https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows%20Presentation%20Foundation | Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a free and open-source graphical subsystem (similar to WinForms) originally developed by Microsoft for rendering user interfaces in Windows-based applications. WPF, previously known as "Avalon", was initially released as part of .NET Framework 3.0 in 2006. WPF uses DirectX and a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch%20detection%20algorithm | A pitch detection algorithm (PDA) is an algorithm designed to estimate the pitch or fundamental frequency of a quasiperiodic or oscillating signal, usually a digital recording of speech or a musical note or tone. This can be done in the time domain, the frequency domain, or both.
PDAs are used in various contexts (e.g... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designer%20baby | A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected or altered, often to exclude a particular gene or to remove genes associated with disease. This process usually involves analysing a wide range of human embryos to identify genes associated with particular diseases and characteristics, and selecting embry... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanger%20sequencing | Sanger sequencing is a method of DNA sequencing that involves electrophoresis and is based on the random incorporation of chain-terminating dideoxynucleotides by DNA polymerase during in vitro DNA replication. After first being developed by Frederick Sanger and colleagues in 1977, it became the most widely used sequenc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptobiosis | Cryptobiosis or anabiosis is a metabolic state in extremophilic organisms in response to adverse environmental conditions such as desiccation, freezing, and oxygen deficiency. In the cryptobiotic state, all measurable metabolic processes stop, preventing reproduction, development, and repair. When environmental conditi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction%20digest | A restriction digest is a procedure used in molecular biology to prepare DNA for analysis or other processing. It is sometimes termed DNA fragmentation, though this term is used for other procedures as well. In a restriction digest, DNA molecules are cleaved at specific restriction sites of 4-12 nucleotides in length ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%201/f%20noise | Quantum 1/f noise is an intrinsic and fundamental part of quantum mechanics. Fighter pilots, photographers, and scientists all appreciate the higher quality of images and signals resulting from the consideration of quantum 1/f noise. Engineers have battled unwanted 1/f noise since 1925, giving it poetic names (such a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse%20isotropy | A transversely isotropic material is one with physical properties that are symmetric about an axis that is normal to a plane of isotropy. This transverse plane has infinite planes of symmetry and thus, within this plane, the material properties are the same in all directions. Hence, such materials are also known as "po... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAST%20tool | CAST tools are software applications used in the process of software testing. The acronym stands for "Computer Aided Software Testing". Such tools are available from various vendors and there are different tools for different types of testing, as well as for test management. They are known to be cost-effective and time... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%20Lightweight%20Third-Party%20Authentication | Lightweight Third-Party Authentication (LTPA), is an authentication technology used in IBM WebSphere and Lotus Domino products. When accessing web servers that use the LTPA technology it is possible for a web user to re-use their login across physical servers.
A Lotus Domino server or an IBM WebSphere server that is c... |
