https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batch%20Enhancer | BATCH ENHANCER (or BE) (or BE.EXE,) is an applet or free-standing utility packaged with Norton Utilities (NU) to graphically enhance the presentation of batch files. Batch Enhancer allows the use of colours, square graphics, delays, beeps, more complex decision parameters, easier to create user-choice menus and other f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council%20on%20Disaster%20Reduction | The Council on Disaster Reduction, or CDR, is one of the 12 technical councils and divisions of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
Purpose
The purpose of the ASCE Council on Disaster Reduction is to develop goals and guide actions for ASCE's role in hazard mitigation and disaster reduction by fostering ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor%20rank%20decomposition | In multilinear algebra, the tensor rank decomposition or the decomposition of a tensor is the decomposition of a tensor in terms of a sum of minimum tensors. This is an open problem.
Canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) is a variant of the rank decomposition which computes the best fitting terms for a user s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPLS-TP | In telecommunications, Multiprotocol Label Switching - Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is a variant of the MPLS protocol that is used in packet switched data networks. MPLS-TP is the product of a joint Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) / International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohno%27s%20law | Ohno's law was proposed by a Japanese-American biologist Susumu Ohno, saying that the gene content of the mammalian species has been conserved over species not only in the DNA content but also in the genes themselves. That is, nearly all mammalian species have conserved the X chromosome from their primordial X chromoso... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midbody%20%28cell%20biology%29 | The midbody is a transient structure found in mammalian cells and is present near the end of cytokinesis just prior to the complete separation of the dividing cells. The structure was first described by Walther Flemming in 1891.
Structure
The midbody structure contains bundles of microtubules derived from the mitoti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor%20reshaping | In multilinear algebra, a reshaping of tensors is any bijection between the set of indices of an order- tensor and the set of indices of an order- tensor, where . The use of indices presupposes tensors in coordinate representation with respect to a basis. The coordinate representation of a tensor can be regarded as a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioreporter | Bioreporters are intact, living microbial cells that have been genetically engineered to produce a measurable signal in response to a specific chemical or physical agent in their environment. Bioreporters contain two essential genetic elements, a promoter gene and a reporter gene. The promoter gene is turned on (tran... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera%20trap | A camera trap is a camera that is automatically triggered by a change in some activity in its vicinity, like the presence of an animal or a human being. It is typically equipped with a motion sensor – usually a passive infrared (PIR) sensor or an active infrared (AIR) sensor using an infrared light beam.
Camera trappi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical%20economics | Mathematical economics is the application of mathematical methods to represent theories and analyze problems in economics. Often, these applied methods are beyond simple geometry, and may include differential and integral calculus, difference and differential equations, matrix algebra, mathematical programming, or oth... |
