  2. Symmetry in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_biology

    In ctenophores the two planes of symmetry are (1) the plane of the tentacles and (2) the plane of the pharynx. [1] In addition to this group, evidence for biradial symmetry has even been found in the 'perfectly radial' freshwater polyp Hydra (a cnidarian). Biradial symmetry, especially when considering both internal and external features, is ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_cake-cutting

    A third, less common criterion is equitability (EQ). In an equitable division, each person enjoys exactly the same value. In the example cake, an equitable division can be achieved by giving each person half the chocolate and half the vanilla, such that each person enjoys a value of 5. In symbols:

  4. Coronal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_plane

    For a human, the mid-coronal plane would transect a standing body into two halves (front and back, or anterior and posterior) in an imaginary line that cuts through both shoulders. The description of the coronal plane applies to most animals as well as humans even though humans walk upright and the various planes are usually shown in the ...

  5. Divide and choose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide_and_choose

    Divide and choose (also Cut and choose or I cut, you choose) is a procedure for fair division of a continuous resource, such as a cake, between two parties. It involves a heterogeneous good or resource ("the cake") and two partners who have different preferences over parts of the cake (both want as much of it as possible). The procedure ...

  6. Sagittal plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittal_plane

    This plane cuts the body into halves (assuming bilateral symmetry), [3] passing through midline structures such as the navel and spine. It is one of the planes which, combined with the umbilical plane, defines the four quadrants of the human abdomen. [4] The term parasagittal is used to describe any plane parallel or adjacent to a given ...

  7. Quartile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile

    If there are an even number of data points in the original ordered data set, split this data set exactly in half. The lower quartile value is the median of the lower half of the data. The upper quartile value is the median of the upper half of the data. The values found by this method are also known as "Tukey's hinges"; [4] see also midhinge.

    Roland participated in an outpatient program, went through detox many times, quit in the middle of two different long-term residential stints, and completed a stay at Recovery Works, in Georgetown, before her fatal overdose a week later, on April 16, 2013. For the treatment centers, the revolving door may be financially lucrative.

  9. Hilbert's third problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_third_problem

    Two polyhedra of equal volume, cut into two pieces which can be reassembled into either polyhedron. The third of Hilbert's list of mathematical problems, presented in 1900, was the first to be solved. The problem is related to the following question: given any two polyhedra of equal volume, is it always possible to cut the first
