Replacing early punched cards and paper tape technology, interaction via teleprinter-style keyboards have been the main input method for...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic%20genetic%20array
Synthetic genetic array analysis (SGA) is a high-throughput technique for exploring synthetic lethal and synthetic sick genetic interactions (SSL). SGA allows for the systematic construction of double mutants using a combination of recombinant genetic techniques, mating and selection steps. Using SGA methodology a quer...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic%20lethality
Synthetic lethality is defined as a type of genetic interaction where the combination of two genetic events results in cell death or death of an organism. Although the foregoing explanation is wider than this, it is common when referring to synthetic lethality to mean the situation arising by virtue of a combination of...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVI-838
The SVI-838, also known as X'press 16, is the last microcomputer produced by Spectravideo (at Hong Kong). Although it was a PC clone, it had the standard sound and video coprocessors of the MSX2, making it a hybrid system. The sales were unimpressive and it is now considered a collectible. With a SVI-811 adapter, the ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioPAX
BioPAX (Biological Pathway Exchange) is a RDF/OWL-based standard language to represent biological pathways at the molecular and cellular level. Its major use is to facilitate the exchange of pathway data. Pathway data captures our understanding of biological processes, but its rapid growth necessitates development of d...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinate-free
A coordinate-free, or component-free, treatment of a scientific theory or mathematical topic develops its concepts on any form of manifold without reference to any particular coordinate system. Benefits Coordinate-free treatments generally allow for simpler systems of equations and inherently constrain certain types o...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant%20current
A constant current (steady current, time-independent current, stationary current) is a type of direct current (DC) that does not change its intensity with time. Sources If the load is constant, a steady current can be obtained via a constant voltage source. If the load is varying, a steady current can be obtained vi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software%20ecosystem
Software Ecosystem is a book written by David G. Messerschmitt and Clemens Szyperski that explains the essence and effects of a "software ecosystem", defined as a set of businesses functioning as a unit and interacting with a shared market for software and services, together with relationships among them. These relatio...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous%20emissions%20monitoring%20system
Continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) are used as a tool to monitor the effluent gas streams resulting from combustion in industrial processes. CEMS can measure flue gas for oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide to provide information for combustion control in industrial settings. They are also used as a m...
