https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary%20of%20shapes%20with%20metaphorical%20names | Many shapes have metaphorical names, i.e., their names are metaphors: these shapes are named after a most common object that has it. For example, "U-shape" is a shape that resembles the letter U, a bell-shaped curve has the shape of the vertical cross-section of a bell, etc. These terms may variously refer to objects, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized%20inverse | In mathematics, and in particular, algebra, a generalized inverse (or, g-inverse) of an element x is an element y that has some properties of an inverse element but not necessarily all of them. The purpose of constructing a generalized inverse of a matrix is to obtain a matrix that can serve as an inverse in some sense... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestigial%20response | A vestigial response or vestigial reflex in a species is a response that has lost its original function. In humans, vestigial responses include ear perking, goose bumps and the hypnic jerk.
In humans
Ear perking
It has been observed that some people have slight protrusions on the outer ear (also known as the auricle... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20game%20theory | Quantum game theory is an extension of classical game theory to the quantum domain. It differs from classical game theory in three primary ways:
Superposed initial states,
Quantum entanglement of initial states,
Superposition of strategies to be used on the initial states.
This theory is based on the physics of inform... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem%20of%20the%20cube | In mathematics, the theorem of the cube is a condition for a line bundle over a product of three complete varieties to be trivial. It was a principle discovered, in the context of linear equivalence, by the Italian school of algebraic geometry. The final version of the theorem of the cube was first published by , who c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute%20irreducibility | In mathematics, a multivariate polynomial defined over the rational numbers is absolutely irreducible if it is irreducible over the complex field. For example, is absolutely irreducible, but while is irreducible over the integers and the reals, it is reducible over the complex numbers as and thus not absolutely irr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical%20Engineering%20Society | BMES (the Biomedical Engineering Society) is the professional society for students, faculty, researcher and industry working in the broad area of biomedical engineering. BMES is the leading biomedical engineering society in the United States and was founded on February 1, 1968 "to promote the increase of biomedical eng... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual%20abelian%20variety | In mathematics, a dual abelian variety can be defined from an abelian variety A, defined over a field K.
Definition
To an abelian variety A over a field k, one associates a dual abelian variety Av (over the same field), which is the solution to the following moduli problem. A family of degree 0 line bundles parametriz... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-professional | E-professional or "eprofessional" or even "eProfessional" is a term used in Europe to describe a professional whose work relies on concepts of remote work: working at a distance using information technology and communications technology, as well as online collaboration (i.e. virtual team, mass collaboration, massively ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-bias%20temperature%20instability | Negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a key reliability issue in MOSFETs, a type of transistor aging. NBTI manifests as an increase in the threshold voltage and consequent decrease in drain current and transconductance of a MOSFET. The degradation is often approximated by a power-law dependence on time. It is... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose%20fractionation | Dose fractionation effects are utilised in the treatment of cancer with radiation therapy. When the total dose of radiation is divided into several, smaller doses over a period of several days, there are fewer toxic effects on healthy cells. This maximizes the effect of radiation on cancer and minimizes the negative si... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statisticians%27%20and%20engineers%27%20cross-reference%20of%20statistical%20terms | The following terms are used by electrical engineers in statistical signal processing studies instead of typical statistician's terms.
In other engineering fields, particularly mechanical engineering, uncertainty analysis examines systematic and random components of variations in measurements associated with physical ... |
