Another function of the jig is to steady the piece of wood being cut to prevent excess cutting or inaccurate cuts. The size, shape, and function of a woodworking jig will vary significantly according to how it is being used and with what tool it is being used.
WMAP image of the (extremely tiny) anisotropies in the cosmic background radiation. Anisotropy /ËÃ¦naÉªËsÉtrÉpi/ is the property of being directionally dependent, which implies different properties in different directions, as opposed to isotropy.
(iv) Isotropy and Anisotropy: Amorphous solids differ from crystalline solids and resemble liquids in many respects. The properties of amorphous solids, such as, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, refractive index, coefficient of thermal expansion etc. are same in all directions. Such solids are known as isotropic. Gases and liquids are also isotropic.
