  2. Indirect self-reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirect_self-reference

    Upon closer inspection, it can be seen that in fact, the Scheme example above uses a quine, and f is actually the quine function itself. Indirect self-reference was studied in great depth by W. V. Quine (after whom the operation above is named), and occupies a central place in the proof of Gödel's incompleteness theorem. Among the paradoxical ...

  3. Indirection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection

    In computer programming, an indirection (also called a reference) is a way of referring to something using a name, reference, or container instead of the value itself. The most common form of indirection is the act of manipulating a value through its memory address .

  4. Access control matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_Control_Matrix

    The entry in a cell – that is, the entry for a particular subject-object pair – indicates the access mode that the subject is permitted to exercise on the object. Each column is equivalent to an access control list for the object; and each row is equivalent to an access profile for the subject. [2]

  5. Row- and column-major order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row-_and_column-major_order

    To use column-major order in a row-major environment, or vice versa, for whatever reason, one workaround is to assign non-conventional roles to the indexes (using the first index for the column and the second index for the row), and another is to bypass language syntax by explicitly computing positions in a one-dimensional array.

  6. Array (data structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_structure)

    "Column major order" is analogous with respect to the first index. In systems which use processor cache or virtual memory, scanning an array is much faster if successive elements are stored in consecutive positions in memory, rather than sparsely scattered. This is known as spatial locality, which is a type of locality of reference. Many ...

  7. Proof by contradiction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_contradiction

    More broadly, proof by contradiction is any form of argument that establishes a statement by arriving at a contradiction, even when the initial assumption is not the negation of the statement to be proved. In this general sense, proof by contradiction is also known as indirect proof, proof by assuming the opposite, [2] and reductio ad ...

  8. Excitotoxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excitotoxicity

    Excess glutamate allows high levels of calcium ions (Ca 2+) to enter the cell. Ca 2+ influx into cells activates a number of enzymes, including phospholipases, endonucleases, and proteases such as calpain. These enzymes go on to damage cell structures such as components of the cytoskeleton, membrane, and DNA.

  9. Direct and indirect band gaps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_and_indirect_band_gaps

    In an "indirect" gap, a photon cannot be emitted because the electron must pass through an intermediate state and transfer momentum to the crystal lattice. Examples of direct bandgap materials include hydrogenated amorphous silicon and some III–V materials such as InAs and GaAs. Indirect bandgap materials include crystalline silicon and Ge.
