https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set-theoretic%20definition%20of%20natural%20numbers | In set theory, several ways have been proposed to construct the natural numbers. These include the representation via von Neumann ordinals, commonly employed in axiomatic set theory, and a system based on equinumerosity that was proposed by Gottlob Frege and by Bertrand Russell.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moor%27s%20head | A Moor's head, since the 11th century, is a symbol depicting the head of a black moor.
Origin
The precise origin of the Moor's head is a subject of controversy. The most likely explanation is that it is derived from the heraldic war flag of the Reconquista depicting the Cross of Alcoraz, symbolizing Peter I of Aragon... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontend%20and%20backend | In software engineering, the terms frontend and backend (sometimes written as back end or back-end) refer to the separation of concerns between the presentation layer (frontend), and the data access layer (backend) of a piece of software, or the physical infrastructure or hardware. In the client–server model, the clien... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIVAC%20Solid%20State | The UNIVAC Solid State was a magnetic drum-based solid-state computer announced by Sperry Rand in December 1958 as a response to the IBM 650. It was one of the first computers offered for sale to be (nearly) entirely solid-state, using 700 transistors, and 3000 magnetic amplifiers (FERRACTOR) for primary logic, and 20... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge%20of%20chaos | The edge of chaos is a transition space between order and disorder that is hypothesized to exist within a wide variety of systems. This transition zone is a region of bounded instability that engenders a constant dynamic interplay between order and disorder.
Even though the idea of the edge of chaos is an abstract one... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GLORIAD | GLORIAD (Global Ring Network for Advanced Application Development) is a high-speed computer network used to connect scientific organizations in Russia, China, United States, the Netherlands, Korea and Canada. India, Singapore, Vietnam, and Egypt were added in 2009.
GLORIAD is sponsored by the US National Science Foun... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability%20amplitude | In quantum mechanics, a probability amplitude is a complex number used for describing the behaviour of systems. The modulus squared of this quantity represents a probability density.
Probability amplitudes provide a relationship between the quantum state vector of a system and the results of observations of that syste... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer%20amplifier | A buffer amplifier (sometimes simply called a buffer) is one that provides electrical impedance transformation from one circuit to another, with the aim of preventing the signal source from being affected by whatever currents (or voltages, for a current buffer) that the load may impose. The signal is 'buffered from' lo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical%20orthogonal%20functions | In statistics and signal processing, the method of empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis is a decomposition of a signal or data set in terms of orthogonal basis functions which are determined from the data. The term is also interchangeable with the geographically weighted Principal components analysis in geophy... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message%20queue | In computer science, message queues and mailboxes are software-engineering components typically used for inter-process communication (IPC), or for inter-thread communication within the same process. They use a queue for messaging – the passing of control or of content. Group communication systems provide similar kinds... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-oriented%20middleware | Message-oriented middleware (MOM) is software or hardware infrastructure supporting sending and receiving messages between distributed systems. MOM allows application modules to be distributed over heterogeneous platforms and reduces the complexity of developing applications that span multiple operating systems and net... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet%20culture | Internet culture is a quasi-underground culture developed and maintained among frequent and active users of the Internet (netizens or digital citizens) who primarily communicate with one another online as members of online communities; that is, a culture whose influence is "mediated by computer screens" and Information... |
