  2. Rename (relational algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rename_(relational_algebra)

    In relational algebra, a rename is a unary operation written as / where: . R is a relation; a and b are attribute names; b is an attribute of R; The result is identical to R except that the b attribute in all tuples is renamed to a. [1]

  3. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    The Gudermannian function gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic functions that does not involve complex numbers. The graph of the function a cosh( x / a ) is the catenary , the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain, hanging freely between two fixed points under uniform gravity.

  4. Multiplication theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_theorem

    The finite form typically occurs only for the gamma and related functions, for which the identity follows from a p-adic relation over a finite field. For example, the multiplication theorem for the gamma function follows from the Chowla–Selberg formula, which follows from the theory of complex multiplication.

    Drawing up a comprehensive list of words in English is important as a reference when learning a language as it will show the equivalent words you need to learn in the other language to achieve fluency.

  7. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    The chance of it happening is a function of the degree of sharing of repetitive elements between two chromosomes. The products of this recombination are a duplication at the site of the exchange and a reciprocal deletion. Ectopic recombination is typically mediated by sequence similarity at the duplicate breakpoints, which form direct repeats.

  8. List of IBM products - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IBM_products

    Products, services, and subsidiaries have been offered from International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation and its predecessor corporations since the 1890s. [1] This list comprises those offerings and is eclectic; it includes, for example, the AN/FSQ-7, which was not a product in the sense of offered for sale, but was a product in the sense of manufactured—produced by the labor of IBM.

  9. Evolution by gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_by_gene_duplication

    However, if one of the genes was removed, the remaining gene would not be able to provide the full set of functions and the host cell would likely suffer some detrimental consequences. Therefore, at this later stage of the process, there is a strong selection pressure against removing any of the two gene copies that arose by gene duplication.
