  2. Prolog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog

    Prolog is a logic programming language that has its origins in artificial intelligence, automated theorem proving and computational linguistics. [1] [2] [3]Prolog has its roots in first-order logic, a formal logic, and unlike many other programming languages, Prolog is intended primarily as a declarative programming language: the program is a set of facts and rules, which define relations.

  3. Serial passage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_passage

    Serial passage is the process of growing bacteria or a virus in iterations. For instance, a virus may be grown in one environment, and then a portion of that virus population can be removed and put into a new environment.

  4. Prolog syntax and semantics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolog_syntax_and_semantics

    The AST is represented using Prolog terms and can be used to apply optimizations, to compile such expressions to machine-code, or to directly interpret such statements. As is typical for the relational nature of predicates, these definitions can be used both to parse and generate sentences, and also to check whether a given tree corresponds to ...

  5. Inference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inference

    Prolog (for "Programming in Logic") is a programming language based on a subset of predicate calculus. Its main job is to check whether a certain proposition can be inferred from a KB (knowledge base) using an algorithm called backward chaining. Let us return to our Socrates syllogism. We enter into our Knowledge Base the following piece of code:

    Used to identify a specimen organism from a set of known taxa. [5] Systematics, Taxonomy. Manhattan plot: Used to display data with a large number of data-points, many of non-zero amplitude, and with a distribution of higher-magnitude values. The plot is commonly used in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to display significant SNPs. [6 ...

    Sometimes called dependent variable(s). Response surface: A designed experiment that models the quantitative response, especially for the short-term goal of improving a process and the longer-term goal of finding optimum factor-values. Traditionally, response-surfaces have been modeled with quadratic-polynomials, whose estimation requires that ...

  8. First-order logic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order_logic

    First-order logic—also called predicate logic, predicate calculus, quantificational logic—is a collection of formal systems used in mathematics, philosophy, linguistics, and computer science. First-order logic uses quantified variables over non-logical objects, and allows the use of sentences that contain variables.

  9. Datalog - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datalog

    There are three widely-used approaches to the semantics of Datalog programs: model-theoretic, fixed-point, and proof-theoretic. These three approaches can be proven equivalent. [4] An atom is called ground if none of its subterms are variables. Intuitively, each of the semantics define the meaning of a program to be the set of all ground atoms ...
