41Circular error probable — In the military science of ballistics, circular error probable (CEP) (also circular error probability or circle of equal probability[1]) is an intuitive measure of a weapon system s precision. It is defined as the radius of a circle, centered… …
42Laser beam profiler — A laser beam profiler captures, displays, and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path. Since there are many types of lasers ultraviolet, visible, infrared, continuous… …
43Audio power — Sound measurements Sound pressure p, SPL Particle velocity v, SVL Particle displacement ξ Sound intensity I, SIL Sound power Pac Sound power level SWL Sound energy Sound energy density …
44Random coil — A random coil is a polymer conformation where the monomer subunits are oriented randomly while still being bonded to adjacent units. It is not one specific shape, but a statistical distribution of shapes for all the chains in a population of… …
45Errors and residuals in statistics — For other senses of the word residual , see Residual. In statistics and optimization, statistical errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of a sample from its theoretical value . The error of a… …
46Lp space — In mathematics, the Lp spaces are function spaces defined using a natural generalization of the p norm for finite dimensional vector spaces. They are sometimes called Lebesgue spaces, named after Henri Lebesgue (Dunford Schwartz 1958, III.3),… …
47Least squares — The method of least squares is a standard approach to the approximate solution of overdetermined systems, i.e., sets of equations in which there are more equations than unknowns. Least squares means that the overall solution minimizes the sum of… …
48Homology modeling — Homology modeling, also known as comparative modeling of protein refers to constructing an atomic resolution model of the target protein from its amino acid sequence and an experimental three dimensional structure of a related homologous protein… …
