Definitions and meanings of "Conformal"

What do we mean by conformal?

Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged. adjective

Of or relating to a map projection in which small areas are rendered with true shape. adjective

Of the same form.

In mathematics, conserving angles or establishing infinitesimal similarity.

Describing something that conforms, especially that matches the shape of something. adjective

Describing a map projection which has the property of preserving relative angles over small scales (except at a limited number of distinct points). On such map projections the scale depends only location but not direction. Also referred to as orthomorphic. adjective

That conforms, especially to the shape of something.

(of a transformation) That preserves angles between intersecting curves.

(of a map projection) That preserves relative angles over small scales, at all but a limited number of distinct points.

The tendency for all human beings to atttempt to belong to a group of people, by any means necessary, in order to feel secure and wanted. Conformity is displayed particularly well by weak-minded individuals who fear loneliness, and when alone feel too afraid to stand up for themselves. Conformity is allowing anything other than your own true desires to influence your decision making. Conformity is what separates the true individuals, who are oppressed and hated, from everybody else. Urban Dictionary

Conformity is the act of 'blending in with the crowd' or emulating the actions of another individual, group, or belief system. Conformity can be linked to a fear of rejection or the presence of apathy in a person. For instance, in a school-system, different social sects will conform to a certain style of clothing or behavior in order to fit in with a certain group. Conformity is also a part of conversation. In our daily lives, we will consistently conform to the opinions and ideas of other people. Conforming to the idea of another doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with something they say that you don't believe in, but it can be, and this is where the negative side of conformity comes from. In conversational conformity, one can sit back and watch while someone they like/befriended is being attacked or even join in. This example of negative conformity is often found in schools and in the workplace. The desire for acceptance drives people to offer negative information about another person in order to fuel their conversational counterpart's drive for drama. Urban Dictionary

To accept values and ideas, regardless of wether you agree with them, in order to follow the crowd, giving the conformist an illusion of brotherhood. prep Urban Dictionary

To do something everyone else is doing, just because everyone else is doing it. See conformist Urban Dictionary

To do something just because someone else or a group of people are doing it Most gothic teenagers don't want to conform but end up doing so by dressing all the same. Urban Dictionary

To dress formally just to conform. To conform by dressing formally. Urban Dictionary

When a dictator, such as a coach, makes you change all aspects of your thinking or ways of doing things to make he/she happy. People who conform are usually suck ups or do not want to get punished, but in the end there will most likely be punishment, such as running until you throw up or screaming at you until you want to cry. Most of the time it is the coach's way or the highway. A lot of times the dictators are hypocrites, who say their rules but don't always back them up. Rule of thumb: don't conform shawty! Urban Dictionary

/Noun/ The act of conforming; to conform. Human nature. /Inescapable./ /Everyone/ conforms. Everyone /will /always/ conform. Urban Dictionary

Non-conformity = conformity Urban Dictionary

Something that hipocritical and annoying people run around and bitch about, usually because they are still bitter and pissed off about not fitting in with the majority of their society. Of course, all of their actions are based on the actions of another, since it is impossible to base an action on something you have never seen before. And if you really weren't a conformist, you would create all your own clothes, speak your own personal language, play and listen to only your own music, and invent unique foods to eat. Oh wait, you would still be a conformist, because you would be basing your anti-conformity on the widespread bitching about conformity. Urban Dictionary

The word "conformal" in example sentences

You argue that there are two difficulties with AdS/CFT: that strong forms of it are inconsistent with the bending of light by gravitational fields, and that the evidence supports a weaker relation that you call conformal induction. ❋ Sean (2007)

Mr. Penrose points out that, as one goes back toward the infinite energy density of the Big Bang, the geometry of the early universe could in some sense be called conformal. ❋ Peter Woit (2011)

Penrose's cyclic cosmological model is a particular application of his conformal compactification construction, which takes any space-time, whether or not it contains singularities, and whether or not it is infinite in time or space, and constructs a finite (compactified) space-time with boundary, whose metric is related to the original metric of space-time by a locally variable scale factor & #937, called the conformal factor. ❋ Gordon McCabe (2009)

The corneas were coated in 250 nm of nickel using a technique developed at Penn State called conformal-evaporated-film-by-rotation. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Mercator is also a "conformal" map projection. ❋ Jlundberg (2007)

Despite the English way of not really asking questions much in seminars and the like (which drove me nuts when I was here, and still does now), I think that Durham offers the best all-round training for students or postdocs in theoretical high energy physics (either phenomenological or more formal, such as conformal field theory, integrable systems, strings) in the UK, and can give several places around the world a run for their money. ❋ Cjohnson (2005)

I don’t want to comment further on this until I’ve done some more reading, but if you want to see a Penrose diagram (aka conformal diagram) of an evaporating black hole, there’s one on page 413 of Wald’s General Relativity. ❋ Sean (2007)

Researchers at Wake Forest University's Center for Nanotechnology and Molecular Materials are working to create flexible, or "conformal," organic solar cells that can be wrapped around surfaces, rolled up or even painted onto structures. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The theories on the worldsheet must be conformal which is string theory's way to demand the spacetime equations of motion - the beta-functions are the equations of motion. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The conformal factor & #937 blows up towards the end of the worldline of a mental system, providing such a system with an infinite lapse of subjective time, even though, to an external observer, a finite time lapses before the death of that system. ❋ Gordon McCabe (2009)

Perhaps, however, there is a sense in which we can use a well-known psychological phenomenon, and the mathematics of conformal transformations, to rescue the dead from these singularities. ❋ Gordon McCabe (2009)

The key words are "conformal" and "cyclic," and to explain Mr. Penrose's theory, it is best to take them in reverse order. ❋ Peter Woit (2011)

Likewise, as one goes far enough into our distant, boring future, if everything turns into massless radiation, there's no usable energy scale—and the geometry is also conformal. ❋ Peter Woit (2011)

That means they will always be around to provide an energy scale, no matter how far out into the future one goes, ruining the conformal symmetry needed to ultimately match up with the Big Bang. ❋ Peter Woit (2011)

I believe that ESAS also assumed the use of non-conformal tanks for the US. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Last I heard the US uses conformal tanks, a much more elaborate and expensive approach. ❋ Unknown (2009)

M.C. Escher was the first to popularize applying conformal mapping to images, but with computers we can easily apply the same ideas to photographs, to get results like this: ❋ Unknown (2009)

So I turned to the Wolfram Demonstrations Project, where I found a Demonstration on conformal mapping and modified its code using the mapping that interests me. ❋ Unknown (2009)
