https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-density%20modulation
Pulse-density modulation, or PDM, is a form of modulation used to represent an analog signal with a binary signal. In a PDM signal, specific amplitude values are not encoded into codewords of pulses of different weight as they would be in pulse-code modulation (PCM); rather, the relative density of the pulses correspo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley%20symmetric%20function
In mathematics and especially in algebraic combinatorics, the Stanley symmetric functions are a family of symmetric functions introduced by in his study of the symmetric group of permutations. Formally, the Stanley symmetric function Fw(x1, x2, ...) indexed by a permutation w is defined as a sum of certain fundamen...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral%20of%20the%20secant%20function
In calculus, the integral of the secant function can be evaluated using a variety of methods and there are multiple ways of expressing the antiderivative, all of which can be shown to be equivalent via trigonometric identities, This formula is useful for evaluating various trigonometric integrals. In particular, it ca...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%20trisection
In geometry, a square trisection is a type of dissection problem which consists of cutting a square into pieces that can be rearranged to form three identical squares. History The dissection of a square in three congruent partitions is a geometrical problem that dates back to the Islamic Golden Age. Craftsman who ma...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated%2024-cell%20honeycomb
In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the truncated 24-cell honeycomb is a uniform space-filling honeycomb. It can be seen as a truncation of the regular 24-cell honeycomb, containing tesseract and truncated 24-cell cells. It has a uniform alternation, called the snub 24-cell honeycomb. It is a snub from the constr...

The Saddam Line consisted of defensive fortifications constructed by Saddam Hussein's Iraqi Army on Kuwait's border with Saudi Arabia after Iraq had invaded and occupied Kuwait in August 1990. The Western media presented fears that it would present a formidable obstacle to the liberation of Kuwait, consisting of "flam...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodevirion
The term kodecyte is used to describe cells with detectable Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) constructs, and in concert, the term kodevirion (pronounced co-da-virion), is used to describe virions with detectable FSL constructs. The method for labeling virions with FSL constructs is simple, non covalent and only involves in...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigorous%20coupled-wave%20analysis
Rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) is a semi-analytical method in computational electromagnetics that is most typically applied to solve scattering from periodic dielectric structures. It is a Fourier-space method so devices and fields are represented as a sum of spatial harmonics. Floquet's theorem The method is ...

The surname Smith, as a taxonomic authority, may refer to any of a number of people across a variety of disciplines. Determining which person is intended generally requires looking at initials in addition to the surname, and in some cases to the field and dates for which the authority is cited. Generally Andrew Smith...
