Deer
A deer (: deer) or true deer is a hoofed ruminant ungulate of the family Cervidae (informally the deer family). Cervidae is divided into subfamilies Cervinae (which includes, among others, muntjac, elk (wapiti), red deer, and fallow deer) and Capreolinae (which includes, among others reindeer (caribou), white-tailed deer, roe deer, and moose). Male deer of almost all species (except the water deer), as well as female reindeer, grow and shed new antlers each year. These antlers are bony extensions of the skull and are often used for combat between males. The musk deer ( Moschidae) of Asia and chevrotains ( Tragulidae) of tropical African and Asian forests are separate families that are also in the ruminant clade Ruminantia; they are not especially closely related to Cervidae. Deer appear in art from Paleolithic cave paintings onwards, and they have played a role in mythology, religion, and literature throughout history, as well as in heraldry, such as red deer that app ...

Hirschman Uncertainty
In quantum mechanics, information theory, and Fourier analysis, the entropic uncertainty or Hirschman uncertainty is defined as the sum of the temporal and spectral Shannon entropies. It turns out that Heisenberg's uncertainty principle can be expressed as a lower bound on the sum of these entropies. This is ''stronger'' than the usual statement of the uncertainty principle in terms of the product of standard deviations. In 1957, Hirschman considered a function ''f'' and its Fourier transform ''g'' such that :g(y) \approx \int_^\infty \exp (-2\pi ixy) f(x)\, dx,\qquad f(x) \approx \int_^\infty \exp (2\pi ixy) g(y)\, dy ~, where the "≈" indicates convergence in 2, and normalized so that (by Plancherel's theorem), : \int_^\infty , f(x), ^2\, dx = \int_^\infty , g(y), ^2 \,dy = 1~. He showed that for any such functions the sum of the Shannon entropies is non-negative, : H(, f, ^2) + H(, g, ^2) \equiv - \int_^\infty , f(x), ^2 \log , f(x), ^2\, dx - \int_^\infty , g(y), ^2 \lo ...
