A characteristic of the income distribution of virtually all economies is that a high proportion of households have incomes falling within the lower-size classes, while a very small proportion of households fall within the high-income classes. This feature remains remarkably stable over time, the main changes being a general upward shift in the whole distribution, rather than a greater compression of it.  3, record 1, English, - income%20distribution

The substrate concentration at which all enzyme-active sites are occupied and, consequently, at which the reaction velocity is maximal.  2, record 6, English, - saturation

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The general principles of chemical-reaction kinetics apply to enzyme-catalyzed reactions, but they also show a distinctive feature not usually observed in nonenzymatic reactions, saturation with substrate.... At a low substrate concentration, the initial reaction velocity v_o is nearly proportional to the substrate concentration, and the reaction is thus approximately first order with respect to the substrate. However, as the substrate concentration is increased, the initial rate increases less, so that is is no longer nearly proportional to the substrate concentration; in this zone, the reaction is mixed order. With a further increase in the substrate concentration, the reaction rate becomes essentially independent of substrate concentration and asymptotically approaches a constant rate.  3, record 6, English, - saturation

The modern world is full of large data sets: census data, multimedia databases, and remote sensing data, to name a few. With the aid of computers it is possible to collect scientific data on a grand scale. These examples are not "large" merely because they have many data points. They are also high dimensional, meaning that there are many measurements taken of each person, multimedia object, or point on the ground. The "data point" representing one person is made up of their age, gender, educational level, occupation, and whatever else was recorded. Suppose there are 12 attributes recorded for each person.

Jacobson pointed out that most linguistic contrast are not equivalent or reversible : one pole of the contrast is more basic (or unmarked), while the other is essentially defined in relation to the basic pole, and is therefore marked.
