However, the rational expectations assumption is controversial since... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_theorem |

The (R,R) catalyst is shown. The catalyst could effectively, with loadings as low as 0.5 mol%, open the epoxide at the terminal position enantioselectively, yielding enantioenriched epoxide starting material and 1,2-azido alcohols. Yields are nearly quantitative and ee's were excellent (≥95% in nearly all cases). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_resolution |
WASP-43b is a dense hot Jupiter with a mass 1.78 times the mass of Jupiter, but a radius 0.93 times that of Jupiter's. The planet orbits its host star at a mean distance of 0.0142 AU every 0.813475 days (19.5234 hours); this orbital period, at the time of WASP-43b's discovery, was the second-shortest orbit yet detected... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-43b |
The technology was first used by Channel 4 during a Test match between England and Pakistan on Lord's Cricket Ground, on 21 May 2001. It is used by the majority of television networks to track the trajectory of balls in flight. Its major use in cricket broadcasting is in analysing LBW decisions, where the likely path o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawk_Eye |
The current selection of dentifrice should also be critically analysed and changed to include a less abrasive and gentler paste such as sensitive toothpaste as evidence suggests that a very abrasive toothpaste would lead to loss of tooth structure. A toothpaste containing increased fluoride will also help combat the in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_dentin_abrasivity |
Neither of these family-group names may be used as a valid name, the type-genus in each case being a junior homonym.

Function lateralization, such as semantics, intonation, accentuation, and prosody, has since been called into question and largely been found to have a neuronal basis in both hemispheres. Another example is that each hemisphere in the brain tends to represent one side of the body. In the cerebellum, this is the same bo... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateralization_of_brain_function |
An earthquake is a phenomenon that results from the sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground and sometimes cause tsunamis, which may lead to loss of life and destruction of prop... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_(natural_phenomenon) |
On CDs (a practice that continues today), a section of varying size is taken out of the spine of the jewel case and its paper track listing. Other methods of cutting CDs include punching a hole through the UPC and clipping a corner off of the front insert.

In many versions of GNU diff, each range can omit the comma and trailing value s, in which case s defaults to 1. Note that the only really interesting value is the l line number of the first range; all the other values can be computed from the diff. The hunk range for the original should be the sum of all contextual an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diff_utility |
A number of bivalve molluscs (other than true oysters and pearl oysters) also have common names that include the word "oyster", usually because they either taste like or look somewhat like true oysters, or because they yield noticeable pearls. Examples include: Thorny oysters in the genus Spondylus Pilgrim oyster, anot... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster_bed |
