Aging brainAging of the brain is a process of transformation of the brain in older age, including changes all individuals experience and those of illness (including unrecognised illness). Usually this refers to humans. Since life extension is only pertinent if accompanied by health span extension, and, more importantly, by preserving brain health and cognition, finding rejuvenating approaches that act simultaneously in peripheral tissues and in brain function is a key strategy for development of rejuvenating technology.
Big lieA big lie (große Lüge) is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth primarily used as a political propaganda technique. The German expression was first used by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf (1925) to describe how people could be induced to believe so colossal a lie because they would not believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Hitler claimed that the technique had been used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist political leader in the Weimar Republic.
Suite de polynômesEn mathématiques, une suite de polynômes est une suite de polynômes indexée par les entiers positifs 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., dans laquelle chaque indice est souvent égal au degré du polynôme correspondant. Diverses suites de polynômes spéciaux sont nommées ; parmi celles-ci se trouvent : Monômes Factorielles croissantes Factorielles décroissantes Polynômes d'Abel Polynômes de Bateman (ou de Bateman-Pasternack) Polynômes de Bell Polynômes de Bernoulli Polynômes cyclotomiques Polynômes de Fibonacci Polynômes de Jaco
Suite de ShefferEn mathématiques, et plus précisément en analyse combinatoire, une suite de Sheffer, nommée d'après Isador M. Sheffer, est une suite de polynômes satisfaisant à des conditions permettant le calcul ombral. Soit p une suite de polynômes (de variable x) telle que deg(pn) = n. On définit un opérateur linéaire Q par : Q p(x) = np(x) ; la famille des p étant une base, ceci définit Q pour tous les polynômes.
Falling and rising factorialsIn mathematics, the falling factorial (sometimes called the descending factorial, falling sequential product, or lower factorial) is defined as the polynomial The rising factorial (sometimes called the Pochhammer function, Pochhammer polynomial, ascending factorial, rising sequential product, or upper factorial) is defined as The value of each is taken to be 1 (an empty product) when These symbols are collectively called factorial powers. The Pochhammer symbol, introduced by Leo August Pochhammer, is the notation (x)_n , where n is a non-negative integer.
Animateur (artiste)Un animateur est un artiste, technicien et spécialiste du monde de l'animation audiovisuel capable de créer la mise en mouvement de personnages et de décors. Cette discipline est utilisée dans les films d'animation, les publicités, les dessins animés, les animes, les jeux vidéo... L'animateur peut être spécialisé dans l'animation 2D ou 3D en maîtrisant l'animation numérique et les logiciels d'animation informatique 3D comme ZBrush, Maya ou 3ds Max. Le terme animateur provient du latin « animare » qui signifie donner de l'âme.
Framing (social sciences)In the social sciences, framing comprises a set of concepts and theoretical perspectives on how individuals, groups, and societies organize, perceive, and communicate about reality. Framing can manifest in thought or interpersonal communication. Frames in thought consist of the mental representations, interpretations, and simplifications of reality. Frames in communication consist of the communication of frames between different actors. Framing is a key component of sociology, the study of social interaction among humans.
