Epidemiological transition. Diagram showing sharp birth rate and death rate decreases between Time 1 and Time 4, the congruent increase in population caused by delayed birth rate decreases, and the subsequent re-leveling of population growth by Time 5. In demography and medical geography, epidemiological transition is a theory which "describes ...
Transition kernel. In the mathematics of probability, a transition kernel or kernel is a function in mathematics that has different applications. Kernels can for example be used to define random measures or stochastic processes. The most important example of kernels are the Markov kernels .
Although alkali metal alkoxides are not salts and adopt complex structures, they behave chemically as sources of RO. A transition metal alkoxide complex is a kind of coordination complex containing one or more alkoxide ligands, written as RO−, where R is the organic substituent. [citation needed] Metal alkoxides are used for coatings and as ...
In automata theory, a finite-state machine is called a deterministic finite automaton (DFA), if. each of its transitions is uniquely determined by its source state and input symbol, and. reading an input symbol is required for each state transition. A nondeterministic finite automaton ( NFA ), or nondeterministic finite-state machine, does not ...
Stochastic matrix. In mathematics, a stochastic matrix is a square matrix used to describe the transitions of a Markov chain. Each of its entries is a nonnegative real number representing a probability. [1] [2] : 9–11 It is also called a probability matrix, transition matrix, substitution matrix, or Markov matrix.
Nutrition transition is the shift in dietary consumption and energy expenditure that coincides with economic, demographic, and epidemiological changes. Specifically the term is used for the transition of developing countries from traditional diets high in cereal and fiber to more Western-pattern diets high in sugars , fat, and animal-source food.

The evolution of tetrapods began about 400 million years ago in the Devonian Period with the earliest tetrapods evolved from lobe-finned fishes. [1] Tetrapods (under the apomorphy -based definition used on this page) are categorized as animals in the biological superclass Tetrapoda, which includes all living and extinct amphibians, reptiles ...
