The Dataframe API was released as an abstraction on top of the RDD, followed by the Dataset API. In Spark 1.x, the RDD was the primary application programming interface (API), but as of Spark 2.x use of the Dataset API is encouraged [3] even though the RDD API is not deprecated. [4] [5] The RDD technology still underlies the Dataset API. [6] [7]
In operator theory, a branch of mathematics, a positive-definite kernel is a generalization of a positive-definite function or a positive-definite matrix.It was first introduced by James Mercer in the early 20th century, in the context of solving integral operator equations.
Ukrspecsystems PD-2 is a Ukrainian multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It is designed for aerial reconnaissance and for combat use as a carrier of bombs with warheads weighing up to 3 kg (6.6 lb).

The perifocal coordinate system (with unit vectors p, q, w), against the reference coordinate system (with unit vectors I, J, K) The perifocal coordinate (PQW) system is a frame of reference for an orbit.
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is one among numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division.In particular, PDGF plays a significant role in blood vessel formation, the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue, mitogenesis, i.e. proliferation, of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells and ...
Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), (CD279 cluster of differentiation 279). PD-1 is a protein encoded in humans by the PDCD1 gene. [5] [6] PD-1 is a cell surface receptor on T cells and B cells that has a role in regulating the immune system's response to the cells of the human body by down-regulating the immune system and promoting self-tolerance by suppressing T cell inflammatory activity.
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a type of dialysis that uses the peritoneum in a person's abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is used to remove excess fluid, correct electrolyte problems , and remove toxins in those with kidney failure . [ 3 ]
