In mathematics, a jacket matrix is a square matrix of order n whose entries are non-zero and from a field,( including real field, complex field, or finite field ) if

where In is the identity matrix, and

where T denotes the transpose of the matrix.

Set diagram representing the relationship between jacket matrices, Hadamard matrices, and other matrix families

The jacket matrix is a generalization of the Hadamard matrix. The most important property of a jacket matrix is that its inverse may be determined by its element-wise or block-wise inverse.

There are three main classes of matrices :

1.Orthogonal matrices:

 

2.Unitary matrices:

 

3.Jacket matrices:

Human Nose Morphology and Air Humidity

edit

Human Nose height and width will vary based on air humidity. In Australia Cairns there is a tree called Strangler Fig. A base of the tree is shaped to maximize an absorption of a moisture and resembles a human nose. By comparing morphology of a nose of Asians against Europeans and Americans, one can see that they noticeably differ from each other: Asians’ noses are statistically smaller.


                       	Asian & Korean	     Europe & Americans
Humidity	                 66.8 %         	≈ 30%
Nose (30 years old)	  Height ≈ 2 cm         Height ≈ 2.6 cm
                           Length ≈ 5 cm	  Length ≈ 5.8 cm



One of the consequences of race-dependent nose morphology is a presence of a substantial amount of strong nasal phones in European languages. To compensate for a low-moisture level, Europeans and Americans tend to drink lots of coffee and beer …
