The Gumbel distribution is a probability distribution of extreme values. In probability theory and statistics, the Gumbel distribution is used to model the distribution of the maximum (or the minimum) of a number of samples of various distributions. Such a distribution might be used to represent the distribution of the maximum level of a river in a particular year if there was a list of maximum values for the past ten years. It is also useful in predicting the chance that an extreme earthquake, flood or other natural disaster will occur. Properties. The Gumbel distribution is a continuous probability distribution. Gumbel distributions are a family of distributions of the same general form. These distributions differ in their "location" and "scale" parameters: the mean ("average") of the distribution defines its location, and the standard deviation ("variability") defines the scale. One recognizes the Gumbel "probability density function" (PDF) and the Gumbel "cumulative distribution function" (CDF). PDF. In the PDF, the probability P of a value V to occur between limits A and B, briefly written as P(A&lt;VP(V \leq A) = CDF(A) &lt;/math&gt;. Mathematics. The CDF. The mathematical expression of the CDF is: formula_1 where μ is the "mode" (the value where the probability density function reaches its peak), "e" is a mathematical constant, about 2.718, and β is a value related to the "standard deviation" (σ) : formula_2 where π is the Greek symbol for Pi whose value is close to 22/7 or 3.142, and the symbol formula_3 stands for the square root. Mode and median. The "mode" μ can be found from the "median" M, being the value of A where CDF(A)=0.5, and β: formula_4 where "ln" is the natural logarithm. Mean. The "mean", E(x), given by: formula_5 where formula_6 = "Euler constant" formula_7 0.5772. Estimation. In a data series, the parameters "mode" (μ) and

Anomalocaris ("abnormal shrimp") is an extinct genus of anomalocaridid, which are, in turn, thought to be closely related to the arthropods. The first fossils of "Anomalocaris" were discovered in the "Ogygopsis" shale by Joseph Frederick Whiteaves, with more examples found by Charles Doolittle Walcott in the famed Burgess Shale. Description. "Anomalocaris" lived in the Cambrian period, which was a long time before dinosaurs. This makes "Anomalocaris" very old, so their body parts haven't evolved to be as detailed as modern animals. However, "Anomalocaris" still had compound eyes which were very big and complex compared to other animals in the earlier parts of the Cambrian, and also had segmented (has many sections) front appendages which were used to grasp its prey like arms. So while "Anomalocaris" was around the size of a small lobster, it still was a very good apex predator for its time. Behaviour. "Anomalocaris" lived in the sea, like most of the plants (which were really small algae in the Cambrian) and animals back then. Recently, people now think that "Anomalocaris" didn't hunt trilobites and other benthic animals that lived on the sea floor, but instead swam after nekton like basal chordates (animals that can control how they move underwater, unlike plankton).  As a different animal. "Anomalocaris" was misidentified many times, as the mouth, front appendages and trunk (the rest of its body) were discovered separately multiple times, leading scientists to think for a while that these parts of "Anomalocaris" were, in fact, of three different animals, with the mouth thought to be a jellyfish, the front appendages thought to be a shrimp and the trunk thought to be a sea cucumber or sponge.

Lipid bilayers form cell membranes. They form a continuous sheet around all cells, and they surround most cell organelles. Lipid bilayers form automatically from phospholipids by self-assembly. The phospholipids have heads which mix with water and tails which reject water. So the tails come together in the centre of the double layer, and the heads on the outside are surrounded by water.  The lipid bilayers stop most water-soluble (hydrophilic) molecules passing through. They also stop most ions. In cells, proteins are put in the bilayer by enzymes. The proteins decide which molecules come in and which go out of the cell. For example, cells control salt concentrations and pH by pumping ions across their membranes using proteins called ion pumps.
