https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British%20undergraduate%20degree%20classification | The British undergraduate degree classification system is a grading structure for undergraduate degrees or bachelor's degrees and integrated master's degrees in the United Kingdom. The system has been applied (sometimes with significant variations) in other countries and regions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary%20programming | Evolutionary programming is one of the four major evolutionary algorithm paradigms. It is similar to genetic programming, but the structure of the program to be optimized is fixed, while its numerical parameters are allowed to evolve.
It was first used by Lawrence J. Fogel in the US in 1960 in order to use simulated ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edna%20O%27Brien | Josephine Edna O'Brien (born 15 December 1930) is an Irish novelist, memoirist, playwright, poet and short-story writer. Elected to Aosdána by her fellow artists, she was honoured with the title Saoi in 2015 and the "UK and Ireland Nobel" David Cohen Prize in 2019, whilst France made her Commandeur de l'Ordre des Art... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative%20vector%20field | In vector calculus, a conservative vector field is a vector field that is the gradient of some function. A conservative vector field has the property that its line integral is path independent; the choice of any path between two points does not change the value of the line integral. Path independence of the line integr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incompressible%20flow | In fluid mechanics or more generally continuum mechanics, incompressible flow (isochoric flow) refers to a flow in which the material density is constant within a fluid parcel—an infinitesimal volume that moves with the flow velocity. An equivalent statement that implies incompressibility is that the divergence of the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Errors%20and%20residuals | In statistics and optimization, errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of an observed value of an element of a statistical sample from its "true value" (not necessarily observable). The error of an observation is the deviation of the observed value from the true value... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CASP | Critical Assessment of Structure Prediction (CASP), sometimes called Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction, is a community-wide, worldwide experiment for protein structure prediction taking place every two years since 1994. CASP provides research groups with an opportunity to objectively test their struct... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laplacian%20vector%20field | In vector calculus, a Laplacian vector field is a vector field which is both irrotational and incompressible. If the field is denoted as v, then it is described by the following differential equations:
From the vector calculus identity it follows that
that is, that the field v satisfies Laplace's equation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunel | Tunel or Tünel may refer to:
TUNEL assay (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling assay), in genetics, a method for detecting DNA fragmentation
Tunel (band), Yugoslav rock band
Tunel (railroad station), railroad station in Poland
Tünel, a historical underground funicular in Istanbul, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle%20in%20a%20one-dimensional%20lattice | In quantum mechanics, the particle in a one-dimensional lattice is a problem that occurs in the model of a periodic crystal lattice. The potential is caused by ions in the periodic structure of the crystal creating an electromagnetic field so electrons are subject to a regular potential inside the lattice. It is a gen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyculture | In agriculture, polyculture is the practice of growing more than one crop species in the same space, at the same time. In doing this, polyculture attempts to mimic the diversity of natural ecosystems. Polyculture is the opposite of monoculture, in which only one plant or animal species is cultivated together. Polycultu... |

Reciprocal of viscosity
Cognitive fluidity
Fluid intelligence
Membrane fluidity
Sexual fluidity

Fluidity (video game) |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen%20toxicity | Oxygen toxicity is a condition resulting from the harmful effects of breathing molecular oxygen () at increased partial pressures. Severe cases can result in cell damage and death, with effects most often seen in the central nervous system, lungs, and eyes. Historically, the central nervous system condition was called ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotka%E2%80%93Volterra%20equations | The Lotka–Volterra equations, also known as the Lotka–Volterra predator–prey model, are a pair of first-order nonlinear differential equations, frequently used to describe the dynamics of biological systems in which two species interact, one as a predator and the other as prey. The populations change through time accor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric%20signature | In mathematics, the signature of a metric tensor g (or equivalently, a real quadratic form thought of as a real symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space) is the number (counted with multiplicity) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of the real symmetric matrix of the metric tensor with res... |
