Polarities, meanwhile, more simply describe two categories: positive and negative. “Astrologers may use different terms, including active/receptive, yang/yin, or masculine/feminine, but this in ...

Researchers have developed a novel negative-stiffness isolation device that offers a pioneering solution for seismic protection. The device, designed to provide multidirectional negative stiffness ...

MIKE MOSS SAYS: John, Most of the newer lightning display graphics used by on-air meteorologists discriminate between strikes having negative polarity (transferring negative charge to the surface ...

(a,b) Seismic reflection images. Note that a negative polarity at the branch (panel ii) and at several locations of the plate boundary (panels iii–vi) suggests a sudden velocity reduction ...
