  2. Scoliosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoliosis

    The curve is usually S- or C-shaped over three dimensions. [2] [7] In some, the degree of curve is stable, while in others, it increases over time. [3] Mild scoliosis does not typically cause problems, but more severe cases can affect breathing and movement. [3] [8] Pain is usually present in adults, and can worsen with age. [9]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_data_visualization

    Prostista taxonomy vs. phylogeny - This diagram shows the phylogeny of eukaryotes based on some recent analyses superimposed over the current kingdom and subkingdom-level taxonomy of protists. The purpose of the image is to demonstrate the paraphyly of most protist groupings, particularly those belonging to kingdom Protozoa: subkingdom Eozoa.

    Ask to cover one eye with hand or occluder and look directly at the center black dot. While looking directly at the center dot, and observe the grid whether patient can see all corners and sides of grid. If any lines or areas look blurry, wavy, dark or blank mark that area in chart and consult ophthalmologist. Follow the same steps with the ...

  7. Receiver operating characteristic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receiver_operating...

    A classification model (classifier or diagnosis [7]) is a mapping of instances between certain classes/groups.Because the classifier or diagnosis result can be an arbitrary real value (continuous output), the classifier boundary between classes must be determined by a threshold value (for instance, to determine whether a person has hypertension based on a blood pressure measure).

  8. Allometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allometry

    If comparing force to a length, then the expected slope is 2. Alternatively, this analysis may be accomplished with a power regression. Plot the relationship between the data onto a graph. Fit this to a power curve (depending on the stats program, this can be done multiple ways), and it will give an equation with the form: y=Zx n, where n is ...

  9. Differentiable manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differentiable_manifold

    A nondifferentiable atlas of charts for the globe. The results of calculus may not be compatible between charts if the atlas is not differentiable. In the center and right charts, the Tropic of Cancer is a smooth curve, whereas in the left chart it has a sharp corner. The notion of a differentiable manifold refines that of a manifold by ...
