr. fois), related to gez in hargez "ever, always; never," garz in hagarz "never." Garš has numerous variants in Pers. dialects, all denoting "turn, times" (بار، دفعه), e.g. [Mo'in]: gazak; Qâyeni: gaš; Hamadâni, Qomi: kaš; Lori: gey, gel; Semnâni, Sorxeyi, Lâsgardi, Sangesari: gazak; Gilaki: garaš; Tâleši: gara, vera, verxa; Tabari: gal, gel; Tâti Karingâni: kat; Kermâni: karet; related to Av. hakərət "once," from *ha(m)-kar-, the second element meaning "to do;" Pers; kardan; cf. Skt. sakrt "once, repeated; ever; never."

1) The act or the action of representing; the state of being represented.
2) The expression by some term, character, symbol, or the like.

M.E. representacion, from L. repraesentation, from repraesentatus p.p. of repraesentare, from → re- + praesentare "to show, give, present for approval," from praesens, from praeesse "to be before others, to be present," from prae- "before," → pre- + esse "to be," cognate with Pers. ast "is," astan, hastan "to be."

Nemâyeš, nemâyandegi, from nemudan "to show, demonstrate, exhibit," → display

1) The act of reproducing or the condition or process of being reproduced.
2) Something reproduced, especially in the faithfulness of its resemblance to the form and elements of the original.
3) Biology: Any of various processes, either sexual or asexual, by which an animal or plant produces one or more individuals similar to itself (TheFreeDictionary.com).

→ reproduce; → -tion.

Physics: The force that acts between bodies of like electric charge or magnetic polarity, tending to separate them.

Verbal noun of → repulse.

The act of resigning.

Verbal noun from → resign.

1) The degree to which an → optical system renders visible separate parts of an object. Also known as → angular resolution and → spatial resolution. See also → spectral resolution.
2) The time interval between successive discernible signals. → temporal resolution.

Verbal noun of → resolve.

Finding the → components of a → force which act in specified → directions.

→ resolution; → force.

A neutron with an energy between 1 eV and 0.01 MeV.

→ resonance; → region; → neutron.

A nuclear reaction whose probability is enhanced at an energy corresponding to an energy level of one of the nuclei. → resonance capture.

Resonant, verbal adj. of → resonate; → reaction.

A process whereby stellar orbit relaxation can be dramatically enhanced in orbits in a nearly Keplerian star cluster close to a → massive black hole (MBH). This process can modify the angular momentum distribution and affect the interaction rates of the stars with the MBH more efficiently than non-resonant relaxation. In the standard relaxation picture, each encounter is random and uncorrelated, so stars undergo a random walk. Relaxation is driven by the diffusion of energy which then leads to angular momentum transfer. However, in a stellar cluster around a MBH, each star will be on a Keplerian orbit, which is a fixed ellipse in space. The orbits of two nearby stars will thus exert correlated torques on one another, which can lead to a direct resonant evolution of the angular momentum. Since resonant relaxation increases the rate of angular momentum scattering, stars reach highly eccentric orbits more rapidly where they can become → extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI)s (Rauch, K.P., Tremaine, S., 1996, arXiv:astro-ph/9603018; Gair J.R. et al. 2013, Living Rev. Relativity, 16, (2013), 7 http://www.livingreviews.org/lrr-2013-7, doi:10.12942/lrr-2013-7).

→ resonant; → relaxation.

The absorption of a material by a medium or system after having been released from absorption by that same medium or system. → absorption; → desorption; → sorption.

Verbal noun of resorb, from L. resorbere, from → re- + sorbere "to swallow, suck up."

Bâzšam, from bâz "again, back," → re-, + šam, variant of zšâm, as in âšâm, âšâmidan "to drink, to sip;" Av. šam- "to drink, sip, swallow;" Skt. cam, camati "to sip, dirink, lick up, absorb."

The act or process of restoring such as → image restoration.

Verbal noun of → restore.

The act of restricting, the state or the condition of being restricted.

Verbal noun, → restrict + → -tion.

An acceleration that results from the vector addition of two or more distinct accelerations.

→ resultant; → acceleration.

The act of retarding or state of being retarded. → retardation plate.

Verbal noun of → retard.

Same as → wave plate.

→ retardation; → plate.

The orbital motion or rotation of a solar system body in a clockwise direction (East to West) when viewed from the north pole of the ecliptic. It is a motion opposed to the → direct motion of the great majority of solar system bodies.

→ retrograde; → motion.

the act or work of revising. a process of revising. a revised form or version, as of a book.

Verbal noun of → revise.

The act of revoking; annulment.

Verbal noun of → revoke.

The movement of a celestial body which is in orbit around another. It is often measured as the → orbital period.

Verbal noun of → revolve.
