    The cutoff rule (CR): Do not accept any of the first y applicants; thereafter, select the first encountered candidate (i.e., an applicant with relative rank 1). This rule has as a special case the optimal policy for the classical secretary problem for which y = r. Candidate count rule (CCR): Select the y-th encountered candidate. Note, that ...

    where c 1 = ⁠ 1 / a 1 ⁠, c 2 = ⁠ a 1 / a 2 ⁠, c 3 = ⁠ a 2 / a 1 a 3 ⁠, and in general c n+1 = ⁠ 1 / a n+1 c n ⁠. Second, if none of the partial denominators b i are zero we can use a similar procedure to choose another sequence { d i } to make each partial denominator a 1:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/37_(number)

    37 is a prime number, [1] a sexy prime, and a Padovan prime 37 is the first irregular prime with irregularity index of 1. [2] 37 is the smallest non-supersingular prime in moonshine theory. 37 is also an emirp because it remains prime when its digits are reversed.

  5. Westgard rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westgard_Rules

    They are a set of modified Western Electric rules, developed by James Westgard and provided in his books and seminars on quality control. [1] They are plotted on Levey–Jennings charts, wherein the X-axis shows each individual sample, and the Y-axis shows how much each one differs from the mean in terms of standard deviation (SD). The rules ...

  6. Material implication (rule of inference) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material_implication_(rule...

    In propositional logic, material implication [1] [2] is a valid rule of replacement that allows a conditional statement to be replaced by a disjunction in which the antecedent is negated. The rule states that P implies Q is logically equivalent to not- P {\displaystyle P} or Q {\displaystyle Q} and that either form can replace the other in ...

    Simpson's rules are a set of rules used in ship stability and naval architecture, to calculate the areas and volumes of irregular figures. [1] This is an application of Simpson's rule for finding the values of an integral, here interpreted as the area under a curve. Simpson's First Rule

    But in other cases, he got their formulas right. The following examples come from Dalton's own books A New System of Chemical Philosophy (in two volumes, 1808 and 1817): Example 1 — tin oxides: Dalton identified two types of tin oxide. One is a grey powder that Dalton referred to as "the protoxide of tin", which is 88.1% tin and 11.9% oxygen ...

    One of these electrons must have, (for some chosen direction z) m s = 12, and the other must have m s = − 12. Hund's first rule states that the lowest energy atomic state is the one that maximizes the total spin quantum number for the electrons in the open subshell. The orbitals of the subshell are each occupied singly with ...
