β Cassiopeiae is a binary star, with a faint companion, which orbits it every 27 days.

The term was abbreviated and somehow came to signify β Cassiopeiae alone.

In Chinese, (), meaning Wang Liang, refers to an asterism consisting of β Cassiopeiae, κ Cassiopeiae, η Cassiopeiae, α Cassiopeiae and λ Cassiopeiae.

Consequently, β Cassiopeiae itself is known as (,.

In some amino acids, the amine group is attached to the β or γ-carbon, and these are therefore referred to as beta or gamma amino acids.

* β Apodis is an orange giant 158 light years away, with a magnitude of 4. 2.

In Chinese, the asterism consisting of α, β, and γ Aquilae is known as (, ).

It contains both α and β ' phase ; the β '- phase is body-centered cubic and is harder and stronger than α. Alpha-beta brasses are usually worked hot.

The Boltzmann distribution is often expressed in terms of β = 1 / kT where β is referred to as thermodynamic beta.

The structure of a Streptomyces β lactamase is given by.

The β sheet ( also β-pleated sheet ) is the second form of regular secondary structure in proteins, only somewhat less common than the alpha helix.

A beta strand ( also β strand ) is a stretch of polypeptide chain typically 3 to 10 amino acids long with backbone in an almost fully extended conformation.

* Convex cone, a subset C of a vector space V is a convex cone if αx + βy belongs to C, for any positive scalars α, β, and any x, y in C

β Capricorni is a double star also known as Dabih.

The alternative form, in which the CH < sub > 2 </ sub > OH substituent and the anomeric hydroxyl are on the same side ( cis ) of the plane of the ring, is called the β anomer.

where A ∈ N ( i. e., A is a single nonterminal ), α, β ∈ ( N U Σ )* ( i. e., α and β are strings of nonterminals and terminals ) and γ ∈ ( N U Σ )< sup >+</ sup > ( i. e., γ is a nonempty string of nonterminals and terminals ).

The name context-sensitive is explained by the α and β that form the context of A and determine whether A can be replaced with γ or not.

However, unlike peptidoglycan, the sugar N-acetylmuramic acid is replaced by N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid, and the two sugars are bonded with a β, 1-3 glycosidic linkage instead of β, 1-4.

In Samoa the constellation is called Sumu (" triggerfish ") because of its rhomboid shape, while α and β Centauri are called Luatagata ( Two Men ), just as they are in Tonga.

where E is the total energy of the particle ( i. e. rest energy plus kinetic energy in kinematic sense ), p the momentum, the Lorentz factor, c the speed of light, and β the speed as a fraction of c. The variable v can either be taken to be the speed of the particle or the group velocity of the corresponding matter wave.

There are a few notable variable stars, including β, 25, 23 Sextantis, and LHS 292.

In probability theory and statistics, the beta distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions defined on the interval 1 parametrized by two positive shape parameters, denoted by α and β, that appear as exponents of the random variable and control the shape of the distribution.

The probability density function of the beta distribution, for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, and shape parameters α > 0 and β > 0, is a power function of the variable x and of its reflection ( 1-x ) as follows:

In the following, that a random variable X is Beta-distributed with parameters α and β will be denoted by:

The mode of a Beta distributed random variable X with both parameters α and β greater than one is:

It contains the famous variable star Algol ( β Per ), and is also the location of the radiant of the annual Perseids meteor shower.

The interpretation of the β < sub > j </ sub > parameter estimates is as the additive effect on the log of the odds for a unit change in the jth explanatory variable.

Assume now that the vector of unknown parameters β is of length k. In order to perform a regression analysis the user must provide information about the dependent variable Y:

# Finding a solution for unknown parameters β that will, for example, minimize the distance between the measured and predicted values of the dependent variable Y ( also known as method of least squares ).

# Under certain statistical assumptions, the regression analysis uses the surplus of information to provide statistical information about the unknown parameters β and predicted values of the dependent variable Y.

If the experimenter had performed measurements at three different values of the independent variable vector X, then regression analysis would provide a unique set of estimates for the three unknown parameters in β.

Each y is modeled as a random variable with a mean given by a nonlinear function f ( x, β ).

* β < sup > n </ sup > is a variable binder occurrence in γ ( p. 262 )

The TCR is a disfulfide-linked membrane-anchored heterodimer consisting of the highly variable alpha ( α ) and beta ( β ) chain expressed as part of a complex with the invariant CD3 chain molecules.

T cells expressing this receptor are referred to as α: β T cells, though a minority of cells express an alternate receptor, formed by variable γ and δ chains, referred as γδ T cells.

Regression analysis quantifies a relationship between a predictor variable and a criterion variable by the coefficient of correlation r, coefficient of determination r², and the standard regression coefficient β.

Multiple regression analysis expresses a relationship between a set of predictor variables and a single criterion variable by the multiple correlation R, multiple coefficient of determination R², and a set of standard partial regression weights β < sub > 1 </ sub >, β < sub > 2 </ sub >, etc.

Beta Sextantis ( β Sex, β Sextantis ) is a variable star in the constellation Sextans.
