https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse%20migration%20%28immunology%29
Within molecular and cell biology, reverse migration is the phenomenon in which some neutrophils migrate away from the inflammation site, against the chemokine gradient, during inflammation resolution. The activation of in vivo inflammatory pathways (such as hypoxia-inducible factor, HIF), altered this behavior of reve...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eta%20invariant
In mathematics, the eta invariant of a self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a compact manifold is formally the number of positive eigenvalues minus the number of negative eigenvalues. In practice both numbers are often infinite so are defined using zeta function regularization. It was introduced by who used ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartshorne%20ellipse
In mathematics, a Hartshorne ellipse is an ellipse in the unit ball bounded by the 4-sphere S4 such that the ellipse and the circle given by intersection of its plane with S4 satisfy the Poncelet condition that there is a triangle with vertices on the circle and edges tangent to the ellipse. They were introduced by , w...

In computing and parallel processing, memory semantics refers to the process logic used to control access to shared memory locations, or at a higher level to shared variables in the presence of multiple threads or processors. Memory semantics may also be defined for transactional memory, where issues related to the in...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof%20compression
In proof theory, an area of mathematical logic, proof compression is the problem of algorithmically compressing formal proofs. The developed algorithms can be used to improve the proofs generated by automated theorem proving tools such as SAT solvers, SMT-solvers, first-order theorem provers and proof assistants. Prob...
