  2. Scientific method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

    The history of scientific method considers changes in the methodology of scientific inquiry, not the history of science itself. The development of rules for scientific reasoning has not been straightforward; scientific method has been the subject of intense and recurring debate throughout the history of science, and eminent natural philosophers and scientists have argued for the primacy of ...

  3. Scientific law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_law

    Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena. [1] The term law has diverse usage in many cases (approximate, accurate, broad, or narrow) across all fields of natural science ( physics , chemistry , astronomy , geoscience , biology ).

  4. Mental chronometry - Wikipedia

    The subject then decides if the sentence matches the picture or does not. The type of sentence determines how many processes need to be performed before a decision can be made. According to the data from Clark and Chase (1972) and Just and Carpenter (1971), the TA sentences are the simplest and take the least time, than FA, FN, and TN sentences.

  5. Time in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics

    The UTC timestamp in use worldwide is an atomic time standard. The relative accuracy of such a time standard is currently on the order of 10 −15 [13] (corresponding to 1 second in approximately 30 million years).

  6. Gesture recognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gesture_recognition

    A real hand (left) is interpreted as a collection of vertices and lines in the 3D mesh version (right), and the software uses their relative position and interaction in order to infer the gesture. The 3D model approach can use volumetric or skeletal models or even a combination of the two.

  7. Real-time computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_computing

    The term "real-time" is used in process control and enterprise systems to mean "without significant delay". Real-time software may use one or more of the following: synchronous programming languages, real-time operating systems (RTOSes), and real-time networks. Each of these provide essential frameworks on which to build a real-time software ...

  8. Talk:Real-time polymerase chain reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Real-time_polymerase...

    When pcr is mentioned, most use the wording "real-time quantitative pcr" or some similar wording that retains the term "real-time." The exception is the Biotechniques article, the first paper cited (in the current version of the article). Even there, they use the words "real-time qPCR" when the technique is first referred to in the abstract.

  9. Recursion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion

    A sentence can have a structure in which what follows the verb is another sentence: Dorothy thinks witches are dangerous, in which the sentence witches are dangerous occurs in the larger one. So a sentence can be defined recursively (very roughly) as something with a structure that includes a noun phrase, a verb, and optionally another sentence.
