A fraction 3 / y requires three terms in its greedy expansion if and only if y ≡ 1 (mod 6), for then −y mod x = 2 and y(y + 2) / 3 is odd, so the fraction remaining after a single step of the greedy expansion, () ⌈ ⌉ = (+) is in simplest terms. The simplest fraction 3 / y with a three-term expansion is 3 / 7.
The DNA self repair processes in some organisms is exceptionally good; for instance, the bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can tolerate a 15 000 Gy (1.5 MRad) dose. This is a graph showing the effect of fractionation on the ability of gamma rays to cause cell death. The blue line is for cells which were not given a chance to recover; the red ...
It is known that ζ(3) is irrational (Apéry's theorem) and that infinitely many of the numbers ζ(2n + 1) : n ∈ , are irrational. There are also results on the irrationality of values of the Riemann zeta function at the elements of certain subsets of the positive odd integers; for example, at least one of ζ (5), ζ (7), ζ (9), or ζ (11 ...
Knowledge production modes. A knowledge production mode is a term from the sociology of science which refers to the way (scientific) knowledge is produced. So far, three modes have been conceptualized. Mode 1 production of knowledge is knowledge production motivated by scientific knowledge alone ( basic research) which is not primarily ...

Identification, friend or foe ( IFF) is a combat identification system designed for command and control. It uses a transponder that listens for an interrogation signal and then sends a response that identifies the broadcaster. IFF systems usually use radar frequencies, but other electromagnetic frequencies, radio or infrared, may be used. [1]
Artificial consciousness [1] ( AC ), also known as machine consciousness ( MC ), [2] [3] synthetic consciousness [4] or digital consciousness, [5] is the consciousness hypothesized to be possible in artificial intelligence. [6] It is also the corresponding field of study, which draws insights from philosophy of mind, philosophy of artificial ...
The 802.11 standard provides several distinct radio frequency ranges for use in Wi-Fi communications: 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz, 3.6 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 5 GHz, 5.9 GHz and 60 GHz bands. Each range is divided into a multitude of channels. In the standards, channels are numbered at 5 MHz spacing within a band (except in the 60 GHz band, where they are 2.16 GHz ...
