I am a member of WikiProject Medicine, a Wikipedia wide project that maintains and improves articles that fall under the scope of medicine. Since your article has fallen under our scope, I have placed the correct template(s) on this talk page for verification. Upon reviewed of the article, I'd like to make a few points, as shown below:
*Assess article with class and importance factors
*Added medical genetics for more improvement

Talk:Witch of Agnesi

message: What's so special about this curve?--Anakata 18:28, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Witch of Agnesi is functionally equivalent to the Cauchy-Lorentz Distribution, which has many uses in mathematics and physics.  The one with which I am most familiar is the Lorentzian profile, or "natural broadening", of atomic emission and absorption spectral lines. I have added a link to the Cauchy Distribution page under "See Also".  AmberRobot 21:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that the special nature is due to the geometric definition which was added a few days after Anakata's question.  Note that the curve is not unilaterally scaleable: stretching it in (only) the horizontal or vertical direction will change the curve into a non-witch (unlike, say, an ellipse, which can be scaled arbitrarily).  So only specific Cauchy-Lorentz distributions are actually witches. Cheers, Doctormatt 00:31, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Special nature

message: This page states that Fermat studied this curve in 1666, but Fermat's page states that he died in 1665.

message: I am questioning this article's value of the centroid's x-coordinate at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Mathematics#Does the Witch of Agnesi really have a well-defined centroid?. Comments are invited.--Jasper Deng (talk) 04:48, 8 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I took this out for now. If there is a centroid its x-coordinate must be 0 (by symmetry) and its y-coordinate is necessarily 0 (because of the heavy tails) but there are competing claims in the literature whether that really is the centroid or whether the centroid is undefined (because the integral that would define it diverges). The trouble is that "the integral that would define it" can mean any of several different things. Really, it's more a statement about the Cauchy distribution and its (lack of an) expected value, than about this curve itself, so I think it's ok to omit it. But we can put it back in if we find a source that goes into this issue in more depth than just the obvious considerations above, and handles it as a property of this curve rather than of the associated probability distribution. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:37, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Bernoulli Box

message: I remember having a Bernoulli Drive back in probably 1984 or 1985.  The "drive" was actually identical to the original IBM PC/XT case (big, lead, grey), even with the big orange power switch on the left rear side.  It had two drives in it, each about half the width of the box.   The cartridges were 10MB and were about 3/4 of the full length of the entire case.  It connected to the IBM PC/XT by some large cable (possibly SCSI?).  Each drive had a black button with a red LED on it.  The drives were very unreliable, but it might be because the carts we had were old/overused.  I remember losing a lot of data over the failure of the carts and our inability to get any service or a replacement drive.  Does anyone remember what I'm talking about?  /Blaxthos 05:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Quicksort/core implementations

message: For some reason, people have an overwhelming urge to add implementations of sorting algorithms in every conceivable language. Once upon a time, the quicksort article's "Implementations" section was five times as long as the rest of the article put together. To deal with this, most of these implementations were moved out to quicksort implementations, a comprehensive list of quicksort implementations, leaving only a few representative ones in the original article. However, because we also want those few representative ones in quicksort implementations, this created a fork where the two articles diverged. This template is placed in now placed in both articles to prevent this divergence. It has the nice side effect of making it harder to edit the core implementations than the "additional" implementations, since people are continuing to add too many core implementations.

thread_title:  Purpose of this template 

message: For those wondering why I haven't included the Java example here, despite the widespread use of Java, this is because it's for conceptual purposes nearly identical to the C/C++ versions. The C++ version at least generalizes the C version substantially, so I felt it was different enough. The Java version can still be found in quicksort implementations.

text: I agree it's odd, especially when the two sources are publications that discuss the uniqueness of the mitochondrial DNA found in Atlas bears, which suggests that at least the female lines all derived from the lost Atlas subpopulation. I could only read the abstract online without paying, so the publication might have speculated about the possible translocation of male bears by Romans, but if so, I would think they would have cited their source (which I'd guess were historical or anthropological rather than from DNA) and this wiki article should cite THAT source.Paddling bear (talk) 13:52, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
