She has a Master of Science in neuroscience from University of Copenhagen and a Ph.D. in philosophy from State University of New York at Buffalo. Drugs that interfere with the formation of new neural networks in the brain's main memory center can cause short-term memory loss. Short-term memory is the ability to store sensory information for relatively short times, ranging from a few minutes to a few days.
The vertical bar is used as a mathematical symbol in. 1  absolute value : , read the absolute value of x . 2  norms : , read the norm of x one, x two ; though Unicode also provides a special double vertical line symbol U+2016: âxâ. 3  Parallelism in geometry, where indicates that the line is parallel to the line.
Parallel Lines. Two lines are parallel if the have the same slope. Example 1: Find the slope of the line parallel to the line 4x â 5y = 12. To find the slope of this line we need to get the line into slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), which means we need to solve for y: The slope of the line 4x â 5y = 12 is m = 4/5.
