In biotechnology, combinatorial biology is the creation of a large number of compounds (usually proteins or peptides) through technologies such as phage display. Similar to combinatorial chemistry, compounds are produced by biosynthesis rather than organic chemistry. This process was developed independently by Richard ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locally%20normal%20space
In mathematics, particularly topology, a topological space X is locally normal if intuitively it looks locally like a normal space. More precisely, a locally normal space satisfies the property that each point of the space belongs to a neighbourhood of the space that is normal under the subspace topology. Formal defin...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residuated%20mapping
In mathematics, the concept of a residuated mapping arises in the theory of partially ordered sets. It refines the concept of a monotone function. If A, B are posets, a function f: A → B is defined to be monotone if it is order-preserving: that is, if x ≤ y implies f(x) ≤ f(y). This is equivalent to the condition tha...
