  2. Zone of polarizing activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_polarizing_activity

    The first hypothesis came from Tickle et al. who showed that when retinoic acid is placed in the anterior margin of the limb bud, mirror image duplications result. [6] However, concentrations of retinoic acid that cause mirror image duplications induce high levels of a downstream gene, retinoic acid receptor Beta, which is not seen in the ...

  3. Method of images - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_images

    The method of images (or method of mirror images) is a mathematical tool for solving differential equations, in which boundary conditions are satisfied by combining a solution not restricted by the boundary conditions with its possibly weighted mirror image. Generally, original singularities are inside the domain of interest but the function is ...

  4. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    Entoptic images have a physical basis in the image cast upon the retina. Hence, they are different from optical illusions, which are caused by the visual system and characterized by a visual percept that (loosely said) appears to differ from reality. Because entoptic images are caused by phenomena within the observer's own eye, they share one ...

  5. Adoptive cell transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoptive_cell_transfer

    Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) is the transfer of cells into a patient. [1] The cells may have originated from the patient or from another individual. The cells are most commonly derived from the immune system with the goal of improving immune functionality and characteristics.

  6. Frozen mirror image method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_mirror_image_method

    Fig. 1. Illustration of the frozen mirror image method for a simplest case of the magnetic dipole over the flat superconducting surface. Frozen mirror image method (or method of frozen images) is an extension of the method of images for magnet-superconductor systems that has been introduced by Alexander Kordyuk in 1998 to take into account the magnetic flux pinning phenomenon. [1]

  7. Transfer-matrix method (optics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer-matrix_method...

    The transfer-matrix method is a method used in optics and acoustics to analyze the propagation of electromagnetic or acoustic waves through a stratified medium; a stack of thin films. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is, for example, relevant for the design of anti-reflective coatings and dielectric mirrors .

  8. MRI pulse sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRI_pulse_sequence

    This image weighting is useful for assessing the cerebral cortex, identifying fatty tissue, characterizing focal liver lesions, and in general, obtaining morphological information, as well as for post-contrast imaging. To create a T2-weighted image, magnetization is allowed to decay before measuring the MR signal by changing the echo time (TE).

  9. Corona radiata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_radiata

    Evidence from subcortical small infarcts suggests that motor fibers are somatotopically arranged in the human corona radiata. Following subtotal brain damage, localization of the corticofugal projection in the corona radiata and internal capsule can assist in evaluating a patient's residual motor capacity and predicting their potential for functional restitution.
