It is very simple to use but yields only the number of people bearing the property of interest and leads to a larger sampl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobaria%20scrobiculata | Lobaria scrobiculata, commonly known as the textured lungwort, is a large foliose, epiphytic lichen in the family Peltigeraceae.
Description
The thallus of L. scrobiculata has broad, concave and rounded lobes, rather wider than in Lobaria pulmonaria. The upper surface has large shallow depressions (scrobiculate, henc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution%20of%20brown%20bears | Brown bears (Ursus arctos) were once native to Europe, much of Asia, the Atlas Mountains of Africa, and North America, but are now extirpated in some areas, and their populations have greatly decreased in other areas. There are approximately 200,000 brown bears left in the world. The largest population is in Russia, wi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial%20pharmacodynamics | Antimicrobial pharmacodynamics is the relationship between the concentration of an antibiotic and its ability to inhibit vital processes of endo- or ectoparasites and microbial organisms. This branch of pharmacodynamics relates the concentration of an anti-infective agent to its effect, specifically to its antimicrobia... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic%20topic%20model | Within statistics, Dynamic topic models''' are generative models that can be used to analyze the evolution of (unobserved) topics of a collection of documents over time. This family of models was proposed by David Blei and John Lafferty and is an extension to Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) that can handle sequential... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear-Vision | Clear-Vision is a Japanese EDTV (Extended Definition TV) television system introduced in the 1990s, that improves audio and video quality while remaining compatible with the existing broadcast standard. Developed to improve analog NTSC, it adds features like progressive scan, ghost cancellation and widescreen image for... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ouzo%20effect | The ouzo effect ( ), also known as the louche effect ( ) and spontaneous emulsification, is the phenomenon of formation of a milky oil-in-water emulsion when water is added to ouzo and other anise-flavored liqueurs and spirits, such as pastis, rakı, arak, sambuca and absinthe. Such emulsions occur with only minimal mix... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hille%E2%80%93Yosida%20theorem | In functional analysis, the Hille–Yosida theorem characterizes the generators of strongly continuous one-parameter semigroups of linear operators on Banach spaces. It is sometimes stated for the special case of contraction semigroups, with the general case being called the Feller–Miyadera–Phillips theorem (after Willia... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry%20Kazdan | Jerry Lawrence Kazdan (born 31 October 1937 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American mathematician noted for his work in differential geometry and the study of partial differential equations. His contributions include the Berger–Kazdan comparison theorem, which was a key step in the proof of the Blaschke conjecture and the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framsticks | Framsticks is a 3D freeware Artificial Life simulator. Organisms consisting of physical structures ("bodies") and control structures ("brains") evolve over time against a user's predefined fitness landscape (for instance, evolving for speed), or spontaneously coevolve in a complex environment. Evolution of organisms o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net%20capital%20outflow | Net capital outflow (NCO) is the net flow of funds being invested abroad by a country during a certain period of time (usually a year). A positive NCO means that the country invests outside more than the world invests in it. NCO is one of two major ways of characterizing the nature of a country's financial and economic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population%20balance%20equation | Population balance equations (PBEs) have been introduced in several branches of modern science, mainly in Chemical Engineering, to describe the evolution of a population of particles. This includes topics like crystallization, leaching (metallurgy), liquid–liquid extraction, gas-liquid dispersions like water electrolys... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam%20%28structure%29 | A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis (an element designed to carry primarily axial load would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam's support points. The total... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA%20effect | The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias in which consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created. The name refers to Swedish manufacturer and furniture retailer IKEA, which sells many items of furniture that require assembly.
A 2011 study found that subjects were willing to pay 63% more ... |
