https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydrogenation | In chemistry, dehydrogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen, usually from an organic molecule. It is the reverse of hydrogenation. Dehydrogenation is important, both as a useful reaction and a serious problem. At its simplest, it’s a useful way of converting alkanes, which are relativel... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most%20recent%20common%20ancestor | In biology and genetic genealogy, the most recent common ancestor (MRCA), also known as the last common ancestor (LCA), of a set of organisms is the most recent individual from which all the organisms of the set are descended. The term is also used in reference to the ancestry of groups of genes (haplotypes) rather tha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirplet%20transform | In signal processing, the chirplet transform is an inner product of an input signal with a family of analysis primitives called chirplets.
Similar to the wavelet transform, chirplets are usually generated from (or can be expressed as being from) a single mother chirplet (analogous to the so-called mother wavelet of wa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering%20amplitude | In quantum physics, the scattering amplitude is the probability amplitude of the outgoing spherical wave relative to the incoming plane wave in a stationary-state scattering process.
At large distances from the centrally symmetric scattering center, the plane wave is described by the wavefunction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Planiverse | The Planiverse is a novel by A. K. Dewdney, written in 1984.
Plot
In the spirit of Edwin Abbott Abbott's Flatland, Dewdney and his computer science students simulate a two-dimensional world with a complex ecosystem. To their surprise, they find their artificial 2D universe has somehow accidentally become a means of co... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutive%20equation | In physics and engineering, a constitutive equation or constitutive relation is a relation between two physical quantities (especially kinetic quantities as related to kinematic quantities) that is specific to a material or substance, and approximates the response of that material to external stimuli, usually as applie... |
