  2. Cell polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_polarity

    A neuron receives signals from neighboring cells through branched, cellular extensions called dendrites.The neuron then propagates an electrical signal down a specialized axon extension from the basal pole to the synapse, where neurotransmitters are released to propagate the signal to another neuron or effector cell (e.g., muscle or gland).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipinski's_Rule_of_Five

    Lipinski's rule of five, also known as Pfizer's rule of five or simply the rule of five (RO5), is a rule of thumb to evaluate druglikeness or determine if a chemical compound with a certain pharmacological or biological activity has chemical properties and physical properties that would likely make it an orally active drug in humans.

  4. Marsaglia polar method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marsaglia_polar_method

    The Marsaglia polar method [1] is a pseudo-random number sampling method for generating a pair of independent standard normal random variables. [ 2 ] Standard normal random variables are frequently used in computer science , computational statistics , and in particular, in applications of the Monte Carlo method .

  6. Polar auxin transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_auxin_transport

    Polar auxin transport (PAT) is directional and active flow of auxin molecules through the plant tissues. The flow of auxin molecules through the neighboring cells is driven by carriers (type of membrane transport protein) in the cell-to-cell fashion (from one cell to other cell and then to the next one) and the direction of the flow is determined by the localization of the carriers on the ...

  7. Polarized membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarized_membrane

    Polarized membranes are key cellular components that aid in facilitating compartmentalization, cell-to-cell communication, and signaling. Cells actively utilize polarized membranes to form and maintain electrochemical gradients and regulate both intracellular and extracellular environments.

    Semidiagrammatic. z.p. Zona pellucida. p.gl. Polar bodies. a. Two-cell stage. b. Four-cell stage. c. Eight-cell stage. d, e. Morula stage. A polar body is a small haploid cell that is formed at the same time as an egg cell during oogenesis, but generally does not have the ability to be fertilized. It is named from its polar position in the egg.

    Thus, the means test is a formula designed to keep filers with higher incomes from filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. These filers may use Chapter 13 bankruptcy to repay a portion of their debts, but may not use Chapter 7 to wipe out their debts altogether. [8] The bankruptcy means test is complex and the terms that govern many parts of it ...
