  2. Exogenous and endogenous variables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogenous_and_endogenous...

    In an economic model, an exogenous variable is one whose measure is determined outside the model and is imposed on the model, and an exogenous change is a change in an exogenous variable. [1]: p. 8 [2]: p. 202 [3]: p. 8 In contrast, an endogenous variable is a variable whose measure is determined by the model. An endogenous change is a change ...

  3. Exogeny - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exogeny

    An exogenous contrast agent, in medical imaging for example, is a liquid injected into the patient intravenously that enhances visibility of a pathology, such as a tumor.An exogenous factor is any material that is present and active in an individual organism or living cell but that originated outside that organism, as opposed to an endogenous factor.

  4. External variable - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_variable

    An external variable can be accessed by all the functions in all the modules of a program. It is a global variable.For a function to be able to use the variable, a declaration or the definition of the external variable must lie before the function definition in the source code.

  5. Homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostasis

    All homeostatic control mechanisms have at least three interdependent components for the variable being regulated: a receptor, a control center, and an effector. [3] The receptor is the sensing component that monitors and responds to changes in the environment, either external or internal.

  6. Endogeny (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogeny_(biology)

    Endogeny, in biology, refers to the property of originating or developing from within an organism, tissue, or cell. [1]For example, endogenous substances, and endogenous processes are those that originate within a living system (e.g. an organism or a cell).

    A research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods. [ 1 ] Paired t-test , Wilcoxon signed-rank test

  8. Alternative stable state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_stable_state

    This is known as the ecosystem perspective. This perspective requires a change in environmental parameters that affect the behavior of state variables. For example, birth rate, death rate, migration, and density-dependent predation indirectly alter the ecosystem state by changing population density (a state variable). Ecosystem parameters are ...

  9. Biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology

    Biology is the scientific study of life. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is a natural science with a broad scope but has several unifying themes that tie it together as a single, coherent field. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] For instance, all organisms are composed of at least one cell that processes hereditary information encoded in genes , which can be transmitted ...
