This approach is different from the 3D-QSAR approach in that the descriptors are computed from scalar quantities ( e . g ., energies, geometric parameters ) rather than from 3D fields.

In kinesiology a "'Movement parameter "'is an adjustable scalar quantity to be specified in a motor system, i . e . movement-control system ( See : kinesiology, graphonomics ).
23.
We notice that the volumetric flow rate Q _ a is a scalar quantity, and that the direction is taken care of by the normal vector of the surface ( area ) and the volumetric flux ( Darcy velocity ).
24.
But kinetic energy is a scalar quantity-so it's perfectly OK that the energy from your foot going forwards adds to the energy of the ball coming towards you when it turns around and heads off across the pitch.
25.
Helicity is a pseudo-scalar quantity : it changes sign under change from a right-handed to a left-handed frame of reference; it can be considered as a measure of the handedness ( or chirality ) of the flow.
26.
The theorem implies that on any great circle around the world, for the temperature, pressure, elevation, carbon dioxide concentration, or any other similar scalar quantity which varies continuously, there will always exist two antipodal points that share the same value for that variable.
27.
However, marking vectors ( with a small arrow, or a boldface font, or a squiggle, or whatever you want to use ) can be helpful especially when they're used in expressions with scalar quantities to make sure that you only perform vector operations on vectors and scalar operations on scalars.
28.
First, as the energy that is released by adding an electron to an isolated atom ( gas phase ) . ( The energy-or electron affinity-is a scalar quantity and the direction of that energy-released-defines a reaction for which the change in energy ?E is a negative quantity ).
29.
The simplest forms of spatial data are " gridded data ", in which a scalar quantity is measured for each point in a regular grid of points, and " point sets ", in which a set of coordinates ( e . g . of points in the plane ) is observed.

In 1721,'s Gravesande became involved in a public controversy over whether the German inventor Johann Bessler, known as Councillor Orffyreus, had created a genuine perpetual motion machine .'s Gravesande at first argued for the feasibility of perpetual motion based on the conservation of the scalar quantity " mv " ( mass multiplied by speed ), which he erroneously believed was implied by Newtonian mechanics.
