https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultraviolet%20fixed%20point | In a quantum field theory, one may calculate an effective or running coupling constant that defines the coupling of the theory measured at a given momentum scale. One example of such a coupling constant is the electric charge.
In approximate calculations in several quantum field theories, notably quantum electrodynami... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pod%20slurping | Pod slurping is the act of using a portable data storage device such as an iPod digital audio player to illicitly download large quantities of confidential data by directly plugging it into a computer where the data are held, and which may be on the inside of a firewall.
There has been some work in the development of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinkerbell%20map | The Tinkerbell map is a discrete-time dynamical system given by:
Some commonly used values of a, b, c, and d are
Like all chaotic maps, the Tinkerbell Map has also been shown to have periods; after a certain number of mapping iterations any given point shown in the map to the right will find itself once again at its ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTEC | UTEC (University of Toronto Electronic Computer Mark I) was a computer built at the University of Toronto (UofT) in the early 1950s. It was the first computer in Canada, one of the first working computers in the world, although only built in a prototype form while awaiting funding for expansion into a full-scale versio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeronym | A numeronym is a number-based word.
Anne H. Soukhanov, editor of the Microsoft Encarta College Dictionary, gives the original meaning of the term as "a telephone number that spells a word or a name" on a telephone dial/numpad.
A number may also denote how many times the character before or after it is repeated. This ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremal%20combinatorics | Extremal combinatorics is a field of combinatorics, which is itself a part of mathematics. Extremal combinatorics studies how large or how small a collection of finite objects (numbers, graphs, vectors, sets, etc.) can be, if it has to satisfy certain restrictions.
Much of extremal combinatorics concerns classes of se... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parapatric%20speciation | In parapatric speciation, two subpopulations of a species evolve reproductive isolation from one another while continuing to exchange genes. This mode of speciation has three distinguishing characteristics: 1) mating occurs non-randomly, 2) gene flow occurs unequally, and 3) populations exist in either continuous or di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massey%20product | In algebraic topology, the Massey product is a cohomology operation of higher order introduced in , which generalizes the cup product. The Massey product was created by William S. Massey, an American algebraic topologist.
Massey triple product
Let be elements of the cohomology algebra of a differential graded algeb... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATM%20%28computer%29 | The ATM Turbo (ru: "АТМ-ТУРБО"), also known simply as ATM (from ru: "Ассоциация Творческой Молодёжи", meaning "Association of Creative Youth") is a ZX Spectrum clone, developed in Moscow in 1991, by two firms, MicroArt and ATM.
It offers enhanced characteristics, compared to the original Spectrum, such as a , RAM, R... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling%20and%20blasting | Drilling and blasting is the controlled use of explosives and other methods, such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics, to break rock for excavation. It is practiced most often in mining, quarrying and civil engineering such as dam, tunnel or road construction. The result of rock blasting is often known as a rock cut.... |
