Terminal cisternae are enlarged areas of the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounding the transverse tubules. Function Terminal cisternae are discrete regions within the muscle cell. They store calcium (increasing the capacity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium) and release it when an action potential courses...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCDMOS
BCDMOS is a complex circuit composed of Bipolar, CMOS and LDMOS devices. BCDMOS technology allows to drive discrete high voltage components (several hundred of operating voltage) at high frequency while keeping high integration with technology nodes down to 40 nm or 22 nm. Many applications still use process node of 0...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spurious%20trip%20level
Spurious trip level (STL) is defined as a discrete level for specifying the spurious trip requirements of safety functions to be allocated to safety systems. An STL of 1 means that this safety function has the highest level of spurious trips. The higher the STL level the lower the number of spurious trips caused by the...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eigenvector%20slew
In aerospace engineering, especially those areas dealing with spacecraft, the eigenvector slew is a method to calculate a steering correction (called a slew) by rotating the spacecraft around one fixed axis, or a gimbal. This corresponds in general to the fastest and most efficient way to reach the desired target orie...

Reading is the process of taking in the sense or meaning of letters, symbols, etc., especially by sight or touch. For educators and researchers, reading is a multifaceted process involving such areas as word recognition, orthography (spelling), alphabetics, phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, comprehension, fluen...

Video magazines are a series of online videos that follow the print magazine format in which the reader/viewer consumes an issue on a periodic basis. Video magazines differ from traditional online magazine or ezine because they are delivered in a video format and are consumed through viewing online rather than reading ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conductor%20%28ring%20theory%29
In ring theory, a branch of mathematics, the conductor is a measurement of how far apart a commutative ring and an extension ring are. Most often, the larger ring is a domain integrally closed in its field of fractions, and then the conductor measures the failure of the smaller ring to be integrally closed. The condu...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georelational%20data%20model
A georelational data model is a geographic data model that represents geographic features as an interrelated set of spatial and attribute data. The georelational model was the dominant form of vector file format during the 1980s and 1990s, including the Esri coverage and Shapefile. History The second era in the hist...

In mathematics, the Selberg integral is a generalization of Euler beta function to n dimensions introduced by Atle Selberg. Selberg's integral formula When , we have Selberg's formula implies Dixon's identity for well poised hypergeometric series, and some special cases of Dyson's conjecture. This is a corollary of ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer%20analysis
In geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis, buffer analysis is the determination of a zone around a geographic feature containing locations that are within a specified distance of that feature, the buffer zone (or just buffer). A buffer is likely the most commonly used tool within the proximity analys...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20model%20%28GIS%29
A geographic data model, geospatial data model, or simply data model in the context of geographic information systems, is a mathematical and digital structure for representing phenomena over the Earth. Generally, such data models represent various aspects of these phenomena by means of geographic data, including spatia...
