  2. Firing squad synchronization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firing_squad...

    The fast wave bounces off the other end of the line and meets the slow wave in the centre. The two waves then split into four waves, a fast and slow wave moving in either direction from the centre, effectively splitting the line into two equal parts. This process continues, subdividing the line until each division is of length 1.

    Critical-cell: These come into play when the political climate becomes less permissive than one that allowed shadow cells [clarify]. While other cell systems try to form intelligence cells within the government, this type sets up " shadow government " cells that can seize power once the status quo is overthrown.

  4. Cell synchronization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_synchronization

    Cell synchronization is a process by which cells in a culture at different stages of the cell cycle are brought to the same phase. Cell synchrony is a vital process in the study of cells progressing through the cell cycle as it allows population-wide data to be collected rather than relying solely on single-cell experiments.

  5. Cell isolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_isolation

    Cell isolation is the process of separating individual living cells from a solid block of tissue or cell suspension. While some types of cell naturally exist in a separated form (for example blood cells ), other cell types that are found in solid tissue require specific techniques to separate them into individual cells.

  6. Cell fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_fusion

    a Cells of the same lineage fuse to form a cell with multiple nuclei, known as a syncytium. The fused cell can have an altered phenotype and new functions such as barrier formation. b Cells of different lineage fuse to form a cell with multiple nuclei, known as a heterokaryon. The fused cells might have undergone a reversion of phenotype or ...

  7. Fusion mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_mechanism

    Cell fusion is the formation of a hybrid cell from two separate cells. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] There are three major actions taken in both virus–cell fusion and cellcell fusion: the dehydration of polar head groups, the promotion of a hemifusion stalk, and the opening and expansion of pores between fusing cells. [ 3 ]

  8. Splitting storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splitting_storm

    A splitting storm is a phenomenon when a convective thunderstorm will separate into two supercells, with one propagating towards the left (the left mover) and the other to the right (the right mover) of the mean wind shear direction across a deep layer of the troposphere. In most cases, this mean wind shear direction is roughly coincident with ...

  9. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    At the peak of the cyclin, attached to the cyclin dependent kinases this system pushes the cell out of interphase and into the M phase, where mitosis, meiosis, and cytokinesis occur. [19] There are three transition checkpoints the cell has to go through before entering the M phase. The most important being the G 1-S transition checkpoint. If ...
