https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor%20V | Factor V (pronounced factor five) is a protein of the coagulation system, rarely referred to as proaccelerin or labile factor. In contrast to most other coagulation factors, it is not enzymatically active but functions as a cofactor. Deficiency leads to predisposition for hemorrhage, while some mutations (most notably ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor%20XI | Factor XI or plasma thromboplastin antecedent is the zymogen form of factor XIa, one of the enzymes of the coagulation cascade. Like many other coagulation factors, it is a serine protease. In humans, Factor XI is encoded by the F11 gene.
Function
Factor XI (FXI) is produced by the liver and circulates as a homo-di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral%20rehydration%20therapy | Oral rehydration therapy (ORT) is a type of fluid replacement used to prevent and treat dehydration, especially due to diarrhea. It involves drinking water with modest amounts of sugar and salts, specifically sodium and potassium. Oral rehydration therapy can also be given by a nasogastric tube. Therapy should routinel... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipolar%20neuron | A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body. Multipolar neurons constitute the majority of neurons in the centra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast%20wavelet%20transform | The fast wavelet transform is a mathematical algorithm designed to turn a waveform or signal in the time domain into a sequence of coefficients based on an orthogonal basis of small finite waves, or wavelets. The transform can be easily extended to multidimensional signals, such as images, where the time domain is repl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiazole | Thiazole, or 1,3-thiazole, is a 5-membered heterocyclic compound that contains both sulfur and nitrogen. The term 'thiazole' also refers to a large family of derivatives. Thiazole itself is a pale yellow liquid with a pyridine-like odor and the molecular formula C3H3NS. The thiazole ring is notable as a component of t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian%20Global%20Almanac | The Canadian Global Almanac is a Canadian reference book containing a large collection of facts and statistics. It grew out of the American World Almanac and Book of Facts when in 1986 an all-Canadian version was published, edited by John Filion and published by Susan Yates. John Robert Columbo later became its edito... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active-set%20method | In mathematical optimization, the active-set method is an algorithm used to identify the active constraints in a set of inequality constraints. The active constraints are then expressed as equality constraints, thereby transforming an inequality-constrained problem into a simpler equality-constrained subproblem.
An o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance%20swap | A variance swap is an over-the-counter financial derivative that allows one to speculate on or hedge risks associated with the magnitude of movement, i.e. volatility, of some underlying product, like an exchange rate, interest rate, or stock index.
One leg of the swap will pay an amount based upon the realized varianc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic%20membrane | An artificial membrane, or synthetic membrane, is a synthetically created membrane which is usually intended for separation purposes in laboratory or in industry. Synthetic membranes have been successfully used for small and large-scale industrial processes since the middle of twentieth century. A wide variety of synth... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psyco | Psyco is an unmaintained specializing just-in-time compiler for pre-2.7 Python originally developed by Armin Rigo and further maintained and developed by Christian Tismer. Development ceased in December, 2011.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contorsion%20tensor | The contorsion tensor in differential geometry is the difference between a connection with and without torsion in it. It commonly appears in the study of spin connections. Thus, for example, a vielbein together with a spin connection, when subject to the condition of vanishing torsion, gives a description of Einstein ... |
