conjugate axis

[′kän·jə·gət ′ak·səs]
(mathematics)
For a hyperbola whose equation in cartesian coordinates has the standard form (x 2/ a 2) - (y 2/ b 2) = 1, the portion of the y axis from (0,-b) to (0, b).

Further processing shows that the row of set triangles is increasing based on criteria of maximum correlation coefficient of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters of semi-minor axis and integral velocity index of the vertical displacement.
It is obvious that the priority of selected triangles has close correlation between semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters and integral velocity index of the vertical displacement.
Changing dependence of integral velocity index of the vertical displacement and semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters for the 16 selected triangles with a degree of correlation more than 0.998 in 2011 is shown in Figure 9a.
b is the value of semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters;
It shows close functional connection by the equation (5) of semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters and integral velocity index of the vertical displacement.
Reliability of approximation b of semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters in equation (5) using data of 2011 (see Fig.
This equation gives the possibility for the territories with close correlation connection between b and |[delta][V.sub.int]| based on the earthquake distribution parameters, exactly on the semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters b and integral velocity index of the vertical displacement |[delta][V.sub.int]|, which shows the intensity of vertical movements of the Earth's surface.
To study the characteristics of these areas statistic analysis of the division of earthquake for observation period has been done for the set areas and for areas with high seismic activity for which no correlative connection between the integral velocity index of the vertical displacement and semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters has been set.
16) for which during 5-7 years the correlation coefficient between b (semi-minor axis of ellipse of scattering earthquake epicenters) that corresponds to the background seismicity of the territory, and |[delta][V.sub.int]| (integral index of the velocity of the vertical displacement of the territory) was within 0.95-0.99.
The outer membranes of a total of 231 mitochondrial sections were traced in these micrographs using the program ImageJ, which ellipticized each trace yielding minor and major axes, from which a semi-minor axis b and an eccentricity e could be determined (4).
The predicted size distribution [[PHI].sub.1](r) of the prolate spheroids is dependent on the parameters [[mu].sub.r], [[sigma].sub.r], which describe the most likely normal distribution of the semi-minor axis, r.
Explicitly, in the case of spheroid size (semi-minor axis, r, Fig.
