https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadband | A deadband or dead-band (also known as a dead zone or a neutral zone) is a band of input values in the domain of a transfer function in a control system or signal processing system where the output is zero (the output is 'dead' - no action occurs). Deadband regions can be used in control systems such as servoamplifier... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheotaxis | (Positive) Rheotaxis is a form of taxis seen in many aquatic organisms, e.g., fish, whereby they will (generally) turn to face into an oncoming current. In a flowing stream, this behavior leads them to hold their position rather than being swept downstream by the current. Rheotaxis has been noted in zebrafish and other... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korte%27s%20third%20law%20of%20apparent%20motion | In psychophysics, Korte's third law of apparent motion is an observation relating the phenomenon of apparent motion to the distance and duration between two successively presented stimuli.
Formulation
Korte's four laws were first proposed in 1915 by Adolf Korte. The third law, particularly, describes how the increase... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradyspory | Bradyspory is the gradual release of seed from a cone or fruit over a long period of time, as opposed to tachyspory, the more-or-less immediate release of seed as soon as they have matured.
Bradyspory may occur because seed release is spontaneous but very gradual, or because seed release does not occur until triggered... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical%20probability | In probability theory and statistics, the empirical probability, relative frequency, or experimental probability of an event is the ratio of the number of outcomes in which a specified event occurs to the total number of trials, i.e., by means not of a theoretical sample space but of an actual experiment. More generall... |
