  2. Envelope (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(mathematics)

    This includes, by clearing denominators, the case where F(t, x, y) is a rational function in t. In this case, the definition amounts to t being a double root of F(t, x, y), so the equation of the envelope can be found by setting the discriminant of F to 0 (because the definition demands F=0 at some t and first derivative =0 i.e. its value 0 and ...

  3. Nuclear envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_envelope

    The nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane, [1] [a] is made up of two lipid bilayer membranes that in eukaryotic cells surround the nucleus, which encloses the genetic material. The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes: an inner nuclear membrane and an outer nuclear membrane. [ 4 ]

  4. Envelope (waves) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(waves)

    The envelope thus generalizes the concept of a constant amplitude into an instantaneous amplitude. The figure illustrates a modulated sine wave varying between an upper envelope and a lower envelope. The envelope function may be a function of time, space, angle, or indeed of any variable. Envelope for a modulated sine wave.

  5. Lower envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_envelope

    The upper envelope or pointwise maximum is defined symmetrically. For an infinite set of functions, the same notions may be defined using the infimum in place of the minimum, and the supremum in place of the maximum. [1] For continuous functions from a given class, the lower or upper envelope is a piecewise function whose pieces are from the ...

  6. Posselt's envelope of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posselt's_Envelope_of_Motion

    Posselt's envelope of motion or Posselt's envelope of movement refers to the range of motion of the lower jaw bone, or mandible. This envelope was first described by Ulf Posselt in 1952. It is a diagrammatic representation of a sagittal view of maximum mandibular movement.

  7. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The nuclear envelope of a typical mammalian cell contains 3000–4000 pore complexes. If the cell is synthesizing DNA each pore complex needs to transport about 100 histone molecules per minute. If the cell is growing rapidly, each complex also needs to transport about 6 newly assembled large and small ribosomal subunits per minute from the ...

  8. Nuclear pore complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pore_complex

    The principal function of nuclear pore complexes is to facilitate selective membrane transport of various molecules across the nuclear envelope. This includes the transportation of RNA and ribosomal proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm , as well as proteins (such as DNA polymerase and lamins ), carbohydrates , signaling molecules , and ...

  9. Lower convex envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_convex_envelope

    In mathematics, the lower convex envelope ˘ of a function defined on an interval [,] is defined at each point of the interval as the supremum of all ...
