Definition of ellipsoid in English:

ellipsoid

noun ɪˈlɪpsɔɪdəˈlɪpsɔɪd

    Example sentencesExamples
    • The positions of drug atoms are denoted by small magenta spheres and the predicted binding sites by colored ellipsoids (red near hydrogen donor atoms and blue near hydrogen acceptor atoms on the bases).
    • Thus, each cluster is represented by an ellipsoid using the new axes as the ellipsoidal axes, and the variance along these axes (square-roots of the eigenvalues) as the axis lengths.
