Predictable variation of a property of a material with the direction in which it is measured, which can occur at all scales. For a crystal of a mineral, variation in physical properties observed in di [..]

Very small patches in the sky where the temperature of the cosmic microwave background is slightly different to the average; these temperature variations are of the order of microkelvin.

Anisotropy refers to a material exhibiting different values of a property in different crystallographic directions.

n. refers to the state of differences with respect to orientation, direction, symmetry, or form. In vision, this refers to differences between the perceptions of the right and left eyes. Also known as [..]

The situation where properties vary according to the direction in which they are measured.

(n) the property of being anisotropic; having a different value when measured in different directions

Anisotropy designates different character in different directions. It is the opposite of Isotropy what designates identical character in all directions. A material has anisotropic characteristics, if those are different in different directions, for example its stiffness or its electric conductivity. Materials with anisotropic characteristics for ex [..]

A property of metal products indicating metal sheet resistance to thinning during deformation process

Variations in one or more physical or mechanical properties with direction

the condition of having properties that are directionally dependent. It is the opposite of isotropy. Of particular concern with recording tape formulations is the anisotropy of magnetic particles, whi [..]

In hydrology, the conditions under which one or more hydraulic properties of an aquifer vary from a reference point.

In hydrology, the conditions under which one or more hydraulic properties of an aquifer vary from a reference point.

A physical property showing different values in relation to the direction in or along which the measurement is made. The physical property may be with regard to thermal or Electric Conductivity or Lig [..]

<radiobiology> Term used to describe a medium whose characteristic properties vary with direction of travel through the medium. (for example, velocity of light transmission, conductivity of heat or electric current, compressibility, etc.) Annihilation of magnetic field & Anode (09 Oct 1997)

is the state of being directionally dependent. The property of being anisotropic and having a different value when measured in different directions.

The conditions under which one or more of the hydraulic properties of an aquifer vary with direction.

The property of being directionally dependent. ''Velvet exhibits anisotropy when rotated about its geometric normal.'' The degree to which this property is exhibited.
