The cave is approximately 500 m long, and 62 m deep. The lower 19–20 m of the cave are below water level. The cave formed at a time when the sea level was lower; as the sea level rose, many ca... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second%20derivative | In calculus, the second derivative, or the second-order derivative, of a function is the derivative of the derivative of . Informally, the second derivative can be phrased as "the rate of change of the rate of change"; for example, the second derivative of the position of an object with respect to time is the instanta... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection%20theorem | In algebraic number theory, a reflection theorem or Spiegelungssatz (German for reflection theorem – see Spiegel and Satz) is one of a collection of theorems linking the sizes of different ideal class groups (or ray class groups), or the sizes of different isotypic components of a class group. The original example is ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proth%27s%20theorem | In number theory, Proth's theorem is a primality test for Proth numbers.
It states that if p is a Proth number, of the form k2n + 1 with k odd and k < 2n, and if there exists an integer a for which
then p is prime. In this case p is called a Proth prime. This is a practical test because if p is prime, any chosen a ha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acutance | In photography, acutance describes a subjective perception of sharpness that is related to the edge contrast of an image. Acutance is related to the amplitude of the derivative of brightness with respect to space. Due to the nature of the human visual system, an image with higher acutance appears sharper even though an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum%20of%20normally%20distributed%20random%20variables | In probability theory, calculation of the sum of normally distributed random variables is an instance of the arithmetic of random variables.
This is not to be confused with the sum of normal distributions which forms a mixture distribution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal/MT%2B | Pascal/MT+ was an ISO 7185 compatible Pascal compiler written in 1980 by Michael Lehman, founder of MT MicroSYSTEMS of Solana Beach, California. The company was acquired by Digital Research in 1981 which subsequently distributed versions that ran on the 8080/Z80 processor under the CP/M operating system. Later version... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU%20Pascal | GNU Pascal (GPC) is a Pascal compiler composed of a frontend to GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), similar to the way Fortran and other languages were added to GCC. GNU Pascal is ISO 7185 compatible, and it implements most of the ISO 10206 Extended Pascal standard.
The major advantage of piggybacking GNU Pascal on the GCC... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apelin | Apelin (also known as APLN) is a peptide that in humans is encoded by the APLN gene. Apelin is one of two endogenous ligands for the G-protein-coupled APJ receptor that is expressed at the surface of some cell types. It is widely expressed in various organs such as the heart, lung, kidney, liver, adipose tissue, gastro... |

A derivative of azulene, guaiazulene is a bicyclic sesquiterpene that is a constituent of some essential oils, mainly oil of guaiac and chamomile oil, which also serve as its commercial sources. Various soft corals also... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landau%20prime%20ideal%20theorem | In algebraic number theory, the prime ideal theorem is the number field generalization of the prime number theorem. It provides an asymptotic formula for counting the number of prime ideals of a number field K, with norm at most X.
