The degenerate univariate distribution can be viewed as the limiting case of a continuous distribution whose variance goes to 0 causing the probability density function to be a delta function at k 0, with infinite height there but area equal to 1. [citation needed] The cumulative distribution function of the univariate degenerate distribution is:
Degenerate components compensate for one another under conditions where they are functionally redundant, thus providing robustness against component or pathway failure. Because degenerate components are somewhat different, they tend to harbor unique sensitivities so that a targeted attack such as a specific inhibitor is less likely to present a ...
However, if this eigenvalue, say , is degenerate, it can be said that ^ | belongs to the eigenspace of ^, which is said to be globally invariant under the action of ^. For two commuting observables A and B , one can construct an orthonormal basis of the state space with eigenvectors common to the two operators.
Degenerate matter, a very highly compressed phase of matter which resists further compression because of quantum mechanical effects Degenerate semiconductor , a semiconductor with such a high doping-level that the material starts to act more like a metal than as a semiconductor
A less degenerate site would produce a nonsynonymous mutation on some of the substitutions. An example (and the only) 3-fold degenerate site is the third position of an isoleucine codon. AUU, AUC, or AUA all encode isoleucine, but AUG encodes methionine. In computation, this position is often treated as a twofold degenerate site.
A degenerate conic is a conic section (a second-degree plane curve, defined by a polynomial equation of degree two) that fails to be an irreducible curve. A point is a degenerate circle, namely one with radius 0. [1] The line is a degenerate case of a parabola if the parabola resides on a tangent plane.
The central idea of this concept was that in "degenerative" illness, there is a steady decline in mental functioning and social adaptation from one generation to the other. For example, there might be an intergenerational development from nervous character to major depressive disorder, to overt psychotic illness and, finally, to severe and ...
In degenerate times, the current Buddha's teachings fall into disregard and are forgotten. In virtuous times a new Buddha will at some point be born to teach Dharma (usually considered to be millions of years in the future). [1] The teaching of the decline of the Dharma is found in early Buddhist sources.
