In molecular biology, the term double helix refers to the structure formed by double-stranded molecules of nucleic acids such as DNA. The double helical structure of a nucleic acid complex arises as a consequence of its secondary structure, and is a fundamental component in determining its tertiary structure. The term ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volterra%20integral%20equation
In mathematics, the Volterra integral equations are a special type of integral equations. They are divided into two groups referred to as the first and the second kind. A linear Volterra equation of the first kind is where f is a given function and x is an unknown function to be solved for. A linear Volterra equatio...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiff%20equation
In mathematics, a stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain numerical methods for solving the equation are numerically unstable, unless the step size is taken to be extremely small. It has proven difficult to formulate a precise definition of stiffness, but the main idea is that the equation includes ...

In early 20th century classification of African languages, Sudanic was a generic term for languages spoken in the Sahel belt, from Ethiopia in the east to Senegal in the west. Scope The grouping was based on geographic and loose typological grounds. One of its proponents was the German linguist Carl Meinhof. Meinhof h...

In mathematics, and in particular in the theory of solitons, the Dym equation (HD) is the third-order partial differential equation It is often written in the equivalent form for some function v of one space variable and time The Dym equation first appeared in Kruskal and is attributed to an unpublished paper b...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov%20microscales
In fluid dynamics, Kolmogorov microscales are the smallest scales in the turbulent flow of fluids. At the Kolmogorov scale, viscosity dominates and the turbulence kinetic energy is dissipated into thermal energy. They are defined by where is the average rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy per unit mass,...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COQ7
Mitochondrial 5-demethoxyubiquinone hydroxylase (DMQ hydroxylase), also known as coenzyme Q7, hydroxylase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the COQ7 gene. The clk-1 (clock-1) gene encodes this protein that is necessary for ubiquinone biosynthesis in the worm Caenorhabditis elegans and other eukaryotes. The m...

The Yamaha TX81Z is a rack-mounted (keyboard-less) frequency modulation (FM) music synthesizer, released in 1987. It is also known as a keyboard-less Yamaha DX11 (and the subsequent Yamaha V50 (music workstation)). Unlike previous FM synthesizers of the era, the TX81Z was the first to offer a range of oscillator wavefo...

The Abel polynomials are a sequence of polynomials named after Niels Henrik Abel, defined by the following equation: This polynomial sequence is of binomial type: conversely, every polynomial sequence of binomial type may be obtained from the Abel sequence using umbral calculus. Examples For , the polynomials are F...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia%20MFSK
Olivia MFSK is an amateur radioteletype protocol, using multiple frequency-shift keying (MFSK) and designed to work in difficult (low signal-to-noise ratio plus multipath propagation) conditions on shortwave bands. The signal can be accurately received even if the surrounding noise is 10 dB stronger. It is commonly use...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemic%20primary%20carnitine%20deficiency
Systemic primary carnitine deficiency (SPCD) is an inborn error of fatty acid transport caused by a defect in the transporter responsible for moving carnitine across the plasma membrane. Carnitine is an important amino acid for fatty acid metabolism. When carnitine cannot be transported into tissues, fatty acid oxidat...
