  2. Earliest deadline first scheduling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earliest_deadline_first...

    Earliest deadline first (EDF) or least time to go is a dynamic priority scheduling algorithm used in real-time operating systems to place processes in a priority queue. Whenever a scheduling event occurs (task finishes, new task released, etc.) the queue will be searched for the process closest to its deadline.

  3. Branching fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branching_fraction

    Suppose we drive a transition in an atomic system to an excited state |e , which can decay into either the ground state |g or a long-lived state |d . If the probability to decay (the branching fraction) into the |g state is ⁠ p {\displaystyle p} ⁠ , then the probability to decay into the other state |d would be ⁠ 1 − p {\displaystyle 1 ...

  4. Fractional-order system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional-order_system

    By applying a Laplace transform to the LTI system above, the transfer function becomes = () = = =For general orders and this is a non-rational transfer function. Non-rational transfer functions cannot be written as an expansion in a finite number of terms (e.g., a binomial expansion would have an infinite number of terms) and in this sense fractional orders systems can be said to have the ...

  5. Order of operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

    The order of operations, that is, the order in which the operations in an expression are usually performed, results from a convention adopted throughout mathematics, science, technology and many computer programming languages.

  6. Priority inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_inversion

    Priority inversion can also reduce the perceived performance of the system. Low-priority tasks usually have a low priority because it is not important for them to finish promptly (for example, they might be a batch job or another non-interactive activity). Similarly, a high-priority task has a high priority because it is more likely to be ...

  7. Volume fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_fraction

    Volume percent is the concentration of a certain solute, measured by volume, in a solution.It has as a denominator the volume of the mixture itself, as usual for expressions of concentration, [2] rather than the total of all the individual components’ volumes prior to mixing:

  8. Fraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction_(chemistry)

    A fraction in chemistry is a quantity collected from a batch of a substance in a fractionating separation process. In such a process, a mixture is separated into fractions, which have compositions that vary according to a gradient. A fraction can be defined as a group of chemicals that have similar boiling points.

  9. Fission product yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_product_yield

    Yield refers to the fraction of a fission product produced per fission. Yield can be broken down by: Individual isotope; Chemical element spanning several isotopes of different mass number but same atomic number. Nuclei of a given mass number regardless of atomic number. Known as "chain yield" because it represents a decay chain of beta decay.
