  2. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulations have become a useful tool for the mathematical modeling of many natural systems in physics (computational physics), astrophysics, climatology, chemistry, biology and manufacturing, as well as human systems in economics, psychology, social science, health care and engineering. Simulation of a system is represented as the ...

  3. Jenks natural breaks optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenks_natural_breaks...

    [1] The Jenks classification method is commonly used in thematic maps, especially choropleth maps, as one of several available classification methods. When making choropleth maps, the Jenks classification method can be advantageous because if there are clusters in the data values, it will identify them.

  4. Biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemistry

    Biochemistry, or biological chemistry, is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. [1] A sub-discipline of both chemistry and biology, biochemistry may be divided into three fields: structural biology, enzymology, and metabolism. Over the last decades of the 20th century, biochemistry has become successful at ...

  5. Discrete-event simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-event_simulation

    The simulation must keep track of the current simulation time, in whatever measurement units are suitable for the system being modeled. In discrete-event simulations, as opposed to continuous simulations, time 'hops' because events are instantaneous – the clock skips to the next event start time as the simulation proceeds.

  6. Sequence homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_homology

    Top: An ancestral gene duplication produces two paralogs (histone H1.1 and 1.2). A speciation event produces orthologs in the two daughter species (human and chimpanzee). Bottom: in a separate species , a gene has a similar function (histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein) but has a separate evolutionary origin and so is an analog.

  7. Programming paradigm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm

    [1] Paradigms are separated along and described by different dimensions of programming. Some paradigms are about implications of the execution model, such as allowing side effects, or whether the sequence of operations is defined by the execution model. Other paradigms are about the way code is organized, such as grouping into units that ...

  8. Genetic code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code

    With some exceptions, [1] a three-nucleotide codon in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid. The vast majority of genes are encoded with a single scheme (see the RNA codon table ). That scheme is often called the canonical or standard genetic code, or simply the genetic code, though variant codes (such as in mitochondria ) exist.

  9. Glossary of computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_computer_science

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...
