Libration
Definition:
(n.) The act or state of librating.
(n.) A real or apparent libratory motion, like that of a balance before coming to rest.
Example Sentences:
(1) The simulation reproduces the amplitudes of the fast librational motions of the backbone N-H bonds determined from 15N nuclear magnetic relaxation data, as well as the crystallographic B-factors.
(2) This has provided information on the translational and librational motions of individual groups in the complex.
(3) Above about 52 degrees C cholesterol improves the order by decreasing the amplitude of the librational motions.
(4) In its thermal vibrations, the adenosine molecule behaves as two rigid segments with a torsional libration about the glycosidic bond of 14.4 deg2 at 123 K. The force constant for this libration, as determined from the diffraction data, is 73 (10) J mol-1 deg-2.
(5) In the 1970s, Princeton physicist Gerald K O’Neill envisioned 100,000-person colonies, stationed at what is known as the fifth Lagrangian libration point (L5) in the moon’s orbit – like a gravitational eddy where things stay put by themselves.
