Mixing (mathematics)
Mixing is a property of measure-preserving dynamical systems in which past and future events become statistically independent over time, one level of the ergodic hierarchy.
Mixing console
A mixing console, also called a mixing desk or audio mixer, is an electronic device that combines, routes, and processes multiple audio signals into output programs for studios and live settings.
Mixing length theory
Mixing length theory (MLT) is a local, time-independent model of convection in stars, in which a fluid parcel rises a characteristic distance before dissolving and releasing its excess heat.
Mixing ratio
Mixing ratio is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air in moist air, usually quoted in grams of vapor per kilogram.
Mixing regime
A mixing regime is the annual pattern of vertical mixing and thermal stratification in a lake, classified by how often and how completely its water circulates each year.
Mixing time of Markov chains
The mixing time of a Markov chain is the number of steps needed for its distribution to become close to its stationary distribution, regardless of the starting state.
Mixmaster (remailer)
Mixmaster is the type II remailer protocol and its most popular implementation, an email anonymity system protecting against traffic analysis, first released by Lance Cottrell in 1995.
Mixmaster universe
The Mixmaster universe is an anisotropic cosmological model of Bianchi type IX introduced by Charles Misner in 1969, with an oscillatory approach to the big bang.
Mixolydian mode
Mixolydian mode: the fifth mode of the major scale, a major scale with a lowered seventh (flat-7 characteristic note). Medieval church mode 7 on final G; distinct from the ancient Greek namesake; common in blues, rock, and jazz.
Mixotrophic dinoflagellate
Mixotrophic dinoflagellates are dinoflagellate protists combining photosynthesis with prey ingestion, via own plastids, kleptoplastidy, or endosymbionts; widespread, bloom-forming, and important in plankton succession and ocean carbon cycling.
MixSingh
MixSingh, born Harmeet Singh, is an Indian music producer and composer known for Punjabi pop hits like 'Sakhiyaan' and his work with singer Juss and Diljit Dosanjh.
Mixtape
Mixtape: a curated song compilation, originally on cassette and circulated informally; in hip-hop, a non-label or experimental artist release. Distinct from album, EP, playlist, the MixTape app, and the 2026 Mixtape video game.
Mixtape (video game)
Mixtape (2026) is a narrative adventure by Beethoven & Dinosaur, published by Annapurna Interactive, released May 7, 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2; three friends' last high school night played as song-tied memory vignettes with licensed 70s-90s rock.
Mixtape Madness
Mixtape Madness is a London-based UK rap and drill media platform founded in 2010, whose Mad About Bars freestyles helped launch Headie One, Digga D, and J Hus.
Mixtape Pluto
Mixtape Pluto is Future's third 2024 release on Epic Records, a 17-track solo trap mixtape with no features, executive produced by Southside and Wheezy, that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Mixtec
Mixtec (Tu'un Savi, Ñuu Savi): Indigenous people and Oto-Manguean language of Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Puebla, Mexico; 526,593 speakers (2020), 81 variants, famous pictographic codices, distinct from the Mixe people.
Mixtec codices
Mixtec codices are pictorial manuscripts made by the Mixtec people of Oaxaca, Mexico, recording the genealogies, marriages, wars, and rituals of Postclassic ruling lineages; six pre-Hispanic examples survive.
Mixtec expansion into the Valley of Oaxaca
The Mixtec expansion into the Valley of Oaxaca was the movement of Mixtec-speaking people from the Mixteca highlands into the Zapotec heartland after Monte Albán's decline around AD 800-900.
Mixtec goldwork
Mixtec goldwork is the pre-Hispanic goldworking tradition of the Mixtec people of Oaxaca, southern Mexico, which flourished during the Postclassic period and produced most surviving Mesoamerican gold objects.
Mixtec oral literature
Mixtec oral literature is the body of narratives, songs, prayers, and ceremonial discourses transmitted by voice and memory among the Mixtec people of the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Mixtec wars of expansion under Eight Deer Jaguar Claw
The Mixtec wars of expansion under Eight Deer Jaguar Claw were 11th-century conquests in which the ruler Eight Deer of Tilantongo subdued dozens of towns in Oaxaca.
Mixtón War
The Mixtón War (Guerra del Mixtón) was an indigenous rebellion by the Caxcan and Zacateco peoples against Spanish rule in Nueva Galicia, western Mexico, from 1540 to 1542.
Mixtral 8x7B
Mixtral 8x7B is an open-weight sparse mixture-of-experts language model released by Mistral AI in December 2023 under Apache 2.0, with 47B total parameters of which 13B are active per token.
Mixture
A mixture is a phase containing more than one substance whose components can be separated by physical changes, unlike a compound, and may be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
Mixture density network
A mixture density network is a neural network that outputs the parameters of a Gaussian mixture, modeling a full conditional probability distribution rather than a single point estimate.
Mixture design
A mixture design is a design of experiments in which the factors are the proportions of components in a blend, constrained to be non-negative and to sum to one.
Mixture distribution
A mixture distribution is a probability distribution formed as a weighted combination of component distributions, equivalent to choosing a component at random and then sampling from it.
Mixture model
A mixture model is a probability model in which data are assumed to come from several component distributions, weighted so the weights sum to one.
Mixture of experts
Mixture of experts is a neural network architecture that routes each input to a few specialized expert sub-networks, allowing very large parameter counts with low per-token compute.
Mixture regression (statistics)
Mixture regression is a statistical modeling method that fits a weighted combination of regression models, identifying latent subpopulations with different predictor–outcome relationships from unlabeled data.
