https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellmann%E2%80%93Feynman%20theorem
In quantum mechanics, the Hellmann–Feynman theorem relates the derivative of the total energy with respect to a parameter to the expectation value of the derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to that same parameter. According to the theorem, once the spatial distribution of the electrons has been determined by sol...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%20number
The Weber number (We) is a dimensionless number in fluid mechanics that is often useful in analysing fluid flows where there is an interface between two different fluids, especially for multiphase flows with strongly curved surfaces. It is named after Moritz Weber (1871–1951). It can be thought of as a measure of the r...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthinuria
Xanthinuria, also known as xanthine oxidase deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder causing the accumulation of xanthine. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. It was first formally characterized in 1954. Presentation Affected people have unusually high concentrations of xanthine in their blood ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplosome
In cell biology, a diplosome refers to the pair of centrioles which are arranged perpendicularly to one another located near the nucleus. The diplosome plays a role in many processes such as in primary cilium development, spermiogenesis of teleosts, and mitosis. The rigid arrangement of centrioles in a diplosome is gen...

In mathematics, the convergence condition by Courant–Friedrichs–Lewy is a necessary condition for convergence while solving certain partial differential equations (usually hyperbolic PDEs) numerically. It arises in the numerical analysis of explicit time integration schemes, when these are used for the numerical soluti...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melezitose
Melezitose, also spelled melicitose, is a nonreducing trisaccharide sugar that is produced by many plant sap eating insects, including aphids such as Cinara pilicornis, by an enzyme reaction. This is beneficial to the insects, as it reduces the stress of osmosis by reducing their own water potential. The melezitose is ...
