  2. List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

    In psychology and cognitive science, a memory bias is a cognitive bias that either enhances or impairs the recall of a memory (either the chances that the memory will be recalled at all, or the amount of time it takes for it to be recalled, or both), or that alters the content of a reported memory. There are many types of memory bias, including:

  3. Grain (textile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain_(textile)

    A garment made of woven fabric is said to be "cut on the bias" when the fabric's warp and weft threads are on one of the bias grains. Woven fabric is more elastic as well as more fluid in the bias direction, compared to the straight and cross grains. This property facilitates garments and garment details that require extra elasticity ...

  4. Bias (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_(statistics)

    Detection bias occurs when a phenomenon is more likely to be observed for a particular set of study subjects. For instance, the syndemic involving obesity and diabetes may mean doctors are more likely to look for diabetes in obese patients than in thinner patients, leading to an inflation in diabetes among obese patients because of skewed detection efforts.

  5. Proline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline

    Furthermore, proline is rarely found in α and β structures as it would reduce the stability of such structures, because its side chain α-nitrogen can only form one nitrogen bond. Additionally, proline is the only amino acid that does not form a red-purple colour when developed by spraying with ninhydrin for uses in chromatography. Proline ...

  6. Units of textile measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Units_of_textile_measurement

    A gram is defined as one thousandth of the SI base unit, the kilogram, or 1 × 10 −3 kg. Square metre (alternative spelling: square meter; SI unit symbol: m 2) is a superficial area equal to that of a square whose sides' lengths are each one metre. Typically a cheap T-shirt fabric is approximately 150 g/m 2. GSM of fabric helps in determining ...

  7. Biasing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biasing

    A graphical representation of the current and voltage properties of a transistor; the bias is selected so that the operating point permits maximum signal amplitude without distortion. In electronics , biasing is the setting of DC ( direct current ) operating conditions (current and voltage) of an electronic component that processes time-varying ...

  8. Proline isomerization in epigenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proline_isomerization_in...

    One of the most well known epigenetic mechanisms that proline isomerization plays a role in is the modification of histone tails, specifically those of histone H3. Fpr4 is a PPIase, in the FK507BP group, that exhibits catalytic activity at the proline positions 16, 30, and 38 (also written P16, P30, and P38 respectively) on the N-terminal region of histone H3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

  9. Bias tape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_tape

    Bias tape or bias binding is a narrow strip of fabric, typically plain weave, cut on the bias. As the weave of fabric is at a 45-degree angle, the resulting fabric strip is stretchier than a strip cut on the grain. The strip also has a better drape, and conforms to curves better than fabric cut on the grain. [1]
