A hypervariable region (HVR) is a location within nuclear DNA or the D-loop of mitochondrial DNA in which base pairs of nucleotides repeat (in the case of nuclear DNA) or have substitutions (in the case of mitochondrial DNA). Changes or repeats in the hypervariable region are highly polymorphic. Mitochondrial There a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecoprovince
An ecoprovince is a biogeographic unit smaller than an ecozone that contains one or more ecoregions. According to Demarchi (1996), an ecoprovince encompasses areas of uniform climate, geological history and physiography (i.e. mountain ranges, large valleys, plateaus). Their size and broad internal uniformity make them ...

Microsoft Exchange Hosted Services, also known as FrontBridge, is an email filtering system owned by Microsoft. It was acquired in 2005 from Frontbridge Inc. FrontBridge Technologies began in 2000 as Bigfish Communications in Marina del Rey, California. The service is sold directly and through partnership with Sprint...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-order%20hold
First-order hold (FOH) is a mathematical model of the practical reconstruction of sampled signals that could be done by a conventional digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and an analog circuit called an integrator. For FOH, the signal is reconstructed as a piecewise linear approximation to the original signal that was s...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorph
An isomorph is an organism that does not change in shape during growth. The implication is that its volume is proportional to its cubed length, and its surface area to its squared length. This holds for any shape it might have; the actual shape determines the proportionality constants. The reason why the concept is im...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definable%20set
In mathematical logic, a definable set is an n-ary relation on the domain of a structure whose elements satisfy some formula in the first-order language of that structure. A set can be defined with or without parameters, which are elements of the domain that can be referenced in the formula defining the relation. Defi...

Logic Control is a control surface originally designed by Emagic in cooperation with Mackie. History Logic Control was designed by Emagic as a dedicated control surface for their Logic digital audio workstation software. It was manufactured by Mackie, but distributed by Emagic. About 6 months later, Mackie introduce...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V1-morph
An V1-morph is an organism that changes in shape during growth such that its surface area is proportional to its volume. In most cases both volume and surface area are proportional to length The reason the concept is important in the context of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory is that food (substrate) uptake is propor...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V0-morph
A V0-morph is an organism whose surface area remains constant as the organism grows. The reason why the concept is important in the context of the Dynamic Energy Budget theory is that food (substrate) uptake is proportional to surface area, and maintenance to volume. The surface area that is of importance is that part...

GRE Subject Biochemistry, Cell and Molecular Biology was a standardized exam provided by ETS (Educational Testing Service) that was discontinued in December 2016. It is a paper-based exam and there are no computer-based versions of it. ETS places this exam three times per year: once in April, once in October and once i...
