https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleanroom%20suit | A cleanroom suit, clean room suit, or bunny suit, is an overall garment worn in a cleanroom, an environment with a controlled level of contamination. One common type is an all-in-one coverall worn by semiconductor and nanotechnology line production workers, technicians, and process / equipment engineers. Similar garmen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information%20gain%20%28decision%20tree%29 | In information theory and machine learning, information gain is a synonym for Kullback–Leibler divergence; the amount of information gained about a random variable or signal from observing another random variable. However, in the context of decision trees, the term is sometimes used synonymously with mutual informatio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkin%20Medal | The Perkin Medal is an award given annually by the Society of Chemical Industry (American Section) to a scientist residing in America for an "innovation in applied chemistry resulting in outstanding commercial development." It is considered the highest honor given in the US chemical industry.
The Perkin Medal was firs... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagoras%20tree%20%28fractal%29 | The Pythagoras tree is a plane fractal constructed from squares. Invented by the Dutch mathematics teacher Albert E. Bosman in 1942, it is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras because each triple of touching squares encloses a right triangle, in a configuration traditionally used to depict the Pythago... |

Medicine and biology
Acute viral meningitis, inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, caused by a viral infection
Arteriovenous malformation, a congenital disorder of the veins and arteries that make up the vascular system
Cerebral arteriovenous malformation, an ab... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game%20physics | Computer animation physics or game physics are laws of physics as they are defined within a simulation or video game, and the programming logic used to implement these laws. Game physics vary greatly in their degree of similarity to real-world physics. Sometimes, the physics of a game may be designed to mimic the phy... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravidity%20and%20parity | In biology and medicine, gravidity and parity are the number of times a female has been pregnant (gravidity) and carried the pregnancies to a viable gestational age (parity). These two terms are usually coupled, sometimes with additional terms, to indicate more details of the female's obstetric history. When using thes... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture%20%28biology%29 | In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium. This action is called subculturing or passaging the cells. Subculturing is used to prolong the lifespan and/or increase the number of cells or microor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room%20synchronization | The room synchronization technique is a form of concurrency control in computer science.
The room synchronization problem involves supporting a set of m mutually exclusive "rooms" where any number of users can execute code simultaneously in a shared room (any one of them), but no two users can simultaneously execute c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme%20MacDonald | Graeme Patrick David MacDonald (30 July 1930 – 30 September 1997), sometimes credited as Graeme McDonald or Graham McDonald, was a British television producer and executive.
Early life
MacDonald was educated at St Paul's School, London and Jesus College, Cambridge, where he initially studied geology and physics, but ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency%20semantics | In computer science, concurrency semantics is a way to give meaning to concurrent systems in a mathematically rigorous way. Concurrency semantics is often based on mathematical theories of concurrency such as various process calculi, the actor model, or Petri nets.
A more detailed account of concurrency semantics is g... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider%20diagram | In mathematics, a unitary spider diagram adds existential points to an Euler or a Venn diagram. The points indicate the existence of an attribute described by the intersection of contours in the Euler diagram. These points may be joined forming a shape like a spider. Joined points represent an "or" condition, also know... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graded%20poset | In mathematics, in the branch of combinatorics, a graded poset is a partially-ordered set (poset) P equipped with a rank function ρ from P to the set N of all natural numbers. ρ must satisfy the following two properties:
The rank function is compatible with the ordering, meaning that for all x and y in the order, if ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table%20of%20Clebsch%E2%80%93Gordan%20coefficients | This is a table of Clebsch–Gordan coefficients used for adding angular momentum values in quantum mechanics. The overall sign of the coefficients for each set of constant , , is arbitrary to some degree and has been fixed according to the Condon–Shortley and Wigner sign convention as discussed by Baird and Biedenharn.... |
