https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braun%27s%20lipoprotein | Braun's lipoprotein (BLP, Lpp, murein lipoprotein, or major outer membrane lipoprotein), found in some gram-negative cell walls, is one of the most abundant membrane proteins; its molecular weight is about 7.2 kDa. It is bound at its C-terminal end (a lysine) by a covalent bond to the peptidoglycan layer (specifically ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protoplast | Protoplast (), is a biological term coined by Hanstein in 1880 to refer to the entire cell, excluding the cell wall. Protoplasts can be generated by stripping the cell wall from plant, bacterial, or fungal cells by mechanical, chemical or enzymatic means.
Protoplasts differ from spheroplasts in that their cell wall h... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic%20resonance | Stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon in which a signal that is normally too weak to be detected by a sensor, can be boosted by adding white noise to the signal, which contains a wide spectrum of frequencies. The frequencies in the white noise corresponding to the original signal's frequencies will resonate with ea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marr%E2%80%93Hildreth%20algorithm | In computer vision, the Marr–Hildreth algorithm is a method of detecting edges in digital images, that is, continuous curves where there are strong and rapid variations in image brightness. The Marr–Hildreth edge detection method is simple and operates by convolving the image with the Laplacian of the Gaussian function... |
