  2. Rational expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_expression

    Rational expression may refer to: A mathematical expression that may be rewritten to a rational fraction , an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. A regular expression , also known as rational expression, used in formal language theory (computer science)

  3. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expression_of_the...

    In chapter 13 (which highlights the emotional states of self-attention, shame, shyness, modesty, and blushing), Darwin describes blushing as "the most peculiar and the most human of all expressions". Darwin closes the book with chapter 14, where he summarises his central argument, demonstrating how human emotions link mental states with bodily ...

  4. Gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_expression

    The process of gene expression is used by all known life—eukaryotes (including multicellular organisms), prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea), and utilized by viruses—to generate the macromolecular machinery for life. In genetics, gene expression is the most fundamental level at which the genotype gives rise to the phenotype, i.e. observable ...

  5. Regulation of gene expression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_gene_expression

    Regulation of gene expression, or gene regulation, [1] includes a wide range of mechanisms that are used by cells to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products (protein or RNA). Sophisticated programs of gene expression are widely observed in biology, for example to trigger developmental pathways, respond to environmental ...

  6. Campbell's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell's_law

    Campbell's law is an adage developed by Donald T. Campbell, a psychologist and social scientist who often wrote about research methodology, which states: . The more any quantitative social indicator is used for social decision-making, the more subject it will be to corruption pressures and the more apt it will be to distort and corrupt the social processes it is intended to monitor.

  7. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

    If the rational root test finds no rational solutions, then the only way to express the solutions algebraically uses cube roots. But if the test finds a rational solution r, then factoring out (x – r) leaves a quadratic polynomial whose two roots, found with the quadratic formula, are the remaining two roots of the cubic, avoiding cube roots.

  8. Rational function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_function

    In mathematics, a rational function is any function that can be defined by a rational fraction, which is an algebraic fraction such that both the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials need not be rational numbers ; they may be taken in any field K .

  9. Emotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion

    The expression of anger is in many cultures discouraged in girls and women to a greater extent than in boys and men (the notion being that an angry man has a valid complaint that needs to be rectified, while an angry women is hysterical or oversensitive, and her anger is somehow invalid), while the expression of sadness or fear is discouraged ...
