The geographic position of the Indian subcontinent makes its biodiversity important for the study of the early dispersal of anatomically ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta%20divisor
In mathematics, the theta divisor Θ is the divisor in the sense of algebraic geometry defined on an abelian variety A over the complex numbers (and principally polarized) by the zero locus of the associated Riemann theta-function. It is therefore an algebraic subvariety of A of dimension dim A − 1. Classical theory C...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizable%20vacuum
In theoretical physics, particularly fringe physics, polarizable vacuum (PV) and its associated theory refers to proposals by Harold Puthoff, Robert H. Dicke, and others to develop an analogue of general relativity to describe gravity and its relationship to electromagnetism. Description In essence, Dicke and Puthof...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poromechanics
Poromechanics is a branch of physics and specifically continuum mechanics and acoustics that studies the behaviour of fluid-saturated porous media. A porous medium or a porous material is a solid referred to as matrix) permeated by an interconnected network of pores (voids) filled with a fluid (liquid or gas). Usually ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threading%20%28protein%20sequence%29
In molecular biology, protein threading, also known as fold recognition, is a method of protein modeling which is used to model those proteins which have the same fold as proteins of known structures, but do not have homologous proteins with known structure. It differs from the homology modeling method of structure pre...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grothendieck%E2%80%93Katz%20p-curvature%20conjecture
In mathematics, the Grothendieck–Katz p-curvature conjecture is a local-global principle for linear ordinary differential equations, related to differential Galois theory and in a loose sense analogous to the result in the Chebotarev density theorem considered as the polynomial case. It is a conjecture of Alexander Gro...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems%20biomedicine
Systems biomedicine, also called systems biomedical science, is the application of systems biology to the understanding and modulation of developmental and pathological processes in humans, and in animal and cellular models. Whereas systems biology aims at modeling exhaustive networks of interactions (with the long-ter...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass%20flow%20%28life%20sciences%29
In the life sciences, mass flow, also known as mass transfer and bulk flow, is the movement of fluids down a pressure or temperature gradient. As such, mass flow is a subject of study in both fluid dynamics and biology. Examples of mass flow include blood circulation and transport of water in vascular plant tissues. Ma...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%20ideal%20theorem
In mathematics, the principal ideal theorem of class field theory, a branch of algebraic number theory, says that extending ideals gives a mapping on the class group of an algebraic number field to the class group of its Hilbert class field, which sends all ideal classes to the class of a principal ideal. The phenomeno...
