  2. Blood smear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_smear

    The biggest pitfall in most laboratories in developed countries is leaving too great a delay between taking the blood sample and making the blood smears. As blood cools to room temperature, male gametocytes will divide and release microgametes : these are long sinuous filamentous structures that can be mistaken for organisms such as Borrelia .

  3. Zeeman effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeeman_effect

    Since the distance between the Zeeman sub-levels is a function of magnetic field strength, this effect can be used to measure magnetic field strength, e.g. that of the Sun and other stars or in laboratory plasmas.

  4. Biological exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_exponential_growth

    Biological exponential growth is the unrestricted growth of a population of organisms, occurring when resources in its habitat are unlimited. [1] Most commonly apparent in species that reproduce quickly and asexually , like bacteria , exponential growth is intuitive from the fact that each organism can divide and produce two copies of itself.

  5. Bacterial motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_motility

    For example the apicomplexans are able to travel at fast rates between 1–10 μm/s. In contrast Myxococcus xanthus , a slime bacterium, can glide at a rate of 5 μm/min. [ 86 ] [ 87 ] In myxobacteria individual bacteria move together to form waves of cells that then differentiate to form fruiting bodies containing spores. [ 88 ]

  6. Evolutionary game theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_game_theory

    Example 1: The straightforward single round prisoner's dilemma game. The classic prisoner's dilemma game payoffs gives a player a maximum payoff if they defect and their partner co-operates (this choice is known as temptation). If, however, the player co-operates and their partner defects, they get the worst possible result (the suckers payoff).

  7. Abstract (summary) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_(summary)

    An abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis, review, conference proceeding, or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject and is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the paper's purpose. [1]

  8. Fick's laws of diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fick's_laws_of_diffusion

    Fick's first law relates the diffusive flux to the gradient of the concentration. It postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative), or in simplistic terms the concept that a solute will move from a region of high concentration to a region of low ...
