  2. Endovascular coiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endovascular_coiling

    Endovascular coiling is an endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms and bleeding throughout the body. The procedure reduces blood circulation to an aneurysm or blood vessel through the implantation of detachable platinum wires, with the clinician inserting one or more into the blood vessel or aneurysm until it is determined that blood flow is no longer occurring within the space.

  3. Sweep and prune - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweep_and_prune

    In physical simulations, sweep and prune is a broad phase algorithm used during collision detection to limit the number of pairs of solids that need to be checked for collision, i.e. intersection. This is achieved by sorting the starts (lower bound) and ends (upper bound) of the bounding volume of each solid along a number of arbitrary axes. As ...

  4. Emergency bleeding control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_bleeding_control

    External bleeding is generally described in terms of the origin of the blood flow by vessel type. The basic categories of external bleeding are: Arterial bleeding: As the name suggests, blood flow originating in an artery. With this type of bleeding, the blood is typically bright red to yellowish in colour, due to the high degree of oxygenation.

  5. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    However, insertion sort is one of the fastest algorithms for sorting very small arrays, even faster than quicksort; indeed, good quicksort implementations use insertion sort for arrays smaller than a certain threshold, also when arising as subproblems; the exact threshold must be determined experimentally and depends on the machine, but is ...

  6. Flashsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashsort

    For example, if m is chosen proportional to √ n, then the running time of the final insertion sorts is therefore m ⋅ O(√ n 2) = O(n 3/2). In the worst-case scenarios where almost all the elements are in a few buckets, the complexity of the algorithm is limited by the performance of the final bucket-sorting method, so degrades to O(n 2).

  7. Copper IUD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_IUD

    A copper intrauterine device (IUD), also known as an intrauterine coil, copper coil, or non-hormonal IUD, is a type of intrauterine device which contains copper. [3] It is used for birth control and emergency contraception within five days of unprotected sex . [ 3 ]

  8. Introsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort

    Introsort or introspective sort is a hybrid sorting algorithm that provides both fast average performance and (asymptotically) optimal worst-case performance. It begins with quicksort, it switches to heapsort when the recursion depth exceeds a level based on (the logarithm of) the number of elements being sorted and it switches to insertion sort when the number of elements is below some threshold.

  9. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data. It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language. The algorithm finds subsequences of the data that are already ordered (runs) and uses them to sort the ...
