Keratosis Pilaris
Keratosis pilaris (KP; also follicular keratosis, lichen pilaris, or colloquially chicken skin.) is a common, autosomal- dominant, genetic condition of the skin's hair follicles characterized by the appearance of possibly itchy, small, gooseflesh-like bumps, with varying degrees of reddening or inflammation. It most often appears on the outer sides of the upper arms (the forearms can also be affected), thighs, face, back, and buttocks; KP can also occur on the hands, and tops of legs, sides, or any body part except glabrous (hairless) skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Often the lesions can appear on the face, which may be mistaken for acne or folliculitis. The several types of KP have been associated with pregnancy, type 1 diabetes mellitus, obesity, dry skin, allergic diseases (e.g., atopic dermatitis), and rarely cancer. Many rarer types of the disorder are part of inherited genetic syndromes. The cause of KP is not completely understood. As of 2018, KP is thou ...

Kadomtsev–Petviashvili Equation
In mathematics and physics, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (often abbreviated as KP equation) is a partial differential equation to describe nonlinear wave motion. Named after Boris Kadomtsev, Boris Borisovich Kadomtsev and Vladimir Iosifovich Petviashvili, the KP equation is usually written as \displaystyle \partial_x(\partial_t u+u \partial_x u+\epsilon^2\partial_u)+\lambda\partial_u=0 where \lambda=\pm 1. The above form shows that the KP equation is a generalization to two spatial dimensions, ''x'' and ''y'', of the one-dimensional Korteweg–de Vries equation, Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. To be physically meaningful, the wave propagation direction has to be not-too-far from the ''x'' direction, i.e. with only slow variations of solutions in the ''y'' direction. Like the KdV equation, the KP equation is completely integrable. It can also be solved using the inverse scattering transform much like the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. In 2002, the regularized version ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pentax KP
The Pentax KP is a 24 megapixel compact APS-C AA-filterless digital SLR camera announced by Ricoh on January 25, 2017. It features a PRIME IV image processor with an "image accelerator unit" that supports its operation up to ISO 819,200. It has a 1/6000s conventional and 1/24,000s electronic shutter (available in Live View). In terms of bracketing modes, it adds depth of field and shutter speed bracketing. The Pentax KP uses the Pentax K-mount interchangeable lens system. Compared to Pentax K-70 The Pentax KP is similar in many aspects to the about half year older K-70 but significantly more expensive. The differences are: * The KP has a more vintage, old film SLR looking body and they also have a different button layout. * The material of the bodies is also different, the KP has a magnesium alloy construction built on a stainless steel chassis whereas the K-70 is made out of plastic. * The KP can shoot a 7 fps continuous burst, the K-70 is one fps slower. * The maximum ...

Kripke–Platek Set Theory
The Kripke–Platek set theory (KP), pronounced , is an axiomatic set theory developed by Saul Kripke and Richard Platek. The theory can be thought of as roughly the predicative part of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory (ZFC) and is considerably weaker than it. Axioms In its formulation, a Δ0 formula is one all of whose quantifiers are bounded. This means any quantification is the form \forall u \in v or \exist u \in v. (See the Lévy hierarchy.) * Axiom of extensionality: Two sets are the same if and only if they have the same elements. * Axiom of induction: φ(''a'') being a formula, if for all sets ''x'' the assumption that φ(''y'') holds for all elements ''y'' of ''x'' entails that φ(''x'') holds, then φ(''x'') holds for all sets ''x''. * Axiom of empty set: There exists a set with no members, called the empty set and denoted . * Axiom of pairing: If ''x'', ''y'' are sets, then so is , a set containing ''x'' and ''y'' as its only elements. * Axiom of union: For any set ...
