Alexander L'vovich Brudno () (10 January 1918 – 1 December 2009) was a Russian computer scientist, best known for fully describing the alpha-beta pruning algorithm. From 1991 until his death he lived in Israel. Biography Brudno developed the "mathematics/machine interface" for the M-2 computer constructed in 1952 at t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovomucoid
Ovomucoid is a protein found in egg whites. It is a trypsin inhibitor with three protein domains of the Kazal domain family. The homologs from chickens (Gallus gallus) and especially turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) are best characterized. It is not related to the similarly named ovomucin, another egg white protein. Chic...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCL14
Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 14 (CCL14) is a small cytokine belonging to the CC chemokine family. It is also commonly known as HCC-1. It is produced as a protein precursor that is processed to generate a mature active protein containing 74 amino acids that and is 46% identical in amino acid composition to CCL3 and CCL...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costamere
The costamere is a structural-functional component of striated muscle cells which connects the sarcomere of the muscle to the cell membrane (i.e. the sarcolemma). Costameres are sub-sarcolemmal protein assemblies circumferentially aligned in register with the Z-disk of peripheral myofibrils. They physically couple for...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubo
A bubo (Greek βουβών, boubṓn, 'groin') is adenitis or inflammation of the lymph nodes and is an example of reactive lymphadenopathy. Classification Buboes are a symptom of bubonic plague and occur as painful swellings in the thighs, neck, groin or armpits. They are caused by Yersinia pestis bacteria spreading from fl...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient%20of%20inbreeding
The coefficient of inbreeding of an individual is the probability that two alleles at any locus in an individual are identical by descent from the common ancestor(s) of the two parents. Calculation An individual is said to be inbred if there is a loop in its pedigree chart. A loop is defined as a path that runs from a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HL60
The HL-60 cell line is a human leukemia cell line that has been used for laboratory research on blood cell formation and physiology. HL-60 proliferates continuously in suspension culture in nutrient and antibiotic chemicals. The doubling time is about 36–48 hours. The cell line was derived from a 36-year-old woman wh...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability%20of%20default
Probability of default (PD) is a financial term describing the likelihood of a default over a particular time horizon. It provides an estimate of the likelihood that a borrower will be unable to meet its debt obligations. PD is used in a variety of credit analyses and risk management frameworks. Under Basel II, it is ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOLD%20%28parser%29
GOLD is a free parsing system that is designed to support multiple programming languages. Design The system uses a DFA for lexical analysis and the LALR algorithm for parsing. Both of these algorithms are state machines that use tables to determine actions. GOLD is designed around the principle of logically separatin...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition-driven%20scheduling
Transposition driven scheduling (TDS) is a load balancing algorithm for parallel computing. It was developed at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands as an algorithm to solve puzzles. The algorithm provides near-linear speedup with some problems and scales extremely well. It was published about by John R...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warnock%20algorithm
The Warnock algorithm is a hidden surface algorithm invented by John Warnock that is typically used in the field of computer graphics. It solves the problem of rendering a complicated image by recursive subdivision of a scene until areas are obtained that are trivial to compute. In other words, if the scene is simple ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal%20solver
A frontal solver is an approach to solving sparse linear systems which is used extensively in finite element analysis. Algorithms of this kind are variants of Gauss elimination that automatically avoids a large number of operations involving zero terms due to the fact that the matrix is only sparse. The development of ...
