In other words, f is a group homomorphism (for the underly... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel%20iAPX%20432 | The iAPX 432 (Intel Advanced Performance Architecture) is a discontinued computer architecture introduced in 1981. It was Intel's first 32-bit processor design. The main processor of the architecture, the general data processor, is implemented as a set of two separate integrated circuits, due to technical limitations a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color%20Graphics%20Adapter | The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA), originally also called the Color/Graphics Adapter or IBM Color/Graphics Monitor Adapter, introduced in 1981, was IBM's first color graphics card for the IBM PC and established a de facto computer display standard.
Hardware design
The original IBM CGA graphics card was built around the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycosylation | Glycosylation is the reaction in which a carbohydrate (or 'glycan'), i.e. a glycosyl donor, is attached to a hydroxyl or other functional group of another molecule (a glycosyl acceptor) in order to form a glycoconjugate. In biology (but not always in chemistry), glycosylation usually refers to an enzyme-catalysed react... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data%20striping | In computer data storage, data striping is the technique of segmenting logically sequential data, such as a file, so that consecutive segments are stored on different physical storage devices.
Striping is useful when a processing device requests data more quickly than a single storage device can provide it. By spreadi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program%20derivation | In computer science, program derivation is the derivation of a program from its specification, by mathematical means.
To derive a program means to write a formal specification, which is usually non-executable, and then apply mathematically correct rules in order to obtain an executable program satisfying that specific... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skipjack%20%28cipher%29 | In cryptography, Skipjack is a block cipher—an algorithm for encryption—developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). Initially classified, it was originally intended for use in the controversial Clipper chip. Subsequently, the algorithm was declassified.
History of Skipjack
Skipjack was proposed as the encryp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendre%20transform%20%28integral%20transform%29 | In mathematics, Legendre transform is an integral transform named after the mathematician Adrien-Marie Legendre, which uses Legendre polynomials as kernels of the transform. Legendre transform is a special case of Jacobi transform.
The Legendre transform of a function is
The inverse Legendre transform is given by

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color%20histogram | In image processing and photography, a color histogram is a representation of the distribution of colors in an image. For digital images, a color histogram represents the number of pixels that have colors in each of a fixed list of color ranges, that span the image's color space, the set of all possible colors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-oscillation | Self-oscillation is the generation and maintenance of a periodic motion by a source of power that lacks any corresponding periodicity. The oscillator itself controls the phase with which the external power acts on it. Self-oscillators are therefore distinct from forced and parametric resonators, in which the power that... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric%20hashing | In computer science, geometric hashing is a method for efficiently finding two-dimensional objects represented by discrete points that have undergone an affine transformation, though extensions exist to other object representations and transformations. In an off-line step, the objects are encoded by treating each pair ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stiffness | Stiffness is the extent to which an object resists deformation in response to an applied force.
The complementary concept is flexibility or pliability: the more flexible an object is, the less stiff it is.
Calculations
The stiffness, of a body is a measure of the resistance offered by an elastic body to deformation.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscalar | In linear algebra, a pseudoscalar is a quantity that behaves like a scalar, except that it changes sign under a parity inversion while a true scalar does not.
A pseudoscalar, when multiplied by an ordinary vector, becomes a pseudovector (or axial vector); a similar construction creates the pseudotensor.
A pseudoscalar... |
