https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds-averaged%20Navier%E2%80%93Stokes%20equations | The Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations (RANS equations) are time-averaged
equations of motion for fluid flow. The idea behind the equations is Reynolds decomposition, whereby an instantaneous quantity is decomposed into its time-averaged and fluctuating quantities, an idea first proposed by Osborne Reynolds. The... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand%20paradox%20%28probability%29 | The Bertrand paradox is a problem within the classical interpretation of probability theory. Joseph Bertrand introduced it in his work Calcul des probabilités (1889), as an example to show that the principle of indifference may not produce definite, well-defined results for probabilities if it is applied uncritically w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy | Autophagy (or autophagocytosis; from the Ancient Greek , , meaning "self-devouring" and , , meaning "hollow") is the natural, conserved degradation of the cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components through a lysosome-dependent regulated mechanism. It allows the orderly degradation and recycling of cellul... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amagat%27s%20law | Amagat's law or the law of partial volumes describes the behaviour and properties of mixtures of ideal (as well as some cases of non-ideal) gases. It is of use in chemistry and thermodynamics. It is named after Emile Amagat.
Overview
Amagat's law states that the extensive volume V = Nv of a gas mixture is equal to th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymyxin | Polymyxins are antibiotics. Polymyxins B and E (also known as colistin) are used in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections. They work mostly by breaking up the bacterial cell membrane. They are part of a broader class of molecules called nonribosomal peptides.
They are produced in nature by Gram-positiv... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte%20Carlo%20algorithm | In computing, a Monte Carlo algorithm is a randomized algorithm whose output may be incorrect with a certain (typically small) probability. Two examples of such algorithms are the Karger–Stein algorithm and the Monte Carlo algorithm for minimum feedback arc set.
The name refers to the Monte Carlo casino in the Princip... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crested%20shelduck | The crested shelduck (Tadorna cristata), or Korean crested shelduck, is a species of bird in the family Anatidae. It is critically endangered and may be extinct. The male crested shelduck has a greenish-black crown, breast, primaries, and tail, while the rest of its face, chin, and throat are brownish black. The male's... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photorefractive%20effect | The photorefractive effect is a nonlinear optical effect seen in certain crystals and other materials that respond to light by altering their refractive index.
The effect can be used to store temporary, erasable holograms and is useful for holographic data storage.
It can also be used to create a phase-conjugate mirror... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanopore | A nanopore is a pore of nanometer size. It may, for example, be created by a pore-forming protein or as a hole in synthetic materials such as silicon or graphene.
When a nanopore is present in an electrically insulating membrane, it can be used as a single-molecule detector. It can be a biological protein channel in ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke | Stroke is a medical condition in which poor blood flow to the brain causes cell death. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Both cause parts of the brain to stop functioning properly.
Signs and symptoms of stroke may include an inability to move or ... |
