Nonlinear filterIn signal processing, a nonlinear (or non-linear) filter is a filter whose output is not a linear function of its input. That is, if the filter outputs signals R and S for two input signals r and s separately, but does not always output αR + βS when the input is a linear combination αr + βs. Both continuous-domain and discrete-domain filters may be nonlinear. A simple example of the former would be an electrical device whose output voltage R(t) at any moment is the square of the input voltage r(t); or which is the input clipped to a fixed range [a,b], namely R(t) = max(a, min(b, r(t))).
In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopyIn vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a specialized technique associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), also known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, is a non-invasive, ionizing-radiation-free analytical technique that has been used to study metabolic changes in brain tumors, strokes, seizure disorders, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and other diseases affecting the brain. It has also been used to study the metabolism of other organs such as muscles.
Panique bancairethumb|200px|Ruée bancaire à la Northern Rock le Une ruée bancaire, panique bancaire ou course aux guichets (en anglais : bank run, deposit run, deposit run-off)), est un phénomène, souvent auto-réalisateur, dans lequel un grand nombre de clients d'une banque craignent qu'elle ne devienne insolvable et en retirent leurs dépôts le plus vite possible. Quand ce phénomène se déroule dans un temps long et sans panique, on parle de « bank jog » (panique bancaire larvée).
