Home > Parabolic fractal distribution

 
In the parabolic fractal distribution, the logarithm of the frequency or size of entities in a population is a quadratic polynomial of the logarithm of the rank. This can markedly improve the fit over a simple power-law relationship (see external link below).

In a number of cases, there is a so-called King effect where the highest-ranked item has a significantly greater frequency or size than the model predicts on the basis of the other items.

Parabolic microphoneA parabolic microphone uses a parabolic reflector to collect and focus sound waves onto a microphone receiver, in much the same way that a parabolic antenna (e. satellite dish) does with radio waves. Typical uses of this microphone, which has unusually foParabolic reflectorA parabolic reflector (also known as a parabolic dish or a parabolic mirror is a reflective device formed in the shape of a paraboloid of revolution. Parabolic reflectors can either collect or distribute energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. The paParabolic antennaThe Parabolic antenna is a high-gain, reflector antenna used for radio, television and data communications, and also for radiolocation ( RADAR), on the UHF and SHF frequencies. The relatively short wavelength of electromagnetic (radio) energy at these fre
Parabolic coordinatesParabolic coordinates are an alternative system of coordinates for three dimensions. They are orthogonal. Conversion from Cartesian to parabolic coordinates is effected by means of the following equations: : : : : : If φ 0 then a cross-section is obtaParabolic troughA parabolic trough is a type of solar thermal collector. It is constructed as a long parabolic mirror with a Dewar tube running its length at the focal point. Sunlight is reflected by the mirror and concentrated on the Dewar tube.

When moving away from the source it is called an escape orbit, otherwise a capture orbit. Under standard assumptions a body traveling along an esc
