  2. Transfer of learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_learning

    Although the theory is that the similarity of elements facilitates transfer, there is a challenge in identifying which specific elements had an effect on the learner at the time of learning. Factors that can affect transfer include: Context and degree of original learning: how well the learner acquired the knowledge.

  3. Identity element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_element

    Identity element. In mathematics, an identity element or neutral element of a binary operation is an element that leaves unchanged every element when the operation is applied. [1] [2] For example, 0 is an identity element of the addition of real numbers. This concept is used in algebraic structures such as groups and rings.

  4. Quantum entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

    Quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

  5. Transfer of training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_of_training

    For example, after completing a safety course, transfer of training occurs when the employee uses learned safety behaviors in their work environment. [1] Theoretically, transfer of training is a specific application of the theory of transfer of learning that describes the positive, zero, or negative performance outcomes of a training program ...

  6. History of atomic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_atomic_theory

    History of atomic theory. The current theoretical model of the atom involves a dense nucleus surrounded by a probabilistic "cloud" of electrons. Atomic theory is the scientific theory that matter is composed of particles called atoms. The definition of the word "atom" has changed over the years in response to scientific discoveries.

  7. Equivalence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation

    In mathematics, an equivalence relation is a binary relation that is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. The equipollence relation between line segments in geometry is a common example of an equivalence relation. A simpler example is equality. Any number is equal to itself (reflexive). If , then (symmetric).

  8. Transposable element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposable_element

    A bacterial DNA transposon. A transposable element ( TE, transposon, or jumping gene) is a nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size. [1] Transposition often results in duplication of the same genetic material.

  9. Identity component - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_component

    Identity component. In mathematics, specifically group theory, the identity component of a group G (also known as its unity component) refers to several closely related notions of the largest connected subgroup of G containing the identity element. In point set topology, the identity component of a topological group G is the connected component ...
