NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Sequence (disambiguation)

sequence, a logical and mathematical notion
In biochemistry, a biopolymer's sequence is synonymous with its primary structure: the list of basic building blocks constituting the polymer (for example a DNA sequence). Determining such a sequence is called sequencing.
In medi�val Latin literature, a sequence (Latin sequentia) is a poem written in a non-classical metre that uses rhyme and an accentual (stress based) rather than quantititive (vowel length based) verse form. See, for example: Pange Lingua; Dies Ir�
In music, a sequence is a passage which is successively repeated at different pitches (transposed). Sequences are either chromatic if exact or diatonic if they follow the scale being used. See also: Music sequencer.
In dance, a sequence is a predefined series of movements.
In film, a sequence corresponds to the theatrical term "scene".
In computer science, a sequence is generally synonymous with a list. See also: Microsequencer.

Sequence Disambiguation (508 words)
	More precisely, Levy (1996) proposed that sequence coding by the hippocampus may be especially important when the sequences have overlapping elements through which memory of earlier elements must be remembered to complete each distinct sequence, a process called sequence disambiguation.
	However, it is not clear from this study whether the demand for disambiguation of sequences per se, rather than other aspects of spatial processing, is critical.
	In order to test whether sequence disambiguation is a fundamental feature of memory processing dependent on the hippocampus, we designed a sequence disambiguation task after Levy's (1996) formal model that involved two series of events that overlap in the middle items.

Britain.tv Wikipedia - Sequence (812 words)
	A subsequence of a given sequence is a sequence formed from the given sequence by deleting some of the elements without disturbing the relative positions of the remaining elements.
	If the terms of the sequence are a subset of an ordered set, then a monotonically increasing sequence is one for which each term is greater than or equal to the term before it; if each term is strictly greater than the one preceding it, the sequence is called strictly monotonically increasing.
	Sequences over a field may also be viewed as vectors in a vector space.
