Some of these terms are related to each other in a hierarchical fashion. For example, the genome contains the ORFe...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmer%20fare%20register
The Ohmer fare register was, in various models, a mechanical device for registering and recording the fares of passengers on streetcars, buses and taxis in the early 20th century. It was invented and improved by members and employees of the Ohmer family of Dayton, Ohio, especially John F. Ohmer who founded the Ohmer F...

Real-time Adaptive Security is the network security model necessary to accommodate the emergence of multiple perimeters and moving parts on the network, and increasingly advanced threats targeting enterprises. Adaptive security can watch a network for malicious traffic and behavioral anomalies, ferret out end point vul...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BESYS
BESYS (Bell Operating System) was an early computing environment originally implemented as a batch processing operating system in 1957 at Bell Labs for the IBM 704 computer. Overview The system was developed because Bell recognized a "definite mismatch…between the 704's internal speed, the sluggishness of its on-line ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%20risk
In finance, model risk is the risk of loss resulting from using insufficiently accurate models to make decisions, originally and frequently in the context of valuing financial securities. However, model risk is more and more prevalent in activities other than financial securities valuation, such as assigning consumer c...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Range%20condition%20scoring
Range Condition Scoring was developed as a way to quantify biodiversity in a given rangeland system. This practice is widely used in the Sand Hills region of Nebraska, as well as the tallgrass prairie regions, as evidenced by the authoritative book on the subject, "Range Judging Handbook and Contest Guide for Nebraska....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property%20testing
In computer science, a property testing algorithm for a decision problem is an algorithm whose query complexity to its input is much smaller than the instance size of the problem. Typically property testing algorithms are used to distinguish if some combinatorial structure S (such as a graph or a boolean function) sat...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinitz%20exchange%20lemma
The Steinitz exchange lemma is a basic theorem in linear algebra used, for example, to show that any two bases for a finite-dimensional vector space have the same number of elements. The result is named after the German mathematician Ernst Steinitz. The result is often called the Steinitz–Mac Lane exchange lemma, also ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direction%20flag
The direction flag is a flag that controls the left-to-right or right-to-left direction of string processing, stored in the FLAGS register on all x86-compatible CPUs. It is bit number 10. This flag is used to determine the direction ('forward' or 'backward') in which several bytes of data will be copied from one plac...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microelectrode%20array
Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) (also referred to as multielectrode arrays) are devices that contain multiple (tens to thousands) microelectrodes through which neural signals are obtained or delivered, essentially serving as neural interfaces that connect neurons to electronic circuitry. There are two general classes of ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comment%20programming
Comment programming, also known as comment-driven development (CDD), is a (mostly) satirical software development technique that is heavily based on commenting out code. In comment programming, the comment tags are not used to describe what a certain piece of code is doing, but rather to stop some parts of the code fr...
