  2. Projection fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection_fiber

    Projection fibers consist of efferent and afferent fibers uniting the cortex with the lower parts of the brain and with the spinal cord. In human neuroanatomy, bundles of axons (nerve fibers) called nerve tracts , within the brain, can be categorized by their function into association tracts , projection tracts , and commissural tracts .

    Again, adjacent areas on the skin are represented by adjacent neurons in all aforementioned structures. This projection pattern has been termed somatotopy. One common diagram of the somatotopic map is the cortical homunculus. This illustration is a fairly accurate representation of how much cortical area represents each body part or region.

    Ultimate causation explains traits in terms of evolutionary forces acting on them.; Example: female animals often display preferences among male display traits, such as song.

  5. Projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projection

    Projection (set theory), one of two closely related types of functions or operations in set theory; Projection (measure theory), use of a projection map in measure theory; 3D projection, any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane; Vector projection, orthogonal projection of a vector onto a straight line

  6. Axonometric projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonometric_projection

    Classification of Axonometric projection and some 3D projections "Axonometry" means "to measure along the axes". In German literature, axonometry is based on Pohlke's theorem, such that the scope of axonometric projection could encompass every type of parallel projection, including not only orthographic projection (and multiview projection), but also oblique projection.

  7. Helical wheel - Wikipedia

    The plot reveals whether hydrophobic amino acids are concentrated on one side of the helix, usually with polar or hydrophilic amino acids on the other. This arrangement is common in alpha helices within globular proteins, where one face of the helix is oriented toward the hydrophobic core and one face is oriented toward the solvent-exposed surface.

  8. Axonometry - Wikipedia

    But, as the engineer projection and the standard isometry are scaled orthographic projections, the contour of a sphere is a circle in these cases, as well. As the diagram shows, an ellipse as the contour of a sphere might be confusing, so, if a sphere is part of an object to be mapped, one should choose an orthogonal axonometry or an engineer ...

  9. Gene prediction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_prediction

    Ab Initio gene prediction is an intrinsic method based on gene content and signal detection. Because of the inherent expense and difficulty in obtaining extrinsic evidence for many genes, it is also necessary to resort to ab initio gene finding, in which the genomic DNA sequence alone is systematically searched for certain tell-tale signs of protein-coding genes.
