The Flowers of the Four Seasons ()are a group of flowers found in Chinese culture then spreaded and influenced into East Asian arts. In Chinese art and culture which represent the four seasons, consisting of: (春兰) Chūnlán - Spring Orchid, (夏荷) Xiahé - Summer Lotus, (秋菊) Qiūjú - Autumn Chrysanthemum, and (冬梅) Dō...

Victor "Vic" Poor (July 12, 1933 – August 17, 2012) was an American engineer and computer pioneer. At Computer Terminal Corporation (later renamed Datapoint Corporation), he co-created the architecture that was ultimately implemented in the first successful computer microprocessor, the Intel 8008. Subsequently, Compute...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption%20lattice
A subsumption lattice is a mathematical structure used in the theoretical background of automated theorem proving and other symbolic computation applications. Definition A term t1 is said to subsume a term t2 if a substitution σ exists such that σ applied to t1 yields t2. In this case, t1 is also called more general t...

The Charcoal Kilns near Eureka, Utah were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. The listing included two charcoal kilns that each are about six feet in diameter and four feet deep, built out of stone. They are believed to have been built or used to support the Wyoming Smelter in 1871. See also ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigidity%20matroid
In the mathematics of structural rigidity, a rigidity matroid is a matroid that describes the number of degrees of freedom of an undirected graph with rigid edges of fixed lengths, embedded into Euclidean space. In a rigidity matroid for a graph with n vertices in d-dimensional space, a set of edges that defines a subg...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rota%27s%20conjecture
Rota's excluded minors conjecture is one of a number of conjectures made by the mathematician Gian-Carlo Rota. It is considered an important problem by some members of the structural combinatorics community. Rota conjectured in 1971 that, for every finite field, the family of matroids that can be represented over that ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera%20Valor
The Vera Valor is a dual digital and physical gold currency of one troy ounce with no face value other than that of one ounce of "four nine" purity fine gold. The reverse side of the coin is particular by its embedded QR code which allows for digital liquidity. History The coin was privately developed in France and re...

In German-speaking countries, the miner's toolset is known as a Gezähe (derived from gizouuun, zu zawen, gezawen – to be usable, advantageous) formerly also abbreviated to Gezäh. It is a set of personally-owned mining tools and equipment needed by the miner in his daily work. In coal mining in central Europe during th...

The PanCam (Panoramic Camera) assembly is a set of two wide angle cameras for multi-spectral stereoscopic panoramic imaging, and a high resolution camera for colour imaging that has been designed to search for textural information or shapes that can be related to the presence of microorganisms on Mars. This camera asse...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamoon
Shamoon (), also known as W32.DistTrack, is a modular computer virus that was discovered in 2012, targeting then-recent 32-bit NT kernel versions of Microsoft Windows. The virus was notable due to the destructive nature of the attack and the cost of recovery. Shamoon can spread from an infected machine to other compute...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive%20systems
Positive systems constitute a class of systems that has the important property that its state variables are never negative, given a positive initial state. These systems appear frequently in practical applications, as these variables represent physical quantities, with positive sign (levels, heights, concentrations, et...
