Lamé (fabric)
Lamé ( ; ) is a type of fabric Woven fabric, woven or Knitted fabric, knit with threads made of metallic fiber wrapped around natural or synthetic fibers like silk, nylon, or spandex for added strength and stretch. (''Guipé'' refers to the thread composed of metallic fibers wrapped around a fiber core.) Lamé is classically gold (color), gold, silver (color), silver, or copper (color), copper in color. Today, most mass-market lamé uses synthetic metallized BoPET, polyester film such as Mylar instead of true metallic fiber, so it is available in any color. A problem with lamé is that it is subject to seam or yarn slippage, making it less than ideal for garments worn frequently. The wrapped fibers can be coated in plastic to increase strength and to prevent tarnishing. Lamé is often used in evening and dress wear and in theatrical and dance costumes. It is also commonly used in futuristic costumes and spacesuits for science fiction television, films, and performances. C ...

Lamé (fencing)
In modern fencing, a lamé is an electrically conductive jacket worn by foil and sabre fencers in order to define the scoring area and register contact with it. Lamés are wired by use of a body cord to a scoring machine, which allows the other person's weapon to register touches when their tips (or blades, in sabre) contact the lamé. Lamés generally consist of a polyester jacket overlain with a thin, interwoven metal, usually steel or copper. This gives the lamés a metallic, gray appearance, but colored foil lamés have become increasingly popular. Lamés used in higher-level competitions usually have the last name and country of their owner printed in blue across the back. Because the scoring area is different for each weapon, the lamé may cover more or less of the body depending on which weapon the fencer uses. In foil, the lamé extends on the torso from the shoulders to the groin area, including the back. In sabre, the lamé covers both arms, the torso from the shoul ...

Lamé (crater)
Lamé is a lunar impact crater located astride the northeast rim of the crater Langrenus, to the east of Mare Fecunditatis. The eastern crater rim appears overlaid by a series of overlapping craters that form an intermittent chain flowing nearly a hundred kilometers to the south. The crater rim protrudes only slightly above the surrounding terrain, but it has a significant rampart where the rim lies within Vendelinus. In the middle of the floor is a slight ridge, forming a central peak. On some older maps this crater was called Smith. It was previously designated Vendelinus C before being renamed by the IAU The International Astronomical Union (IAU; , UAI) is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) with the objective of advancing astronomy in all aspects, including promoting astronomical research, outreach, education, and developmen ....

Peve Language
The Pévé language, sometimes referred to as Lamé (the main dialect), is a member of the Masa branch of the Chadic family that is spoken in parts of Cameroon and the Republic of Chad. Varieties The term "Zime" is not used in Cameroon, but it is used by ALCAM (2012) to serve as a cover term for the Lame, Peve, and three varieties spoken in Cameroon. There are 5,720 speakers (SIL 2000). Zime is spoken in Cameroon in Bénoué department (Northern Region), along the Chadian border. It is also spoken in Chad. The dialects spoken in Cameroon are: *Peve, in the north, straddling Bibemi Arrondissement ( Bénoué Department) and Rey-Bouba Arrondissement ( Mayo-Rey Department) *Taari, in the central area, in Rey Bouba Arrondissement ( Mayo-Rey Department) to the west of Bouba Njida National Park *Lame, in Rey Bouba Arrondissement, but to the east of Bouba Njida National Park, in the Djibao (Dzipao) area.

Gabriel Lamé
Gabriel Lamé (22 July 1795 – 1 May 1870) was a French mathematician who contributed to the theory of partial differential equations by the use of curvilinear coordinates, and the mathematical theory of elasticity (for which linear elasticity and finite strain theory elaborate the mathematical abstractions). Biography Lamé was born in Tours, in today's ''département'' of Indre-et-Loire. He became well known for his general theory of curvilinear coordinates and his notation and study of classes of ellipse-like curves, now known as Lamé curves or superellipses, and defined by the equation: : \left, \,\,\^n + \left, \,\,\^n = 1 where ''n'' is any positive real number. He is also known for his running time analysis of the Euclidean algorithm, marking the beginning of computational complexity theory. In 1844, using Fibonacci numbers, he proved that when finding the greatest common divisor of integers ''a'' and ''b'', the algorithm runs in no more than 5''k'' steps, where ...

Lamé Curve
A superellipse, also known as a Lamé curve after Gabriel Lamé, is a closed curve resembling the ellipse, retaining the geometric features of semi-major axis and semi-minor axis, and symmetry about them, but defined by an equation that allows for various shapes between a rectangle and an ellipse. In two dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, a superellipse is defined as the set of all points (x,y) on the curve that satisfy the equation\left, \frac\^n\!\! + \left, \frac\^n\! = 1,where a and b are positive numbers referred to as semi-diameters or semi-axes of the superellipse, and n is a positive parameter that defines the shape. When n=2, the superellipse is an ordinary ellipse. For n>2, the shape is more rectangular with rounded corners, and for 0, it is more pointed. In the , the superellipse equ ...

Lamé Parameters
In continuum mechanics, Lamé parameters (also called the Lamé coefficients, Lamé constants or Lamé moduli) are two material-dependent quantities denoted by ''λ'' and ''μ'' that arise in strain- stress relationships. In general, ''λ'' and ''μ'' are individually referred to as ''Lamé's first parameter'' and ''Lamé's second parameter'', respectively. Other names are sometimes employed for one or both parameters, depending on context. For example, the parameter ''μ'' is referred to in fluid dynamics as the dynamic viscosity of a fluid (not expressed in the same units); whereas in the context of elasticity, ''μ'' is called the shear modulus, and is sometimes denoted by ''G'' instead of ''μ''. Typically the notation ''G'' is seen paired with the use of Young's modulus ''E'', and the notation ''μ'' is paired with the use of ''λ''. In homogeneous and isotropic materials, these define Hooke's law in 3D, \boldsymbol = 2\mu \boldsymbol + \lambda \; \operatorname(\boldsymbo ...

Lame (other)
LAME is a software encoder that converts digital audio into the MP3 audio coding format. LAME is a free software project that was first released in 1998 and has incorporated many improvements since then, including an improved psychoacoustic model. The LAME encoder outperforms early encoders like L3enc and possibly the "gold standard encoder" MP3enc, both marketed by Fraunhofer. LAME was required by some programs released as free software in which LAME was linked for MP3 support. This avoided including LAME itself, which used patented techniques, and so required patent licenses in some countries. All relevant patents have since expired, and LAME is now bundled with Audacity. History The name LAME is a recursive acronym for "LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder". Around mid-1998, Mike Cheng created LAME 1.0 as a set of modifications against the 8Hz-MP3 encoder source code. After some quality concerns were raised by others, he decided to start again from scratch based on the dist10 M ...
