https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high%20vacuum | Ultra-high vacuum (often spelled ultrahigh in American English, UHV) is the vacuum regime characterised by pressures lower than about . UHV conditions are created by pumping the gas out of a UHV chamber. At these low pressures the mean free path of a gas molecule is greater than approximately 40 km, so the gas is in fr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planimeter | A planimeter, also known as a platometer, is a measuring instrument used to determine the area of an arbitrary two-dimensional shape.
Construction
There are several kinds of planimeters, but all operate in a similar way. The precise way in which they are constructed varies, with the main types of mechanical planimete... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single%20instruction%2C%20single%20data | In computing, single instruction stream, single data stream (SISD) is a computer architecture in which a single uni-core processor executes a single instruction stream, to operate on data stored in a single memory. This corresponds to the von Neumann architecture.
SISD is one of the four main classifications as define... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional%20Fourier%20transform | In mathematics, in the area of harmonic analysis, the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is a family of linear transformations generalizing the Fourier transform. It can be thought of as the Fourier transform to the n-th power, where n need not be an integer — thus, it can transform a function to any intermediate doma... |

Its objective is to provide an effective system for plant variety protection. It does so by defining a blueprint regulation to b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant%20breeders%27%20rights | Plant breeders' rights (PBR), also known as plant variety rights (PVR), are rights granted in certain places to the breeder of a new variety of plant that give the breeder exclusive control over the propagating material (including seed, cuttings, divisions, tissue culture) and harvested material (cut flowers, fruit, fo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance%20and%20contravariance%20%28computer%20science%29 | Many programming language type systems support subtyping. For instance, if the type is a subtype of , then an expression of type should be substitutable wherever an expression of type is used.
Variance is how subtyping between more complex types relates to subtyping between their components. For example, how should... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigory%20Margulis | Grigory Aleksandrovich Margulis (, first name often given as Gregory, Grigori or Gregori; born February 24, 1946) is a Russian-American mathematician known for his work on lattices in Lie groups, and the introduction of methods from ergodic theory into diophantine approximation. He was awarded a Fields Medal in 1978, a... |
