https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophoresis
Thermophoresis (also thermomigration, thermodiffusion, the Soret effect, or the Ludwig–Soret effect) is a phenomenon observed in mixtures of mobile particles where the different particle types exhibit different responses to the force of a temperature gradient. This phenomenon tends to move light molecules to hot region...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diphenyl%20diselenide
Diphenyl diselenide is the chemical compound with the formula (C6H5)2Se2, abbreviated Ph2Se2. This orange-coloured solid is the oxidized derivative of benzeneselenol. It is used as a source of the PhSe unit in organic synthesis. Preparation and properties Ph2Se2 is prepared by the oxidation of benzeneselenoate, the...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%27s%20method
In statistics, Fisher's method, also known as Fisher's combined probability test, is a technique for data fusion or "meta-analysis" (analysis of analyses). It was developed by and named for Ronald Fisher. In its basic form, it is used to combine the results from several independence tests bearing upon the same overal...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isocaudomer
Isocaudomers are pairs of restriction enzymes that have slightly different recognition sequences, but upon cleavage of DNA, generate identical overhanging termini sequences. These sequences can be ligated to one another, but then form an asymmetrical sequence that cannot be cleaved by a restriction enzyme. Examples F...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological%20censorship
The topological censorship theorem (if valid) states that general relativity does not allow an observer to probe the topology of spacetime: any topological structure collapses too quickly to allow light to traverse it. More precisely, in a globally hyperbolic, asymptotically flat spacetime satisfying the null energy co...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half%20sphere%20exposure
Half Sphere exposure (HSE) is a protein solvent exposure measure that was first introduced by . Like all solvent exposure measures it measures how buried amino acid residues are in a protein. It is found by counting the number of amino acid neighbors within two half spheres of chosen radius around the amino acid. The...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact%20number
In chemistry, a contact number (CN) is a simple solvent exposure measure that measures residue burial in proteins. The definition of CN varies between authors, but is generally defined as the number of either C or C atoms within a sphere around the C or C atom of the residue. The radius of the sphere is typically chos...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connected-component%20labeling
Connected-component labeling (CCL), connected-component analysis (CCA), blob extraction, region labeling, blob discovery, or region extraction is an algorithmic application of graph theory, where subsets of connected components are uniquely labeled based on a given heuristic. Connected-component labeling is not to be c...

The Gross–Pitaevskii equation (GPE, named after Eugene P. Gross and Lev Petrovich Pitaevskii) describes the ground state of a quantum system of identical bosons using the Hartree–Fock approximation and the pseudopotential interaction model. A Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) is a gas of bosons that are in the same quant...
