The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system which consists of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its ...
A crystal system is a set of point groups in which the point groups themselves and their corresponding space groups are assigned to a lattice system. Of the 32 crystallographic point groups that exist in three dimensions, most are assigned to only one lattice system, in which case both the crystal and lattice systems have the same name. However ...
Consider the system of linear equations: L i = 0 for 1 ≤ i ≤ M, and variables X 1, X 2, ..., X N, where each L i is a weighted sum of the X i s. Then X 1 = X 2 = ⋯ = X N = 0 is always a solution. When M < N the system is underdetermined and there are always an infinitude of further solutions.
The integumentary system includes skin, hair, scales, feathers, hooves, claws, and nails. It has a variety of additional functions: it may serve to maintain water balance, protect the deeper tissues, excrete wastes, and regulate body temperature , and is the attachment site for sensory receptors which detect pain, sensation, pressure, and ...
Gabbard has been outspoken against a "broken criminal justice system" that puts "people in prison for smoking marijuana" while allowing pharmaceutical corporations responsible for "opioid-related deaths of thousands to walk away scot-free with their coffers full". [248]
The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID) is a systems thinking heuristic coined by Stafford Beer, [1] who observed that there is "no point in claiming that the purpose of a system is to do what it constantly fails to do."
The major system (also called the phonetic number system, phonetic mnemonic system, or Hérigone's mnemonic system) is a mnemonic technique used to help in memorizing numbers. The system works by converting numbers into consonants, then into words by adding vowels. The system works on the principle that images can be remembered more easily than ...
The DNA was submitted to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), a database containing more than 1.6 million DNA profiles, but the sample did not match any profile in the database. [48] In October 2016, a report said that new forensic analysis with more sensitive techniques revealed that the original DNA contained genetic markers from two ...
