1. centering

   Centring, centre, centering, or center is a type of formwork: the temporary structure upon which the stones of an arch or vault are laid during construction. Until the keystone is inserted an arch has no strength and needs the centring to keep the voussoirs in their correct relative positions. A simple centring without a truss is called a common centring. A cross piece connecting centring frames is called a lag or bolst.Centring is normally made of wood timbers, a relatively straightforward structure in a simple arch or vault; but with more complex shapes involving double curvature, such as a dome or the bottle-shaped flue in a Norman-period kitchen, clay or sand bound by a weak lime mortar would be used. Shaping could be done by eye, perhaps with the help of a template, then stones or bricks laid against it. On larger works like a 19th-century pottery kiln this was impractical. The structure would be built round a post acting as a datum, and each course of stonework would be set at a distance from the datum. When the centring is removed (as in "striking the centring"), pointing and other finishing continues.

1. centering

   Centering refers to the process of adjusting data by subtracting the mean of the data set from each data point. This technique is commonly used in statistical analysis and data preprocessing to remove any systematic bias in the data. The process of centering repositions the data around a central value of zero, making it easier to interpret and analyze. It's also utilized in various fields like psychology, sociology, and machine learning.
