  2. Lissajous curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lissajous_curve

    In this particular example, because the output is 90 degrees out of phase from the input, the Lissajous curve is a circle, and is rotating counterclockwise. When the input to an LTI system is sinusoidal, the output is sinusoidal with the same frequency, but it may have a different amplitude and some phase shift .

  3. Relatively hyperbolic group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relatively_hyperbolic_group

    This results in a metric space that may not be proper (i.e. closed balls need not be compact). The definition of a relatively hyperbolic group, as formulated by Bowditch goes as follows. A group G is said to be hyperbolic relative to a subgroup H if the coned off Cayley graph Γ ^ ( G , H ) {\displaystyle {\hat {\Gamma }}(G,H)} has the properties:

  4. Bowditch effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowditch_effect

    The underlying cause of the Bowditch effect is an increase in the calcium concentration in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiac muscle cells, and its increased release into sarcoplasm. [ 3 ] One of the explanations for an increase in the intracellular calcium concentration is the inability of the Na + /K + -ATPase to keep up with influx of ...

  5. Brian Bowditch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Bowditch

    Brian Hayward Bowditch (born 1961 [1]) is a British mathematician known for his contributions to geometry and topology, particularly in the areas of geometric group theory and low-dimensional topology. He is also known for solving [2] the angel problem. Bowditch holds a chaired Professor appointment in Mathematics at the University of Warwick.

  6. Geometric group theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_group_theory

    Geometric group theory grew out of combinatorial group theory that largely studied properties of discrete groups via analyzing group presentations, which describe groups as quotients of free groups; this field was first systematically studied by Walther von Dyck, student of Felix Klein, in the early 1880s, [2] while an early form is found in the 1856 icosian calculus of William Rowan Hamilton ...

  7. Positive and negative predictive values - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_and_negative...

    The positive predictive value (PPV), or precision, is defined as = + = where a "true positive" is the event that the test makes a positive prediction, and the subject has a positive result under the gold standard, and a "false positive" is the event that the test makes a positive prediction, and the subject has a negative result under the gold standard.

    Add it up, and it's the worst two-game stretch in Los Angeles Lakers history. The Lakers lost to the Heat 134-93 on Wednesday, that loss coming two days after a 109-80 loss to the Timberwolves.

  9. Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing - Wikipedia

    Pre-test probability: For example, if about 2 out of every 5 patients with abdominal distension have ascites, then the pretest probability is 40%. Likelihood Ratio: An example "test" is that the physical exam finding of bulging flanks has a positive likelihood ratio of 2.0 for ascites.
