  2. Amyloid beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_beta

    Amyloid beta (Aβ, Abeta or beta-amyloid) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. [2] The peptides derive from the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP), which is cleaved by beta secretase and gamma secretase to yield Aβ in a cholesterol ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow-growing_hierarchy

    where f α are the functions in the fast-growing hierarchy. He further showed that the first α this holds for is the ordinal of the theory ID <ω of arbitrary finite iterations of an inductive definition. [5] However, for the assignment of fundamental sequences found in [3] the first match up occurs at the level ε 0. [6]

  4. Fundamental sequence (set theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_sequence_(set...

    Fundamental sequences arise in some settings of definitions of large countable ordinals, definitions of hierarchies of fast-growing functions, and proof theory.Bachmann defined a hierarchy of functions in 1950, providing a system of names for ordinals up to what is now known as the Bachmann–Howard ordinal, by defining fundamental sequences for namable ordinals below . [9]

  5. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a small protein, most often 40 or 42 amino acids in length, that is released from a longer parent protein called the Aβ-precursor protein (APP). [24] APP is produced by many types of cell in the body, but it is especially abundant in neurons. It is a single-pass transmembrane protein, passing once through cellular ...

  6. Veblen function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_function

    In mathematics, the Veblen functions are a hierarchy of normal functions (continuous strictly increasing functions from ordinals to ordinals), introduced by Oswald Veblen in Veblen (1908). If φ 0 is any normal function, then for any non-zero ordinal α, φ α is the function enumerating the common fixed points of φ β for β<α. These ...

  7. Iterated limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iterated_limit

    In multivariable calculus, an iterated limit is a limit of a sequence or a limit of a function in the form , = (,), (,) = ((,)),or other similar forms. An iterated limit is only defined for an expression whose value depends on at least two variables. To evaluate such a limit, one takes the limiting process as one of the two variables approaches some number, getting an expression whose value ...

  8. Symbolab - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolab

    Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011.

  9. Snake lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_lemma

    The snake lemma is a tool used in mathematics, particularly homological algebra, to construct long exact sequences.The snake lemma is valid in every abelian category and is a crucial tool in homological algebra and its applications, for instance in algebraic topology.
