https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological%20neuron%20model | Biological neuron models, also known as a spiking neuron models, are mathematical descriptions of neurons. In particular, these models describe how the voltage potential across the cell membrane changes over time. In an experimental setting, stimulating neurons with an electrical current generates an action potential ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoFR | Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) is a protocol to transfer voice over Frame Relay networks. VoFR uses two sub-protocols, FRF.11 and FRF.12. FRF.11 defines the frame format of VoFR, and FRF.12 is used for packet fragmentation and reassembly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Even%20and%20odd%20ordinals | In mathematics, even and odd ordinals extend the concept of parity from the natural numbers to the ordinal numbers. They are useful in some transfinite induction proofs.
The literature contains a few equivalent definitions of the parity of an ordinal α:
Every limit ordinal (including 0) is even. The successor of an e... |
