Lastly, parietal cells synthesizedand secrete intrinsic factor which aids in the absorption of vitamin B12 by the ileum. Chief cells (B or arrow)are located, in cluster, at the base of the glands. They synthesize and secret hydrolytic enzymes, which areactivated at acid pH. These enzymes include gastric lipase, rennin and pepsin, which is secreted aspepsinogen and activated in the lumen. Pepsin hydrolyzes proteins. Rennin breaks down milk proteins andlipase initiates the digestion of fats.
A basis set in theoretical and computational chemistry is a set of functions (called basis functions) which are combined in linear combinations (generally as part of a quantum chemical calculation) to create molecular orbitals.
In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, a B-spline, or basis spline, is a spline function that has minimal support with respect to a given degree, smoothness, and domain partition. Any spline function of given degree can be expressed as a linear combination of B-splines of that degree. Cardinal B-splines have knots that are equidistant from each other. B-splines can be used for curve-fitting and numerical differentiation of experimental data. In computer-aided design and computer gra
