https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s%20exponential%20function%20problem | In model theory, Tarski's exponential function problem asks whether the theory of the real numbers together with the exponential function is decidable. Alfred Tarski had previously shown that the theory of the real numbers (without the exponential function) is decidable.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Support%20of%20a%20module | In commutative algebra, the support of a module M over a commutative ring A is the set of all prime ideals of A such that (that is, the localization of M at is not equal to zero). It is denoted by . The support is, by definition, a subset of the spectrum of A.
Properties
if and only if its support is empty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular%20risk%20assessment | Molecular risk assessment is a procedure in which biomarkers (for example, biological molecules or changes in tumor cell DNA) are used to estimate a person's risk for developing cancer. Specific biomarkers may be linked to particular types of cancer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baily%E2%80%93Borel%20compactification | In mathematics, the Baily–Borel compactification is a compactification of a quotient of a Hermitian symmetric space by an arithmetic group, introduced by .
Example
If C is the quotient of the upper half plane by a congruence subgroup of SL2(Z), then the Baily–Borel compactification of C is formed by adding a finite n... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMViC | The IMViC tests are a group of individual tests used in microbiology lab testing to identify an organism in the coliform group. A coliform is a gram negative, aerobic, or facultative anaerobic rod, which produces gas from lactose within 48 hours. The presence of some coliforms indicate fecal contamination.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinal%20analysis | In proof theory, ordinal analysis assigns ordinals (often large countable ordinals) to mathematical theories as a measure of their strength.
If theories have the same proof-theoretic ordinal they are often equiconsistent, and if one theory has a larger proof-theoretic ordinal than another it can often prove the consis... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonrecursive%20ordinal | In mathematics, particularly set theory, non-recursive ordinals are large countable ordinals greater than all the recursive ordinals, and therefore can not be expressed using recursive ordinal notations.
