  2. Negative resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance

    Negative conductance (current controlled) oscillator: CCNR ("S" type) devices, in contrast, require a high impedance bias and are stable for load impedances greater than r. [103] The ideal oscillator circuit is like that at bottom right, with a current source bias I bias (which may consist of a voltage source in series with a large resistor ...

  3. Truncation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncation

    However, for negative numbers truncation does not round in the same direction as the floor function: truncation always rounds toward zero, the function rounds towards negative infinity. For a given number x ∈ R − {\displaystyle x\in \mathbb {R} _{-}} , the function ceil {\displaystyle \operatorname {ceil} } is used instead

  4. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  5. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    Complementarily, the false negative rate (FNR) is the proportion of positives which yield negative test outcomes with the test, i.e., the conditional probability of a negative test result given that the condition being looked for is present. In statistical hypothesis testing, this fraction is given the letter β.

  6. Exponentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation

    Powers of a number with absolute value less than one tend to zero: b n → 0 as n → ∞ when | b | < 1. Any power of one is always one: b n = 1 for all n for b = 1. Powers of a negative number alternate between positive and negative as n alternates between even and odd, and thus do not tend to any limit as n grows.

  7. Inverse element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_element

    In mathematics, the concept of an inverse element generalises the concepts of opposite (−x) and reciprocal (1/x) of numbers.. Given an operation denoted here ∗, and an identity element denoted e, if x ∗ y = e, one says that x is a left inverse of y, and that y is a right inverse of x.

  8. Subtraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtraction

    In the ten's place, 0 is less than 1, so the 0 is increased by 10, and the difference with 1, which is 9, is written down in the ten's place. The American method corrects for the increase of ten by reducing the digit in the minuend's hundreds place by one.

  9. pH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PH

    The pH range is commonly given as zero to 14, but a pH value can be less than 0 for very concentrated strong acids or greater than 14 for very concentrated strong bases. [ 2 ] The pH scale is traceable to a set of standard solutions whose pH is established by international agreement. [ 3 ]
