Caning when the county court decided that an abscess that developed on his hand was the result of a caning. Caning Caning is a form of corporal punishment consisting of a number of hits (known as "strokes" or "cuts") with a single cane usually made of rattan, generally applied to the offender's bare or clothed buttocks (see spanking) or hand(s) (on the palm). Caning on the knuckles or shoulders is much less common. Caning can also be applied to the soles of the feet (foot whipping or bastinado). The size and flexibility of the cane and the mode of application, as
Polar form of the Dirac equation complex equations and therefore eight equations in total, is equivalently written in terms of two real vectorial equations, which are two four-dimensional equations and therefore eight equations in total. This pair of coupled first-order differential equations is the polar form of the Dirac equation. Polar form of the Dirac equation The Dirac field is mathematically described by a spinor, which is an object consisting of four complex components transforming in terms of complex representations of the Lorentz group: a complex function can always be written as the product of a module times a unitary complex phase, and when this is
