https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process%20management%20%28computing%29 | A process is a program in execution, and an integral part of any modern-day operating system (OS). The OS must allocate resources to processes, enable processes to share and exchange information, protect the resources of each process from other processes and enable synchronization among processes. To meet these require... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HUGO%20Gene%20Nomenclature%20Committee | The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) is a committee of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) that sets the standards for human gene nomenclature. The HGNC approves a unique and meaningful name for every known human gene, based on a query of experts. In addition to the name, which is usually 1 to 10 words long, th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase%20variation | In biology, phase variation is a method for dealing with rapidly varying environments without requiring random mutation. It involves the variation of protein expression, frequently in an on-off fashion, within different parts of a bacterial population. As such the phenotype can switch at frequencies that are much highe... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromechanical%20modeling | The purpose of electromechanical modeling is to model and simulate an electromechanical system, such that its physical parameters can be examined before the actual system is built. Parameter estimation utilizing different estimation theory coupled with physical experiments and physical realization by doing proper stabi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fexpr | In Lisp programming languages, a fexpr is a function whose operands are passed to it without being evaluated. When a fexpr is called, only the body of the fexpr is evaluated; no other evaluations take place except when explicitly initiated by the fexpr. In contrast, when an ordinary Lisp function is called, the operand... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load-loss%20factor | Load-loss factor (also loss load factor, LLF, or simply loss factor) is a dimensionless ratio between average and peak values of load loss (loss of electric power between the generator and the consumer in electricity distribution). Since the losses in the wires are proportional to the square of the current (and thus t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domatium | A domatium (plural: domatia, from the Latin "domus", meaning home) is a tiny chamber that houses arthropods, produced by a plant.
Ideally domatia differ from galls in that they are produced by the plant rather than being induced by their inhabitants, but the distinction is not sharp; the development of many types of d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requirements%20elicitation | In requirements engineering, requirements elicitation is the practice of researching and discovering the requirements of a system from users, customers, and other stakeholders. The practice is also sometimes referred to as "requirement gathering".
The term elicitation is used in books and research to raise the fact th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piezoelectric%20accelerometer | A piezoelectric accelerometer is an accelerometer that employs the piezoelectric effect of certain materials to measure dynamic changes in mechanical variables (e.g., acceleration, vibration, and mechanical shock).
As with all transducers, piezoelectrics convert one form of energy into another and provide an electrica... |
