Folding

Fold or folding may refer to:

  • Paper folding, the art of folding paper
  • Book folding, in book production
  • Skin fold, an area of skin that folds
  • Fold (poker), in the game of poker, to discard one's hand and forfeit interest in the current pot
  • Fold (album), the debut release by Australian rock band Epicure
  • FOLD, the NASDAQ stock trading symbol for Amicus Therapeutics
  • The fold in newspapers, used to demarcate content above the fold
  • Sheep fold, a sheep pen in British English
  • Folding bicycle, bicycle designed to fold into a compact form
  • Science

  • Fold (geology), one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces that are bent or curved as a result of plastic deformation
  • Folding (chemistry), the process by which a molecule assumes its shape or conformation
    • Protein folding, the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure
    • Folding@home, a powerful distributed-computing project for simulating protein folding
  • Protein folding, the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure
  • Dynkin diagram

    In the mathematical field of Lie theory, a Dynkin diagram, named for Eugene Dynkin, is a type of graph with some edges doubled or tripled (drawn as a double or triple line). The multiple edges are, within certain constraints, directed.

    The main interest in Dynkin diagrams are as a means to classify semisimple Lie algebras over algebraically closed fields. This gives rise to Weyl groups, i.e. to many (although not all) finite reflection groups. Dynkin diagrams may also arise in other contexts.

    The term "Dynkin diagram" can be ambiguous. In some cases, Dynkin diagrams are assumed to be directed, in which case they correspond to root systems and semi-simple Lie algebras, while in other cases they are assumed to be undirected, in which case they correspond to Weyl groups; the B_n and C_n directed diagrams yield the same undirected diagram, correspondingly named BC_n. In this article, "Dynkin diagram" means directed Dynkin diagram, and undirected Dynkin diagrams will be explicitly so named.

    Fold (geology)

    A geological fold occurs when one or a stack of originally flat and planar surfaces, such as sedimentary strata, are bent or curved as a result of permanent deformation. Synsedimentary folds are those due to slumping of sedimentary material before it is lithified. Folds in rocks vary in size from microscopic crinkles to mountain-sized folds. They occur singly as isolated folds and in extensive fold trains of different sizes, on a variety of scales.

    Folds form under varied conditions of stress, hydrostatic pressure, pore pressure, and temperature gradient, as evidenced by their presence in soft sediments, the full spectrum of metamorphic rocks, and even as primary flow structures in some igneous rocks. A set of folds distributed on a regional scale constitutes a fold belt, a common feature of orogenic zones. Folds are commonly formed by shortening of existing layers, but may also be formed as a result of displacement on a non-planar fault (fault bend fold), at the tip of a propagating fault (fault propagation fold), by differential compaction or due to the effects of a high-level igneous intrusion e.g. above a laccolith.

    Folding

    by: Sonichrome

    i'm folding
    my curtains are pulled down tight
    cursing back at my life
    i'm folding
    i'm folding
    deaf, dumb, and screwed up blind
    the salted tears are flooding my eyes
    i'm folding
    i'm folding
    the ringing in my ears covers the silence
    i would kiss you but you're killing me with kindness
    i'm folding
    i'm folding
    all of these things make me who i am
    and i don't even know exactly where i stand but
    i'm folding
    share while you can share
    be with who you can be with
    these things make you who you are
    take time to enjoy the ones
    that bring you your joy and fun
    i'm talking about survival
    i'm talking about my life
    cause i'm folding
    my curtains are pulled open wide
    i'm looking forward to better times
    i'm folding
    i'm folding
    i'm skimming my way through life
    i'm folding the pages that i like
