In this paper, regular italics symbols, boldface lower-case symbols, boldface upper-case symbols, and regular upper-case symbols denote scalars, vectors, matrices, and sets, respectively. |
Mortality rates are vectors, not scalars, i.e. one number per age and gender. |
Higgsinos and gauginos are the names of the fermionic superpartners of the Higgs scalars and gauge bosons respectively. |
These contrast with scalars, which have a size but no direction, for example temperature or mass. |
Together these three loci seem to fit the circumstances under which separate estimates of both mutation scalars and inheritance scalars can be obtained. |
Some physical and geometric quantities, called scalars, can be fully defined by specifying their magnitude in suitable units of measure. |
