The cluster of differentiationcluster of designation often abbreviated as CD is a protocol used for the identification and investigation of cell surface molecule s present on white blood cells initially but found in almost any kind of cell of the body, providing targets for immunophenotyping of cells. Physiologically, CD molecules can act in numerous ways, often acting as receptor biochemistry receptors or ligand biochemistry ligands the molecule that activates a receptor important to the cell. A signal cascade is usually initiated, altering the behavior of the cell see cell signaling . Some CD proteins do not play a role in cell signaling, but have other functions, such as cell adhesion .

Unreferenced date December 2009 Delayed differentiation or Postponement is a concept in supply chain management where the manufacturing process starts by making a generic or family product that is later differentiated into a specific end product. This is a widely used method, especially in industries with high demand uncertainty, and can be effectively used to address the final demand even if forecasts cannot be improved. An example would be Benetton Group Benetton and their knitted sweaters that are initially all white, and then dyed into different colors only when the season customer color preference demand is known. It is usually necessary to redesign the product specifically for delayed differentiation, and resequence to modify the order of production manufacturing steps. See also Postponement Mass customization Typically all paint companies were burdened with the problem of having more than 200 shades, each available in more than 5 container sizes, making more than 1000 Stock keeping Units SKUs . The cost of keeping so many final products was almost killing the business. Paint companies changed their process to make white paint and the dyes of three basic colours. The final mixing was done by a machine at the retail end. This minimised the inventory kept by the retailer whilst improving customer service by giving the customer a choice of millions of shades in the exact quantity required.

Disputed date July 2009 Differentiation in semantics is defined by L bner 2002 as a meaning shift reached by adding concepts to the original concepts . His example is James Joyce is hard to understand , where understand is differentiated from perceiving the meaning to interpret the text meaning . A related meaning shift is metonymy , where one builds a new concept out of an element of the original concept. In the example mentioned, James Joyce most likely refers to the work of James Joyce and not to the author a metonymical shift. If the name were to refer to the man, understand would be differently differentiated, perhaps one would read it as interpret the speech articulation or comprehend the actions of the person James Joyce. Meaning shifts are very common among language users, and allow for great flexibility of word usage. It is not to be confused with lexical ambiguity though, words as uttered in a context may have perfectly precise meanings even though in varying contexts they may be used to express widely different meanings.

In mathematics , the problem of differentiation of integrals is that of determining under what circumstances the average mean value integral of a suitable function mathematics function on a small neighbourhood topology neighbourhood of a point approximates the value of the function at that point.

Here, as in the rest of the article, B sub r sub x denotes the open ball in X with d radius r and centre x .

In differential calculus , there is no single uniform notation for differentiation . Instead, several different notations for the derivative of a function mathematics function or dependent variable variable have been proposed by different mathematicians. The usefulness of each notation varies with the context, and it is sometimes advantageous to use more than one notation in a given context. The most common notations for differentiation are listed below. Leibniz s notation see also Leibniz s notation The original notation employed by Gottfried Leibniz is used throughout mathematics. It is particularly common when the equation y f x is regarded as a functional relationship between dependent and independent variables y and x . In this case the derivative can be written as math frac dy dx math The function whose value at x is the derivative of f at x is therefore written math frac d bigl f x bigr dx text or frac d dx bigl f x bigr math although strictly speaking this denotes the variable value of the derivative function rather than the derivative function itself .
