https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation%20rate | In genetics, the mutation rate is the frequency of new mutations in a single gene or organism over time. Mutation rates are not constant and are not limited to a single type of mutation; there are many different types of mutations. Mutation rates are given for specific classes of mutations. Point mutations are a class ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementarity%20%28physics%29 | In physics, complementarity is a conceptual aspect of quantum mechanics that Niels Bohr regarded as an essential feature of the theory. The complementarity principle holds that objects have certain pairs of complementary properties which cannot all be observed or measured simultaneously, for examples, position and mome... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase%20problem | In physics, the phase problem is the problem of loss of information concerning the phase that can occur when making a physical measurement. The name comes from the field of X-ray crystallography, where the phase problem has to be solved for the determination of a structure from diffraction data. The phase problem is al... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeomorphism%20group | In mathematics, particularly topology, the homeomorphism group of a topological space is the group consisting of all homeomorphisms from the space to itself with function composition as the group operation. Homeomorphism groups are very important in the theory of topological spaces and in general are examples of automo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleiber%27s%20law | Kleiber's law, named after Max Kleiber for his biology work in the early 1930s, is the observation that, for the vast majority of animals, an animal's metabolic rate scales to the power of the animal's mass. More recently, Kleiber's law has also been shown to apply in plants, suggesting that Kleiber's observation is m... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rarita%E2%80%93Schwinger%20equation | In theoretical physics, the Rarita–Schwinger equation is the
relativistic field equation of spin-3/2 fermions in a four-dimensional flat spacetime. It is similar to the Dirac equation for spin-1/2 fermions. This equation was first introduced by William Rarita and Julian Schwinger in 1941.
In modern notation it can be ... |

He specialised in the biology of flies, and wrote many books, especially popular science that helped entomology to reach a broader public. His The Natural History of Flies is considered to be the "fly Bible". Although his speciality was th... |

A team from the Depart... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grothendieck%E2%80%93Riemann%E2%80%93Roch%20theorem | In mathematics, specifically in algebraic geometry, the Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem is a far-reaching result on coherent cohomology. It is a generalisation of the Hirzebruch–Riemann–Roch theorem, about complex manifolds, which is itself a generalisation of the classical Riemann–Roch theorem for line bundles on co... |
