https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoculture%20%28computer%20science%29 | In computer science, a monoculture is a community of computers that all run identical software. All the computer systems in the community thus have the same vulnerabilities, and, like agricultural monocultures, are subject to catastrophic failure in the event of a successful attack.
Overview
With the global trend of ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon%27s%20theorem | In Euclidean geometry, Varignon's theorem holds that the midpoints of the sides of an arbitrary quadrilateral form a parallelogram, called the Varignon parallelogram. It is named after Pierre Varignon, whose proof was published posthumously in 1731.
Theorem

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral%20modeling%20synthesis | Spectral modeling synthesis (SMS) is an acoustic modeling approach for speech and other signals.
SMS considers sounds as a combination of harmonic content and noise content. Harmonic components are identified based on peaks in the frequency spectrum of the signal, normally as found by the short-time Fourier transform.... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software%20studies | Software studies is an emerging interdisciplinary research field, which studies software systems and their social and cultural effects. The implementation and use of software has been studied in recent fields such as cyberculture, Internet studies, new media studies, and digital culture, yet prior to software studies, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic%20rest%E2%80%93activity%20cycle | The basic rest–activity cycle (BRAC) is a physiological arousal mechanism in humans proposed by Nathaniel Kleitman, hypothesized to occur during both sleep and wakefulness.
Empirically, it is an ultradian rhythm of approximately 90 minutes (80–120 minutes) characterized by different levels of excitement and rest. The... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced%20homomorphism | In mathematics, especially in algebraic topology, an induced homomorphism is a homomorphism derived in a canonical way from another map. For example, a continuous map from a topological space X to a topological space Y induces a group homomorphism from the fundamental group of X to the fundamental group of Y.
