https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjoint%20bundle
In mathematics, an adjoint bundle is a vector bundle naturally associated to any principal bundle. The fibers of the adjoint bundle carry a Lie algebra structure making the adjoint bundle into a (nonassociative) algebra bundle. Adjoint bundles have important applications in the theory of connections as well as in gaug...

In mathematics, the infinite series is a simple example of an alternating series that converges absolutely. It is a geometric series whose first term is and whose common ratio is −, so its sum is Hackenbush and the surreals A slight rearrangement of the series reads The series has the form of a positive integer p...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal%20s6%20kinase
In molecular biology, ribosomal s6 kinase (rsk) is a family of protein kinases involved in signal transduction. There are two subfamilies of rsk, p90rsk, also known as MAPK-activated protein kinase-1 (MAPKAP-K1), and p70rsk, also known as S6-H1 Kinase or simply S6 Kinase. There are three variants of p90rsk in humans,...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin%20boundary%20condition
In mathematics, the Robin boundary condition (; properly ), or third type boundary condition, is a type of boundary condition, named after Victor Gustave Robin (1855–1897). When imposed on an ordinary or a partial differential equation, it is a specification of a linear combination of the values of a function and t...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotide
In biochemistry, cyclotides are small, disulfide-rich peptides isolated from plants. Typically containing 28-37 amino acids, they are characterized by their head-to-tail cyclised peptide backbone and the interlocking arrangement of their three disulfide bonds. These combined features have been termed the cyclic cysti...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helion%20%28chemistry%29
A helion (symbol h) is the nucleus of a helium atom, a doubly positively charged cation. The term helion is a portmanteau of helium and ion, and in practice refers specifically to the nucleus of the helium-3 isotope, consisting of two protons and one neutron. The nucleus of the other stable isotope of helium, helium-4,...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecton%20%28physics%29
Ectons are explosive electron emissions observed as individual packets or avalanches of electrons, occurring as microexplosions at the cathode. The electron current in an ecton starts flowing as a result of overheating of the metal cathode because of the high energy density (104Jg−1), and stops when the emission zone c...
