  2. Logistic map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_map

    Both the logistic map and the sine map are one-dimensional maps that map the interval [0, 1] to [0, 1] and satisfy the following property, called unimodal . = =. The map is differentiable and there exists a unique critical point c in [0, 1] such that ′ =. In general, if a one-dimensional map with one parameter and one variable is unimodal and ...

  3. Estimates of historical world population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimates_of_historical...

    As a general rule, the confidence of estimates on historical world population decreases for the more distant past. Robust population data exist only for the last two or three centuries. Until the late 18th century, few governments had ever performed an accurate census.

    [38]: 92–93 These maps also feature locations where different types of timber can be gathered, while two of the maps state the distances in mileage to the timber sites. [38]: 93 In light of this, these maps are perhaps the oldest economic maps in the world since they predate Strabo's economic maps. [38]: 93

  5. Tonotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonotopy

    In physiology, tonotopy (from Greek tono = frequency and topos = place) is the spatial arrangement of where sounds of different frequency are processed in the brain. Tones close to each other in terms of frequency are represented in topologically neighbouring regions in the brain.

  6. Cartographic generalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartographic_generalization

    During the first half of the 20th century, cartographers began to think seriously about how the features they drew depended on scale. Eduard Imhof, one of the most accomplished academic and professional cartographers at the time, published a study of city plans on maps at a variety of scales in 1937, itemizing several forms of generalization that occurred, including those later termed ...

  7. Map–territory relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map–territory_relation

    The map–territory relation is the relationship between an object and a representation of that object, as in the relation between a geographical territory and a map of it. Mistaking the map for the territory is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone confuses the semantics of a term with what it represents.

    By 1895, it had reached a reported frequency of 98% in Manchester. [20] From around 1962 to the present, the phenotype frequency of carbonaria has steadily fallen in line with cleaner air around industrial cities. Its decline has been measured more accurately than its rise, through more rigorous scientific studies.

  9. Human genetic variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetic_variation

    Genetic variation Genetic variation of Eurasian populations showing different frequency of West- and East-Eurasian components. [ 56 ] It is commonly assumed that early humans left Africa, and thus must have passed through a population bottleneck before their African-Eurasian divergence around 100,000 years ago (ca. 3,000 generations).
