  2. Abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis

    If the deep marine hydrothermal setting was the site for the origin of life, then abiogenesis could have happened as early as 4.0-4.2 Gya. If life evolved in the ocean at depths of more than ten meters, it would have been shielded both from impacts and the then high levels of ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

  3. Hypothetical types of biochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_types_of...

    The possible role of liquid ammonia as an alternative solvent for life is an idea that goes back at least to 1954, when J. B. S. Haldane raised the topic at a symposium about life's origin. [52] Numerous chemical reactions are possible in an ammonia solution, and liquid ammonia has chemical similarities with water.

  4. Pivot table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivot_table

    A pivot table is a table of values which are aggregations of groups of individual values from a more extensive table (such as from a database, spreadsheet, or business intelligence program) within one or more discrete categories. The aggregations or summaries of the groups of the individual terms might include sums, averages, counts, or other ...

  5. Power Pivot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Pivot

    Power Pivot allows for importing data from multiple sources, such as databases (SQL Server, Microsoft Access, etc.), OData data feeds, Excel files, and other sources, facilitating comprehensive data analysis within a single environment. [10] The VertiPaq compression engine is used to hold the data model in memory on the client computer ...

  6. Non-planetary abiogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-planetary_abiogenesis

    The concept of life forms living on the surface of neutron stars was proposed by radio astronomer Frank Drake in 1973. Drake said that the atomic nuclei in neutron stars have large variety which might combine in supernuclei, analogous to the molecules that serve the base of life on Earth.

  7. Pivotal quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pivotal_quantity

    Then is called a pivotal quantity (or simply a pivot). Pivotal quantities are commonly used for normalization to allow data from different data sets to be compared. It is relatively easy to construct pivots for location and scale parameters: for the former we form differences so that location cancels, for the latter ratios so that scale cancels.

  8. Error threshold (evolution) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_threshold_(evolution)

    It can be seen that, for example, one third of the mutations of the [001] molecules will produce [000] molecules, while the other two thirds will produce the class 2 molecules [011] and [101]. We can now write the expression for the child populations n i ′ {\displaystyle n'_{i}} of class i in terms of the parent populations n j {\displaystyle ...

  9. Alternative abiogenesis scenarios - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_abiogenesis...

    A scenario is a set of related concepts pertinent to the origin of life (abiogenesis), such as the iron-sulfur world. Many alternative abiogenesis scenarios have been proposed by scientists in a variety of fields from the 1950s onwards in an attempt to explain how the complex mechanisms of life could have come into existence. These include ...
