T theory is a branch of discrete mathematics dealing with analysis of tree graph theory tree s and discrete metric spaces . General history As per Andreas Dress , T theory originated from a question raised by Manfred Eigen , a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , in the late seventies. He was trying to fit twenty distinct transfer RNA t RNA molecule s of the Escherichia coli E. Coli bacterium into a tree. One of the most important concepts of T theory is the tight span of a metric space. If X is a metric space, the tight span T X of X is, up to isomorphism, the unique minimal injective metric space that contains X . John Isbell was the first to discover the tight span in 1964, which he called the injective envelope . Dress independently constructed the same construct, which he called the tight span. Application areas Phylogenetic analysis, which is used to create phylogenetic tree s. Online algorithm s k server problem k server problem Recent developments Bernd Sturmfels , Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at University of California, Berkeley Berkeley , and Josephine Yu classified six point metrics using T theory.

In science and engineering , a physical system system is the part of the universe that is being studied, while the environment is the remainder of the universe that lies outside the boundaries of the system. It is also known as the surroundings , and in thermodynamics , as the reservoir . Depending on the type of system, it may interact with the environment by exchanging mass , energy including heat and Work physics work , linear momentum , angular momentum , electric charge , or conservation law other conserved properties . In some disciplines, such as information theory , information may also be exchanged. The environment is ignored in analysis of the system, except in regards to these interactions. ref The Blue Book on Environment by Richard Dawkins ref The Environmental systems are vital to the human race and to all living organisms.

Expert subject multiple Mathematics Systems date February 2010 By the term multidimensional systems or m D systems we mean the branch of mathematical systemstheory where not only one Variable mathematics variable exists like time , but several independent variables. Important problems like factorization and Stability theory stability have recently attracted the interest of many researchers and practitioners. The reason is that the factorization and stability of m D systems m 1 is not a straightforward extension of the factorization and stability of 1 D systems because for example the fundamental theorem of algebra does not exist in the Ring mathematics ring of m D m 1 polynomials . Applications Multidimensional systems or m D systems are the necessary mathematical background for modern digital image processing with many applications in biomedicine , X ray technology and satellite communications . There are also some studies combining m D systems with partial differential equations PDEs .

A living hinge is a thin flexible hinge flexure bearing made from the same material as the two rigid pieces it connects, rather than cloth , leather , or some other flexible substance. It is typically thinned or cut to allowing the rigid pieces to bend along the line of the hinge. The minimal friction and very little wear in such a hinge makes it useful in the design of microelectromechanical systems , and the low cost and ease of manufacturing makes them quite common in disposable packaging .
