Single-molecule techniques impacted optics, electronics, biology, and chemistry. In the biological sciences, the study of proteins and other complex biological machinery was limited to ensemble experiments that nearly made impossible the direct observation of their kinetics. For example, it was only after single molecu...

It was a controversial open problem for many years to show that these six equations really were irreducible for generic values of the parameters (they are sometimes reducible for special parameter values; see below), but this was finally proved by Nishioka (1988) and Hiroshi Umemura (1989). These six second order nonli...

Around 1900, Paul Painlevé studied second order differential equations with no movable singularities. He found that up to certain transformations, every such equation of the form y ′ ′ = R ( y ′ , y , t ) {\displaystyle y^{\prime \prime }=R(y^{\prime },y,t)} (with R {\displaystyle R} a rational function) can be put int...

In neuroscience, predictive coding (also known as predictive processing) is a theory of brain function which postulates that the brain is constantly generating and updating a "mental model" of the environment. According to the theory, such a mental model is used to predict input signals from the senses that are then co...

The emulation framework was also shown to be hierarchical, with modality-specific emulators providing top-down expectations for sensory signals as well as higher-level emulators providing expectations of the distal causes of those signals. Grush applied the theory to visual perception, visual and motor imagery, languag...

Evaluating the empirical evidence that suggests a neurologically plausible basis for predictive coding is a broad and varied task. For one thing, and according to the model, predictive coding occurs at every iterative step in the perceptual and cognitive processes; accordingly, manifestations of predictive coding in th...

In 1908, Ehrlich received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his contributions to immunology. Hata was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 and for the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1912 and 1913.The first sulfonamide and the first systemically active antibacterial drug, Prontosil, w...

There are various approaches to cope with this difficulty (see mathematics of apportionment). The optimization-based approach aims to attain, for eacn instance, an allocation that is "as fair as possible" for this instance. An allocation is "fair" if a i = q i {\displaystyle a_{i}=q_{i}} for all agents i, that is, each...

Optimal apportionment is an approach to apportionment that is based on mathematical optimization. In a problem of apportionment, there is a resource to allocate, denoted by h {\displaystyle h} . For example, it can be an integer representing the number of seats in a house of representatives. The resource should be allo...

Forgetful functors tend to have left adjoints, which are 'free' constructions. For example: free module: the forgetful functor from M o d ( R ) {\displaystyle \mathbf {Mod} (R)} (the category of R {\displaystyle R} -modules) to S e t {\displaystyle \mathbf {Set} } has left adjoint Free R {\displaystyle \operatorname {F...

In mathematics, in the area of category theory, a forgetful functor (also known as a stripping functor) 'forgets' or drops some or all of the input's structure or properties 'before' mapping to the output. For an algebraic structure of a given signature, this may be expressed by curtailing the signature: the new signat...

As an example, there are several forgetful functors from the category of commutative rings. A (unital) ring, described in the language of universal algebra, is an ordered tuple ( R , + , × , a , 0 , 1 ) {\displaystyle (R,+,\times ,a,0,1)} satisfying certain axioms, where + {\displaystyle +} and × {\displaystyle \times ...
