  2. Uterus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus

    In monotremes such as the platypus, the uterus is duplex and rather than nurturing the embryo, secretes the shell around the egg. It is essentially identical with the shell gland of birds and reptiles, with which the uterus is homologous. [35] In mammals, the four main forms of the uterus are: duplex, bipartite, bicornuate and simplex. [36] Duplex

  3. Simplex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex

    For example, a 0-dimensional simplex is a point, a 1-dimensional simplex is a line segment, a 2-dimensional simplex is a triangle, a 3-dimensional simplex is a tetrahedron, and; a 4-dimensional simplex is a 5-cell. Specifically, a k-simplex is a k-dimensional polytope that is the convex hull of its k + 1 vertices.

  4. Duplex printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_printing

    Duplex printing is a feature of some computer printers and multi-function printers (MFPs) that allows the printing of a sheet of paper on both sides automatically. Print devices without this capability can only print on a single side of paper, sometimes called single-sided printing or simplex printing .

  5. Duplex (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_(telecommunications)

    A duplex communication system is a point-to-point system composed of two or more connected parties or devices that can communicate with one another in both directions. Duplex systems are employed in many communications networks, either to allow for simultaneous communication in both directions between two connected parties or to provide a reverse path for the monitoring and remote adjustment ...

    Herpes simplex, often known simply as herpes, is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. [5] Herpes infections are categorized by the area of the body that is infected. The two major types of herpes are oral herpes and genital herpes , though other forms also exist.

  8. Simplicial complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplicial_complex

    An example of a non-homogeneous complex is a triangle with a line segment attached to one of its vertices. Pure simplicial complexes can be thought of as triangulations and provide a definition of polytopes. A facet is a maximal simplex, i.e., any simplex in a complex that is not a face of any larger simplex. [2]

  9. Uterine malformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_malformation

    Surgical intervention depends on the extent of the individual problem. With a didelphic uterus surgery is not usually recommended. A uterine septum can be resected in a simple out-patient procedure that combines laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. This procedure greatly decreases the rate of miscarriage for women with this anomaly.
