Periodically, it joins with CADE and TPHOLs into the International Joint Conference on Autom... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratum%20lucidum%20of%20hippocampus | The stratum lucidum of the hippocampus is a layer of the hippocampus between the stratum pyramidale and the stratum radiatum. It is the tract of the mossy fiber projections, both inhibitory and excitatory from the granule cells of the dentate gyrus. One mossy fiber may make up to 37 connections to a single pyramidal ce... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual%20control%20theory | Dual control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with the control of systems whose characteristics are initially unknown. It is called dual because in controlling such a system the controller's objectives are twofold:
(1) Action: To control the system as well as possible based on current system knowledge... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabin%20%28unit%29 | In acoustics, the sabin (or more precisely the square foot sabin) is a unit of sound absorption, used for expressing the total effective absorption for the interior of a room. Sound absorption can be expressed in terms of the percentage of energy absorbed compared with the percentage reflected. It can also be expressed... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigen%20presentation | Antigen presentation is a vital immune process that is essential for T cell immune response triggering. Because T cells recognize only fragmented antigens displayed on cell surfaces, antigen processing must occur before the antigen fragment can be recognized by a T-cell receptor. Specifically, the fragment, bound to th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learnable%20evolution%20model | The learnable evolution model (LEM) is a non-Darwinian methodology for evolutionary computation that employs machine learning to guide the generation of new individuals (candidate problem solutions). Unlike standard, Darwinian-type evolutionary computation methods that use random or semi-random operators for generating... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specol | Specol (trade name Stimune) is a water in oil adjuvant composed of defined and purified light mineral oil (Stills. 2005). It has been suggested as an alternative to Freund's adjuvant for hyperactivation of the immune response in rabbits (Leenaars et al. 1994). Specol can be used for antigens of low immunogenicity and c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titermax | Titermax is a mixture of compounds used in antibody generation and vaccination to stimulate the immune system to recognise an antigen given together with the mixture. Titermax is a developed immune adjuvant.
It is a water-in-oil emulsion and consists of squalene, an emulsifier (sorbitan monooleate 80), a patented bloc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duodenal%20cytochrome%20B | Duodenal cytochrome B (Dcytb) also known as cytochrome b reductase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the gene.
Dcytb CYBRD1 was first identified as a ferric reductase enzyme which catalyzes the reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ required for dietary iron absorption in the duodenum of mammals. Dcytb mRNA and protein... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress%20space | In continuum mechanics, Haigh–Westergaard stress space, or simply stress space is a 3-dimensional space in which the three spatial axes represent the three principal stresses of a body subject to stress. This space is named after Bernard Haigh and Harold M. Westergaard.
In mathematical terms, H-W space can also be int... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker%E2%80%93Sochacki%20method | In mathematics, the Parker–Sochacki method is an algorithm for solving systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), developed by G. Edgar Parker and James Sochacki, of the James Madison University Mathematics Department. The method produces Maclaurin series solutions to systems of differential equations, with the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tightness%20of%20measures | In mathematics, tightness is a concept in measure theory. The intuitive idea is that a given collection of measures does not "escape to infinity".
Definitions
Let be a Hausdorff space, and let be a σ-algebra on that contains the topology . (Thus, every open subset of is a measurable set and is at least as fine a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokhorov%27s%20theorem | In measure theory Prokhorov's theorem relates tightness of measures to relative compactness (and hence weak convergence) in the space of probability measures. It is credited to the Soviet mathematician Yuri Vasilyevich Prokhorov, who considered probability measures on complete separable metric spaces. The term "Prokhor... |
