  2. Slowly changing dimension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowly_changing_dimension

    In data management and data warehousing, a slowly changing dimension (SCD) is a dimension that stores data which, while generally stable, may change over time, often in an unpredictable manner. [1] This contrasts with a rapidly changing dimension , such as transactional parameters like customer ID, product ID, quantity, and price, which undergo ...

  3. Typesetting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typesetting

    Not shown, and more the concern of the casterman, is the "set", or width of each sort. Set width, like body size, is measured in points. In order to extend the working life of type, and to account for the finite sorts in a case of type, copies of forms were cast when anticipating subsequent printings of a text, freeing the costly type for other ...

  4. Selection (evolutionary algorithm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_(evolutionary...

    In addition, selection mechanisms are also used to choose candidate solutions (individuals) for the next generation. The biological model is natural selection. Retaining the best individual(s) of one generation unchanged in the next generation is called elitism or elitist selection. It is a successful (slight) variant of the general process of ...

  5. Activity selection problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_selection_problem

    The activity selection problem is also known as the Interval scheduling maximization problem (ISMP), which is a special type of the more general Interval Scheduling problem. A classic application of this problem is in scheduling a room for multiple competing events, each having its own time requirements (start and end time), and many more arise ...

  6. Stabilizing selection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabilizing_selection

    Stabilizing selection (not to be confused with negative or purifying selection [1] [2]) is a type of natural selection in which the population mean stabilizes on a particular non-extreme trait value. This is thought to be the most common mechanism of action for natural selection because most traits do not appear to change drastically over time ...

  7. Selection bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_bias

    Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups, or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby failing to ensure that the sample obtained is representative of the population intended to be analyzed. [1] It is sometimes referred to as the selection effect.

  8. Central tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_tolerance

    The T cells that do not bind self, but do recognize antigen/MHC complexes, and are either CD4+ or CD8+, migrate to secondary lymphoid organs as mature naïve T cells. Regulatory T cells are another type of T cell that mature in the thymus. Selection of T reg cells occurs in the thymic medulla and is accompanied by the transcription of FOXP3. T ...

  9. Cell migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_migration

    Cell migration is a central process in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms.Tissue formation during embryonic development, wound healing and immune responses all require the orchestrated movement of cells in particular directions to specific locations.
