https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shredding%20%28disassembling%20genomic%20data%29 | Shredding refers to the process in bioinformatics of taking assembled gene sequences and disassembling them into short sequences of usually 500 to 750 base pairs (bp). This is generally done for the purpose of taking the short shredded sequences and reapplying various analysis and bioinformatic techniques. Being able t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercondylar%20fossa%20of%20femur | The intercondylar fossa of femur (intercondyloid fossa of femur, intercondylar notch of femur) is a deep notch between the rear surfaces of the medial and lateral epicondyle of the femur, two protrusions on the distal end of the femur (thigh bone) that joins the knee. On the front of the femur, the condyles are but muc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schanuel%27s%20lemma | In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as module theory, Schanuel's lemma, named after Stephen Schanuel, allows one to compare how far modules depart from being projective. It is useful in defining the Heller operator in the stable category, and in giving elementary descriptions of dimension shifting.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregeometry%20%28physics%29 | In physics, a pregeometry is a hypothetical structure from which the geometry of the universe develops. Some cosmological models feature a pregeometric universe before the Big Bang. The term was championed by John Archibald Wheeler in the 1960s and 1970s as a possible route to a theory of quantum gravity. Since quantum... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered%20dithering | Ordered dithering is an image dithering algorithm. It is commonly used to display a continuous image on a display of smaller color depth. For example, Microsoft Windows uses it in 16-color graphics modes. The algorithm is characterized by noticeable crosshatch patterns in the result.

The algorithm redu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suillellus%20luridus | Suillellus luridus (formerly Boletus luridus), commonly known as the lurid bolete, is a fungus of the family Boletaceae, found in calcareous broadleaved woodlands in Europe. Fruit bodies appear in summer and autumn and may be locally abundant. It is a firm bolete with an olive-brown cap up to in diameter, with small o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Best%20bin%20first | Best bin first is a search algorithm that is designed to efficiently find an approximate solution to the nearest neighbor search problem in very-high-dimensional spaces. The algorithm is based on a variant of the kd-tree search algorithm which makes indexing higher-dimensional spaces possible. Best bin first is an appr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss%27s%20lemma%20%28Riemannian%20geometry%29 | In Riemannian geometry, Gauss's lemma asserts that any sufficiently small sphere centered at a point in a Riemannian manifold is perpendicular to every geodesic through the point. More formally, let M be a Riemannian manifold, equipped with its Levi-Civita connection, and p a point of M. The exponential map is a mapp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robertson%20Centre%20for%20Biostatistics | The Robertson Centre for Biostatistics is a specialised biostatistical research centre in Glasgow, Scotland. It is part of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences and the Institute of Health and Wellbeing at the University of Glasgow. All scales of research are carried out at the centre from multi-site cl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itakura%E2%80%93Saito%20distance | The Itakura–Saito distance (or Itakura–Saito divergence) is a measure of the difference between an original spectrum and an approximation of that spectrum. Although it is not a perceptual measure, it is intended to reflect perceptual (dis)similarity. It was proposed by Fumitada Itakura and Shuzo Saito in the 1960s wh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMAGE%20cDNA%20clones | IMAGE cDNA clones are a collection of DNA vectors containing cDNAs from various organisms including human, mouse, rat, non-human primates, zebrafish, pufferfish, Xenopus (frogs), and cow. Together they represent a more or less complete set of expressed genes from these organisms. IMAGE stands for integrated molecular ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplotype%20convergence | Haplotype convergence is the unrelated appearance of identical haplotypes in separate populations, through either convergent evolution or random chance.
Description
Haplotype convergence is rare, due to the sheer odds involved of two unrelated individuals independently evolving exactly the same genetic sequence in th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental%20impacts%20of%20animal%20agriculture | The environmental impacts of animal agriculture vary because of the wide variety of agricultural practices employed around the world. Despite this, all agricultural practices have been found to have a variety of effects on the environment to some extent. Animal agriculture, in particular meat production, can cause poll... |
