  2. Amyloid beta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_beta

    Amyloid beta (Aβ, Abeta or beta-amyloid) denotes peptides of 36–43 amino acids that are the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. [2] The peptides derive from the amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP), which is cleaved by beta secretase and gamma secretase to yield Aβ in a cholesterol ...

  3. Absolutely and completely monotonic functions and sequences

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_and_completely...

    The notions of completely and absolutely monotone function/sequence play an important role in several areas of mathematics. For example, in classical analysis they occur in the proof of the positivity of integrals involving Bessel functions or the positivity of Cesàro means of certain Jacobi series. [ 6 ]

  4. Biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomarkers_of_Alzheimer's...

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is composed of a family of peptides produced by proteolytic cleavage of the type I transmembrane spanning glycoprotein amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP). Amyloid plaque Aβ protein species ends in residue 40 or 42, [ 4 ] but it is suspected that Aβ42 form is crucial in the pathogenesis of AD.

  5. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

    Amyloid beta (Aβ) is a small protein, most often 40 or 42 amino acids in length, that is released from a longer parent protein called the Aβ-precursor protein (APP). [24] APP is produced by many types of cell in the body, but it is especially abundant in neurons. It is a single-pass transmembrane protein, passing once through cellular ...

  6. List of mathematical functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_functions

    Thomae's function: is a function that is continuous at all irrational numbers and discontinuous at all rational numbers. It is also a modification of Dirichlet function and sometimes called Riemann function. Kronecker delta function: is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal, and 0 otherwise.

  7. Helly's selection theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helly's_selection_theorem

    In mathematics, Helly's selection theorem (also called the Helly selection principle) states that a uniformly bounded sequence of monotone real functions admits a convergent subsequence. In other words, it is a sequential compactness theorem for the space of uniformly bounded monotone functions. It is named for the Austrian mathematician Eduard ...

  8. Snake lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_lemma

    The snake lemma is a tool used in mathematics, particularly homological algebra, to construct long exact sequences.The snake lemma is valid in every abelian category and is a crucial tool in homological algebra and its applications, for instance in algebraic topology.

  9. Fatou's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatou's_lemma

    This sequence converges uniformly on S to the zero function and the limit, 0, is reached in a finite number of steps: for every x ≥ 0, if n > x, then f n (x) = 0. However, every function f n has integral −1. Contrary to Fatou's lemma, this value is strictly less than the integral of the limit (0).
