https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoRR%20hypothesis | The CoRR hypothesis states that the location of genetic information in cytoplasmic organelles permits regulation of its expression by the reduction-oxidation ("redox") state of its gene products.
CoRR is short for "co-location for redox regulation", itself a shortened form of "co-location (of gene and gene product) fo... |

He is a consultant on financial derivatives, an author of a primary book on using Mathematica to model financial derivatives, formerly co-Editor-in-Chief of the jo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-bracing | X-bracing is a structural engineering practice where the lateral load on a building is reduced by transferring the load into the exterior columns.
X-bracing was used in the construction of the 1908 Singer Building, then the tallest building in the world.
Some skyscrapers by engineer Fazlur Khan, such as the 1969 Joh... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air%20data%20boom | An air data boom provides air pressure, temperature, and airflow direction data to data acquisition systems for the computation of air, ground, and water vehicle orientation, speed, altitude/depth, and related information. Air data booms can be used as primary sensors or as a "measurement standard" of which primary sen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial%20anaerobic%20corrosion | Bacterial anaerobic corrosion is the bacterially-induced oxidation of metals. Corrosion of metals typically alters the metal to a form that is more stable. Thus, bacterial anaerobic corrosion typically occurs in conditions favorable to the corrosion of the underlying substrate. In humid, anoxic conditions the corrosion... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected%20area | Projected area is the two
dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress, wind pressures, and terminal velocity.
