Ludwig Boltzmann Prize The Ludwig Boltzmann Prize is awarded by the Austrian Physical Society and honors outstanding achievements in theoretical physics. It is named after the famous Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann.
Boltzmann equation The Boltzmann equation or Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) describes the statistical behaviour of a thermodynamic system not in a state of equilibrium, devised by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1872.
Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft The Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft (LBG) is an Austrian network of specialized research institutes that are not part of a university. It was founded in 1961 and named after physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. In 1999, the Ludwig Boltzmann Gesellschaft comprised 131 institutes in the fields of medicine, humanities and social sciences. After 2006, the number of institutes was greatly reduced.
Boltzmann brain A Boltzmann brain is a hypothesized self-aware entity that arises due to random fluctuations out of a state of chaos. The idea is named after the Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann (1844–1906), who advanced an idea that the Universe is observed to be in a highly improbable non-equilibrium state because only when such states randomly occur can brains exist to be aware of the Universe. The idea that a disembodied brain seems to require a smaller—hence more probable—fluctuation than intelligent beings similar to humans was proposed by in 1997, and the term for this idea was coined in 2004 by Andreas Albrecht and Lorenzo Sorbo.
Boltzmann constant The Boltzmann constant ("k" or k ), which is named after Ludwig Boltzmann, is a physical constant relating the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas. It is the gas constant R divided by the Avogadro constant "N" :
Boltzmann Medal The Boltzmann Medal (or Boltzmann Award) is the most important prize awarded to physicists that obtain new results concerning statistical mechanics; it is named after the celebrated physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. The Boltzmann Medal is awarded once every three years by the "Commission on Statistical Physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics", during the STATPHYS conference.
Stefan–Boltzmann constant The Stefan–Boltzmann constant (also Stefan's constant), a physical constant denoted by the Greek letter "σ" (sigma), is the constant of proportionality in the Stefan–Boltzmann law: "the total intensity radiated over all wavelengths increases as the temperature increases", of a black body which is proportional to the fourth power of the thermodynamic temperature. The theory of thermal radiation lays down the theory of quantum mechanics, by using physics to relate to molecular, atomic and sub-atomic levels. Slovenian physicist Josef Stefan formulated the constant in 1879, and it was later derived in 1884 by Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann. The equation can also be derived from Planck's Law, by integrating over all wavelengths at a given temperature, which will represent a small flat black body box. "The amount of thermal radiation emitted increases rapidly and the principal frequency of the radiation becomes higher with increasing temperatures". The Stefan–Boltzmann constant can be used to measure the amount of heat that is emitted by a blackbody, which absorbs all of the radiant energy that hits it, and will emit all the radiant energy. Furthermore, the Stefan–Boltzmann constant allows for temperature (K) to be converted to units for intensity (W m), which is power per unit area.

Solomon Northup Solomon Northup (July 10, 1807 or 1808 –  1863 ) was an American abolitionist and the primary author of the memoir "Twelve Years a Slave". A free-born African American from New York, he was the son of a freed slave and a free woman of color. A farmer and a professional violinist, Northup had been a landowner in Hebron, New York. In 1841, he was offered a traveling musician's job and went to Washington, D.C. (where slavery was legal); there he was drugged, kidnapped, and sold as a slave. He was shipped to New Orleans, purchased by a planter, and held as a slave for 12 years in the Red River region of Louisiana, mostly in Avoyelles Parish. He remained a slave until he met a Canadian working on his plantation who helped get word to New York, where state law provided aid to free New York citizens who had been kidnapped and sold into slavery. His family and friends enlisted the aid of the Governor of New York, Washington Hunt, and Northup regained his freedom on January 3, 1853.

Mahonia Mahonia is a genus of about 70 species of evergreen shrubs in the family Berberidaceae, native to eastern Asia, the Himalaya, North America, and Central America. They are closely related to the genus "Berberis". Botanists disagree on the acceptability of the genus name "Mahonia". Several authorities argue plants in this genus should be included in the genus "Berberis" because several species in both genera are able to hybridize, and because when the two genera are looked at as a whole, there is no consistent morphological separation except simple vs compound leaves. "Mahonia" typically have large, pinnate leaves 10–50 cm long with five to fifteen leaflets, and flowers in racemes which are 5–20 cm long.
Diplazium Diplazium is a genus of ferns that specifically includes the approximately 400 known species of twinsorus ferns. The Greek root is "diplazein" meaning "double": the indusia in this genus lie on both sides of the vein. These ferns were earlier considered part of either the Athyriaceae, Dryopteridaceae, Aspleniaceae, or Polypodiaceae families but are often recognized as belonging to their own taxonomic family. The taxonomy of the genus is difficult and poorly known, and by 2009 has never been the subject of a complete monographic study. Their distribution is pantropical, with a few species extending into temperate areas.
Berberis moranensis Berberis moranensis is a shrub in the genus "Berberis" in the family Berberidaceae. Because of its compound leaves, some botanists place it in the genus "Mahonia". It is native to forested regions of the mountains of Mexico from Sinaloa and Guanajuato to Oaxaca. "Berberis moranensis" has thick waxy leaves, yellow flowers, and purple berries. This species is closely related to "Berberis pimana"
List of Berberis and Mahonia species Berberis and Mahonia are two widespread and common members of the Berberidaceae, found in many countries. Botanists have for many years had no consensus on the classification, some preferring to treat the group as a single genus ("Berberis"), while others opt to separate the two groups into distinct genera. Therefore, many species have two scientific name, one in "Berberis", the other in "Mahonia", each used by botanists on one side the debate.
Berberis standleyi Berberis standleyi is a shrub in the Berberidaceae described as a species in 1952. It was published with the name "Mahonia glauca," a very different plant from "Berberis glauca." Thus if one desires to consider "Berberis" and "Mahonia" as one genus instead of two, it is necessary to use a different name, i.e. "Berberis standleyi".
