Medical algorithm
Examples of medical algorithms are: Calculators, e.g. an on-line or stand-alone calculator for body mass index (BMI) when stature and body weight are given; Flowcharts and drakon-charts, e.g. a binary decision tree for deciding what is the etiology of chest pain Look-up tables, e.g. for looking up food energy and nu...

Superconducting quantum computing
In the table below, the three archetypes are reviewed. In the first row, the qubit electrical circuit diagram is presented. In the second, the quantum Hamiltonian derived from the circuit is shown. Generally, the Hamiltonian can be divided to a "kinetic" and "potential" parts, in analogy to a particle in a potential we...

Heyting algebra
Heyting algebra of propositional formulas in n variables up to intuitionist equivalence The metaimplication in the section "Provable identities" is proved by showing that the result of the following construction is itself a Heyting algebra: Consider the set L of propositional formulas in the variables A1, A2,..., An. ...

Concurrent engineering
Challenges associated with concurrent design Concurrent design comes with a series of challenges, such as implementation of early design reviews, dependency on efficient communication between engineers and teams, software compatibility, and opening up the design process. This design process usually requires that comput...

Function pointer
The following C program illustrates the use of two function pointers: func1 takes one double-precision (double) parameter and returns another double, and is assigned to a function which converts centimetres to inches. func2 takes a pointer to a constant character array as well as an integer and returns a pointer to a...

Mathematics of Sudoku
In a 2005 study, Felgenhauer and Jarvis analyzed the permutations of the top band used in valid solutions. Once the Band1 symmetries and equivalence classes for the partial grid solutions were identified, the completions of the lower two bands were constructed and counted for each equivalence class. Summing completions...

Algebraic geometry
Algebraic stacks can be further generalized and for many practical questions like deformation theory and intersection theory, this is often the most natural approach. One can extend the Grothendieck site of affine schemes to a higher categorical site of derived affine schemes, by replacing the commutative rings with an...
