  2. End-plate potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-plate_potential

    End plate potentials (EPPs) are the voltages which cause depolarization of skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. They are called "end plates" because the postsynaptic terminals of muscle fibers have a large, saucer-like appearance.

  3. Human visual system model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_visual_system_model

    As our knowledge of the true visual system improves, the model is updated. Psychovisual study is the study of the psychology of vision. The human visual system model can produce desired effects in perception and vision. Examples of using an HVS model include color television, lossy compression, and Cathode-ray tube (CRT) television.

  4. Skew coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skew_coordinates

    A system of skew coordinates is a curvilinear coordinate system where the coordinate surfaces are not orthogonal, [1] in contrast to orthogonal coordinates.. Skew coordinates tend to be more complicated to work with compared to orthogonal coordinates since the metric tensor will have nonzero off-diagonal components, preventing many simplifications in formulas for tensor algebra and tensor ...

  5. Quantal neurotransmitter release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantal_neurotransmitter...

    The aggregate sum of many MEPPs is an end plate potential (EPP). A normal end plate potential usually causes the postsynaptic neuron to reach its threshold of excitation and elicit an action potential. [1] Electrical synapses do not use quantal neurotransmitter release and instead use gap junctions between neurons to send current flows between ...

  7. Pearson distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearson_distribution

    A Pearson density p is defined to be any valid solution to the differential equation (cf. Pearson 1895, p. 381) ′ () + + + + = ()with: =, = = +, =. According to Ord, [3] Pearson devised the underlying form of Equation (1) on the basis of, firstly, the formula for the derivative of the logarithm of the density function of the normal distribution (which gives a linear function) and, secondly ...

  8. Shape of a probability distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_a_probability...

    The shape of a distribution will fall somewhere in a continuum where a flat distribution might be considered central and where types of departure from this include: mounded (or unimodal), U-shaped, J-shaped, reverse-J shaped and multi-modal. [1]

  9. N2 chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N2_Chart

    N 2 chart example. [1] The N 2 chart or N 2 diagram (pronounced "en-two" or "en-squared") is a chart or diagram in the shape of a matrix, representing functional or physical interfaces between system elements. It is used to systematically identify, define, tabulate, design, and analyze functional and physical interfaces.
