https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompressible%20string | An incompressible string is a string with Kolmogorov complexity equal to its length, so that it has no shorter encodings.
Example
Suppose we have the string 12349999123499991234, and we are using a compression method that works by putting a special character into the string (say @) followed by a value that points to ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myograph | A myograph is any device used to measure the force produced by a muscle when under contraction. Such a device is commonly used in myography, the study of the velocity and intensity of muscular contraction.
A myograph can take several forms: for tubular structures such as blood vessels these include the pressure myogra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect%20lattice | In mathematics, a perfect lattice (or perfect form) is a lattice in a Euclidean vector space, that is completely determined by the set S of its minimal vectors in the sense that there is only one positive definite quadratic form taking value 1 at all points of S. Perfect lattices were introduced by . A strongly perfect... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral%20occipital%20sulcus | In the occipital lobe, the lateral occipital sulcus, where present, divides the lateral, or middle occipital gyrus into a superior and an inferior part, which are then continuous in front with the parietal and temporal lobes. The anterior portion is often incomplete, but in some individuals it may encounter the superio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastoparan | Mastoparan is a peptide toxin from wasp venom. It has the chemical structure Ile-Asn-Leu-Lys-Ala-Leu-Ala-Ala-Leu-Ala-Lys-Lys-Ile-Leu-NH2.
The net effect of mastoparan's mode of action depends on cell type, but seemingly always involves exocytosis. In mast cells, this takes the form of histamine secretion, while in pla... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-entropy%20method | The cross-entropy (CE) method is a Monte Carlo method for importance sampling and optimization. It is applicable to both combinatorial and continuous problems, with either a static or noisy objective.
The method approximates the optimal importance sampling estimator by repeating two phases:
Draw a sample from a proba... |
