Aspect can refer to: Aspect (computer science) is a feature that is linked to many parts of a program, but which is not necessarily the primary function of the program. Grammatical aspect is a grammatical feature having to do with the internal temporal flow of an event. Astrological aspect is the relative angle between two heavenly bodies. Aspect (geography) refers to the direction to which a mountain slope faces. Aspect was also the name of: Alain Aspect, the French p ...

Aspects: On a circular chart, it is easy to see interrelationships between the planets, Sun, Moon, and other significant astrological points. These relationships are measured in geometric terms, and are called aspects. Aspects are measured by the number of degrees which separate two planets or points on the chart.

Aspects: Relationship between points in the chart. They are angles measured from the center of the chart. Specific angles are found to be significant.

Baqaa - First aspect: The level of acts. The first aspect of the Sufi permanency is situated at the level of acts. The action of the Sufi is here united with the divine action acquiring its order, harmony and durability. This specific degree of Sufi ‘’baqâ'’’ is the result of the shooting forth of the divine theophany as existential principle and the lights of nature as source of knowledge. Baqaa - Second aspect: The level of ...

Aspect is a feature of grammar that gives information about the temporal flow of language. Chinese has a unique complement of aspects: for example, there are two perfectives, 了 (-le) and 过 [過] (-guo) which subtly differ in meaning. le (perfective) 我(See also:

In geography, aspect generally refers to the direction to which a mountain slope faces. For example, a slope on the eastern edge of the Rockies toward the Great Plains is described as having an easterly aspect. A slope which falls down to a deep valley on its western side and a shallower one on its eastern side has a westerly aspect or is a west-facing slope. The term can also be used to describe the shape or alignment of a coastline. Here, the aspect is the direction which the coastline is facing towards the sea. For example, as northwest-trading coastline with sea to the northeast (as ...

An aspect of music is any characteristic, dimension, or element taken as a part or component of music. The traditional musicological or European-influenced aspects of music often listed are those elements given primacy in European-influenced classical music: melody, harmony, rhythm, tone color, and form. Melody is a succession of notes heard as some sort of unit. Harmony is the relationship between two or more simultaneous pitches or pitch simultaneities. Rhythm is the organization of the durational aspe ...

Alain Aspect is a French physicist. In the early 1980s, with collaborators in France, he performed the crucial "Bell test experiments" that showed that Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky & Nathan Rosen's reductio ad absurdum of quantum mechanics, namely that it implied 'ghostly action at a distance', did in fact appear to be realised when two particles were separated by an arbitrarily large distance. A correlation between their wave functions remained, as they were once part of the same wave function that was not distur ...

In computer science, an aspect is a part of a program that cross-cuts its core concerns, therefore violating its separation of concerns. In other words, it is needed to complete the program, but is not necessarily specific to the domain the program is written for. Isolating such aspects as logging and persistence from business logic is the aim of the aspect-oriented programming paradigm. Another possible view is that every major feature of the program, core concern (business logic), or cross-cutting concern (additional features), is an aspect, and by weaving them to ...

In software engineering, the programming paradigm of aspect-oriented programming (AOP), also called aspect-oriented software development (AOSD), attempts to aid programmers in the separation of concerns, or the breaking down of a program into distinct parts that overlap in functionality as little as possible. In particular, AOP focuses on the modularization and encapsulation of cross-cutting concerns. Gregor Kiczales and his team at Xerox PARC originated this concept. This team also d ...

The aspect ratio of an image is its displayed width divided by its height (usually expressed as "x:y"). For instance, the aspect ratio of a traditional television screen is 4:3, or 1.33:1. High definition television uses an aspect of 16:9, or about 1.78:1. Aspect ratios of 2.39:1 (2.35:1 prior to SMPTE revision in 1970) or 1.85:1 are frequently used in cinematography, while the aspect ratio of a sync-sound 35 mm film frame is around 1.37:1 (also known as "Academy" ratio). Silent films which used the full fr ...

In aerodynamics, the aspect ratio is an airplane's wing's span divided by its standard mean chord (SMC). It can be calculated more easily, however as span squared divided by wing area: Aspect ratio is a powerful indicator of the general performance of a wing. Wingtip vortices greatly deteriorate the performance of a wing, and by reducing the amount of wing tip area, making it skinny or pointed for instance, you reduce the amount of energy lost to this process, and increase the lift generated by the wing. This is why high perfo ...

The wetted aspect ratio is a good indication of the aerodynamic efficiency of an aircraft. It is a better measure than the aspect ratio. It is defined as: where Sw is the wetted surface of the whole aircraft in contrast to the wing area used for the definition of the aspect ratio. A good example of this is the Boeing B-47 and Avro Vulcan. Both aircraft have very similar performance although they are radically different. The B-47 has a high aspect ratio wing, while the Avro Vulcan is a low aspect ratio blend

In astrology, an aspect is the relative angle between two heavenly bodies. These aspects are held to influence human affairs: the more exact the aspect is, the more important it is said to be. The difference between the exact aspect and the actual aspect is called the orb. As an example, if an astrologer creates a birth chart showing the apparent positions of the heavenly bodies at the times of a person's birth (a natal chart), and the apparent angle between Mars and Venus is 92°, the chart is said to have the aspect "Venus squ ...

In aspect-oriented programming a piece of advice describes a certain function, method or procedure that is to be applied at a given join point of a program. The following is taken from a discussion at the mailing list aosd-discuss. Pascal Costanza contributed the following: The term advice goes back to the term advising as introduced by Warren Teitelman in his PhD thesis in 1966. Here is a quote from Chapter 3 of his thesis: Advising is the basic innovation in the model, and in the PILOT system. A ...

In virtually all religions, marriage is a long-term union between two people and is established with ceremonies and rituals. The two people are most commonly a man and a woman, though many societies have permitted polygamous marriages, and same-sex marriage is now acknowledged in some places. Many religions have extensive teachings regarding marriage. Most Christian churches give some form of blessing to a marriage; the wedding ceremony typically includes some sort of pledge by the community to support the couple's relationship. In th ...

In some languages, aspect and time are very clearly separated, making them much more distinct to their speakers. There are a number of languages that mark aspect much more saliently than time. Prominent in this category is Chinese, which differentiates a whole slew of aspects but relies exclusively on (optional) time-words to pinpoint an action with respect to time. In other language groups, for example in most modern Indo-European languages (except Slavic languages), aspect has become alm ...

According to one prevalent account, the English tense system is considered to have strictly only two basic times (since no primitive future tense exists in English, and the futurity of an event is expressed in English through the use of the auxiliary verbs "will" and "shall", by use of a present form, as in "tomorrow we go to Newark", or by some other means). But present and past are expressed using direct modifications of the verb, which may then be modified further by the progressive aspect (also called the continuous aspect), the perfect aspect (also called the completed aspect), or both. Each tense is ...
