Menadione is converted to vitamin K2 (specifically, MK-4) by the prenyltransferase action of vertebrate UBIAD1. This reaction requires the hydroquinone (reduced) form of K3, menadiol, produced by NQO1.Menadione is also a circulating form of vitamin K, produced in small amounts (1–5%) after intestinal absorption of K1 a...

Menger and Birkhoff gave axioms for projective geometry in terms of the lattice of linear subspaces of projective space. Von Neumann's axioms for continuous geometry are a weakened form of these axioms. A continuous geometry is a lattice L with the following properties L is modular.

L is complete. The lattice operations ∧, ∨ satisfy a certain continuity property, ( ⋀ α ∈ A a α ) ∨ b = ⋀ α ( a α ∨ b ) {\displaystyle \left(\bigwedge _{\alpha \in A}a_{\alpha }\right)\lor b=\bigwedge _{\alpha }(a_{\alpha }\lor b)} , where A is a directed set and if α < β then aα < aβ, and the same condition with ∧ and...
