I principle because many movements can be derived from the 3 or 4 fold machines.
4- Fold would mean the normal 3 Cartesian axises and a rotation. What do you need more than that.
Earlier there was a 2 1/2 fold machine, but that was because of the difficulty of making the third axis smooth. The X and Y axis were smooth, but introducing the Z axis was difficult, so for a time the Z axis could only be done in steps like south east Asian farming shelves.
A syncline.
A molecule possess an n-fold alternating axis of symmetry if,when rotated through an angle of 3600/n about this axis and then followed by reflection of in plane perpendicular to the axis;the molecule is indistinguishable from the original molecule.
Becuase 5-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold or any other higher-fold crystal's structure (shape) is based on the geometric arrangement of atoms, so can not completely fill the space.
The Nucleosome has an approximate two fold axis of symmetry which is called the Dyad Axis. So when you rotate the Nucleosome by 180 degree you would observe the similar view of Nucleosome before the rotation.
1 ml solute to 19 mls solvent. This gives a total volume of 20 (20 fold)
This question doesn't seem to make sense. First of all, does the 2-fold rotation mean once about the x-axis, then once about the y-axis?Secondly, rotations are around a point, but reflections are over a line (which is what an axis is)Please edit your question and resubmit.
Complexity of folds are defined by the axis and incline. The simplest folds have a horizontal axis and a slight incline.
The self rotation function indicates a six fold rotation axis parallel with the x-axis.
A FOLD has a strata on both limbs dipping inward toward the axis.
A syncline.
a trough or fold of stratified rock in which the strata slope upward from the axis.

A two-fold symmetry has a 360 degrees rotation. A three-fold rotational symmetry, on the other hand, has 120 degrees, and on a horizontal axis, a symmetry has 180 degrees.
Sting rays have a two fold axis of symmetry which would make it closed symmetry.
Stop a bullet cold, make the Axis fold. Change their minds and change the world.
