Polarization is a property applying to transverse waves that specifies the geometrical orientation of the oscillations. In a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is transverse to the direction of motion of the wave, so the oscillations can have different directions perpendicular to the wave direction. A simple example of a polarized transverse wave is vibrations traveling along a taut string; for example, in a musical instrument like a guitar string. Depending on how the string is p
The Future of Poverty: Framing Uncertainty 75 Given both the weak basis for forecasting and slow change historically in domestic distributions, a fundamentally ï¬ at forecast is a reasonable pattern for the base case.8 Patterns of Potential Human Progress Volume 1: Reducing Global Poverty Third, however, those scenarios also remind us that the future is not simply a matter of different human action patterns.
Families at Risk. According to the American Community Survey, 12.4 percent of all families in North Carolina lived at or below poverty level for at least a year between 2008 and 2012.
