George V. Skrotskii (January 11, 1915 – July 13, 1992) was a Russian physicist. Skrotskii realized that electromagnetic field equations in a curved spacetime can be written in a non-covariant form formally equivalent to Maxwell's equations in a macroscopic medium in flat spacetime.

Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration an...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrorheological%20fluid
Electrorheological (ER) fluids are suspensions of extremely fine non-conducting but electrically active particles (up to 50 micrometres diameter) in an electrically insulating fluid. The apparent viscosity of these fluids changes reversibly by an order of up to 100,000 in response to an electric field. For example, a t...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear%20pump
A gear pump uses the meshing of gears to pump fluid by displacement. They are one of the most common types of pumps for hydraulic fluid power applications. The gear pump was invented around 1600 by Johannes Kepler. Gear pumps are also widely used in chemical installations to pump high-viscosity fluids. There are two ...

Digital Signal Designation is the classification of digital bit rates in the digital multiplex hierarchy used in transport of signals from one location to another in telecommunications. The DS technically refers to the rate and format of the signal, while the T designation refers to the equipment providing the signals...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highly%20cototient%20number
In number theory, a branch of mathematics, a highly cototient number is a positive integer which is above 1 and has more solutions to the equation than any other integer below and above 1. Here, is Euler's totient function. There are infinitely many solutions to the equation for = 1 so this value is excluded ...
