For example, if function div stands for the division operation x / y, then div with the parameter x fixed at 1 ( i. e., div 1 ) is another function: the same as the function inv that returns the multiplicative inverse of its argument, defined by inv ( y )

More broadly the term is used in a wide number of contexts for an image, picture, or representation ; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it either concretely or by analogy, as in semiotics ; by extension, icon is also used, particularly in modern culture, in the general sense of symbol — i. e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.

This meta-analysis was controversial and stands in stark contrast with two different reviews also performed in 2006 by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and a second JAMA review ; both indicated decreases in total mortality and cardiovascular incidents ( i. e., myocardial infarctions ) associated with the regular consumption of fish and fish oil supplements.

where n < sub > i </ sub > stands for the number of particles occupying level i or the number of feasible microstates corresponding to macrostate i ; U < sub > i </ sub > stands for the energy of i ; T stands for temperature ; and k < sub > B </ sub > is the Boltzmann constant.

SNOBOL4 stands apart from most programming languages by having patterns as a first-class data type ( i. e. a data type whose values can be manipulated in all ways permitted to any other data type in the programming language ) and by providing operators for pattern concatenation and alternation.

In the 1728 version of the poem, the goddess Dulness notes that " Time himself stands still at her command ,/ Realms shift their place, and Ocean turns to land " ( Dunciad 1728, i, 69 – 70 ).

At one point, Hyundai became the butt of many jokes ( i. e. Hyundai stands for " Hope you understand nothing's driveable and inexpensive ") and even made David Letterman's Top Ten Hilarious Mischief Night Pranks To Play In Space: No. 8 – Paste a " Hyundai " logo on the main control panel.

The kepstrum, which stands for " Kolmogorov equation power series time response ", is similar to the cepstrum and has the same relation to it as statistical average has to expected value, i. e. cepstrum is the empirically measured quantity while kepstrum is the theoretical quantity.

The formula is important because it connects complex numbers ( i stands for the imaginary unit ( i < sup > 2 </ sup > = − 1.

The diagonalizable operator is the special case of this in which Af for each i.

When Af for each i, we shall have Af, because the operator Af will then be 0 on the range of Af.

This religion preaches the view of Ahimsa – to live and let live, thereby not harming sentient beings, i. e. uncompromising reverence for all life.

The importance lies in sacrifice for the sake of the greater good ; Islam considers those practicing i ' thar as abiding by the highest degree of nobility.

A constant concern for Allah ( i. e. God ) results in a careful attitude towards people, animals, and other things in this world.

Compared to earlier telegraph codes, the proposed Bell code and ASCII were both ordered for more convenient sorting ( i. e., alphabetization ) of lists and added features for devices other than teleprinters.

* If it is required to use a single number X as an estimate for the value of numbers, then the arithmetic mean does this best, in the sense of minimizing the sum of squares ( x < sub > i </ sub > − X )< sup > 2 </ sup > of the residuals.

This led to the conclusion ( Moseley's law ) that the atomic number does closely correspond ( with an offset of one unit for K-lines, in Moseley's work ) to the calculated electric charge of the nucleus, i. e. the proton number Z.

If the method is applied to an infinite sequence ( X < sub > i </ sub >: i ∈ ω ) of nonempty sets, a function is obtained at each finite stage, but there is no stage at which a choice function for the entire family is constructed, and no " limiting " choice function can be constructed, in general, in ZF without the axiom of choice.

* There exists a model of ZF ¬ C in which there is a function f from the real numbers to the real numbers such that f is not continuous at a, but f is sequentially continuous at a, i. e., for any sequence

An analog or analogue signal is any continuous signal for which the time varying feature ( variable ) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity, i. e., analogous to another time varying signal.

for i in range ( n ):

Though the title " abbot " is not given in the Western Church to any but actual abbots of monasteries today, the title archimandrite is given to " monastics " ( i. e., celibate ) priests in the East, even when not attached to a monastery, as an honor for service, similar to the title of monsignor in the Western / Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church.

" Hall of the Slain " i. e. " the Chosen Ones ") This heavenly abode, somewhat analogous to the Greek Elysium, is reserved for those brave warriors who die heroically in battle.

As far as atoms and their electron shells were concerned, not only did this yield a better overall description, i. e. the atomic orbital model, but it also provided a new theoretical basis for chemistry

These states are labeled by a set of quantum numbers summarized in the term symbol and usually associated with particular electron configurations, i. e., by occupation schemes of atomic orbitals ( e. g., 1s < sup > 2 </ sup > 2s < sup > 2 </ sup > 2p < sup > 6 </ sup > for the ground state of neon -- term symbol: < sup > 1 </ sup > S < sub > 0 </ sub >).

Atomic orbitals can be the hydrogen-like " orbitals " which are exact solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a hydrogen-like " atom " ( i. e., an atom with one electron ).

Alternatively, atomic orbitals refer to functions that depend on the coordinates of one electron ( i. e. orbitals ) but are used as starting points for approximating wave functions that depend on the simultaneous coordinates of all the electrons in an atom or molecule.

* Let Q be a set enclosed between two step regions S and T. A step region is formed from a finite union of adjacent rectangles resting on a common base, i. e. S ⊆ Q ⊆ T. If there is a unique number c such that a ( S ) ≤ c ≤ a ( T ) for all such step regions S and T, then a ( Q )

In February he and Gratian had published an edict that all their subjects should profess the faith of the bishops of Rome and Alexandria ( i. e., the Nicene faith ), or be handed over for punishment for not doing so.

If the resulting four kilobyte table size is too large for a given target platform, the table lookup operation can be performed with a single 256-entry 32-bit ( i. e. 1 kilobyte ) table by the use of circular rotates.

They are coupled to G < sub > i </ sub >/ G < sub > o </ sub > and decrease the cellular concentrations of cAMP by inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

These two intrahemispheric systems, each of which activates an opposing cortical " tropism ", interact through mutual inhibition that maintains a dynamic balance between approaching toward ( i. e. with " intent-to-capture " in which contact with and grasping onto the attended object is sought ) versus withdrawing from ( i. e. with " intent-to-escape " in which distancing from the attended object is sought ) environmental stimuli in the behavior of the contralateral limbs ( Denny-Brown, 1956, 1958, 1966 ).

It has been hypothesized that CRs are generated by the INP as a result of release from PC inhibition ( i. e. Perrett et al., 1993 ).

* Low latent inhibition, i. e., over-sensitivity to noise, smell, light and the inability to tune out, filtering unwanted information or impressions.

Antidepressants including ones with a similar mechanism of action as duloxetine, i. e. serotonin metabolism inhibition, cause a decrease in proinflammatory cytokine activity and an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines ; this mechanism may apply to duloxetine in its effect on depression but research on cytokines specific to duloxetine therapy is lacking.

Though neuroethological subjects tend not to be traditional neurobiological model systems ( i. e. Drosophila, C. elegans, or Danio rerio ), neuroethological approaches emphasizing comparative methods have uncovered many concepts central to neuroscience as a whole, such as lateral inhibition, coincidence detection, and sensory maps.

The affinity of an antagonist for its binding site ( K < sub > i </ sub >), i. e. its ability to bind to a receptor, will determine the duration of inhibition of agonist activity.

Affinity for competitive agonists and antagonists is related by the Cheng-Prusoff factor used to calculate the K < sub > i </ sub > ( affinity constant for an antagonist ) from the shift in IC < sub > 50 </ sub > that occurs during competitive inhibition.

They wrote: ‘ The psychic state in catatonic schizophrenia can be described as one of great excitement ( i. e., hyperalertness ) The inhibition of activity apparently does not alter the inner seething excitement.

Some strains of LAB may affect pathogens by means of competitive inhibition ( i. e., by competing for growth ) and there is evidence to suggest that they may improve immune function by increasing the number of IgA-producing plasma cells, increasing or improving phagocytosis as well as increasing the proportion of T lymphocytes and Natural Killer cells.

Splinting, to maintain muscle stretch and provide tone inhibition, and cold ( i. e. in the form of ice packs ), to decrease neural firing, are other strategies that can be used to temporarily decrease spasticity.

In mixed inhibition, the inhibitor binds to an allosteric site, i. e. a site different from the active site where the substrate binds.

A decrease in the large fiber input decreases activity of interneurons inhibiting nociceptive neurons i. e. loss of afferent inhibition.

K < sub > i </ sub > is the inhibition constant for a drug ; the concentration of competing ligand in a competition assay which would occupy 50 % of the receptors if no ligand were present.

Histamine H < sub > 3 </ sub > receptors are expressed in the central nervous system and to a lesser extent the peripheral nervous system, where they act as autoreceptors in presynaptic histaminergic neurons, and also control histamine turnover by feedback inhibition of histamine synthesis and release .< ref name =" pmid2172771 "> The H < sub > 3 </ sub > receptor has also been shown to presynaptically inhibit the release of a number of other neurotransmitters ( i. e. it acts as an inhibitory heteroreceptor ) including, but probably not limited to dopamine, GABA, acetylcholine, noradrenaline, and serotonin.

The H < sub > 3 </ sub > receptor is coupled to the G < sub > i </ sub > G-protein, so it leads to inhibition of the formation of cAMP.

The kinetics of inhibitor binding and inhibition of catalysis imply the existence of two PDE5 conformers, and results of native gel electrophoresis reveal that PDE5 exists in two apparently distinct conformations, i. e., an extended conformer and a more compact conformer.

It uses dissonance and loud, repetitive rhythms to depict " Dionysian " modernism, i. e., abandonment of inhibition ( restraint standing for civilization ).
