Also known as IUPAC notation, it was adopted by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry in 1991 as a simplification of the older Siegbahn notation. In X-ray notation, every principal quantum number is given a letter as... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blossom%20%28functional%29 | In numerical analysis, a blossom is a functional that can be applied to any polynomial, but is mostly used for Bézier and spline curves and surfaces.
The blossom of a polynomial ƒ, often denoted is completely characterised by the three properties:
It is a symmetric function of its arguments:
(where π is any perm... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIF2 | Eukaryotic Initiation Factor 2 (eIF2) is an eukaryotic initiation factor. It is required for most forms of eukaryotic translation initiation. eIF2 mediates the binding of tRNAiMet to the ribosome in a GTP-dependent manner. eIF2 is a heterotrimer consisting of an alpha (also called subunit 1, EIF2S1), a beta (subunit 2,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic1 | Sic1, a protein, is a stoichiometric inhibitor of Cdk1-Clb (B-type cyclins) complexes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Because B-type cyclin-Cdk1 complexes are the drivers of S-phase initiation, Sic1 prevents premature S-phase entry. Multisite phosphorylation of Sic1 is thought to time Sic1 ubiquitinatio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdc6 | Cdc6, or cell division cycle 6, is a protein in eukaryotic cells. It is mainly studied in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae (). It is an essential regulator of DNA replication and plays important roles in the activation and maintenance of the checkpoint mechanisms in the cell cycle that coordinate S phase and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursell%20function | In statistical mechanics, an Ursell function or connected correlation function, is a cumulant of a random variable. It can often be obtained by summing over connected Feynman diagrams (the sum over all Feynman diagrams gives the correlation functions).
The Ursell function was named after Harold Ursell, who introduced ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee%E2%80%93Yang%20theorem | In statistical mechanics, the Lee–Yang theorem states that if partition functions of certain models in statistical field theory with ferromagnetic interactions are considered as functions of an external field, then all zeros
are purely imaginary (or on the unit circle after a change of variable). The first version w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thioglycolate%20broth | Thioglycolate broth is a multipurpose, enrichment, differential medium used primarily to determine the oxygen requirements of microorganisms. Sodium thioglycolate in the medium consumes oxygen and permits the growth of obligate anaerobes. This, combined with the diffusion of oxygen from the top of the broth, produces a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convection%E2%80%93diffusion%20equation | The convection–diffusion equation is a combination of the diffusion and convection (advection) equations, and describes physical phenomena where particles, energy, or other physical quantities are transferred inside a physical system due to two processes: diffusion and convection. Depending on context, the same equatio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous%20method%20invocation | In multithreaded computer programming, asynchronous method invocation (AMI), also known as asynchronous method calls or the asynchronous pattern is a design pattern in which the call site is not blocked while waiting for the called code to finish. Instead, the calling thread is notified when the reply arrives. Polling ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20Osserman | Robert "Bob" Osserman (December 19, 1926 – November 30, 2011) was an American mathematician who worked in geometry. He is specially remembered for his work on the theory of minimal surfaces.
Raised in Bronx, he went to Bronx High School of Science (diploma, 1942) and New York University. He earned a Ph.D. in 1955 from... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe%20Armstrong%20%28programmer%29 | Joseph Leslie Armstrong (27 December 1950 – 20 April 2019) was a computer scientist working in the area of fault-tolerant distributed systems. He is best known as one of the co-designers of the Erlang programming language.
Early life and education
Armstrong was born in Bournemouth, England in 1950.
At 17, Armstrong ... |
