https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarankiewicz%20problem | The Zarankiewicz problem, an unsolved problem in mathematics, asks for the largest possible number of edges in a bipartite graph that has a given number of vertices and has no complete bipartite subgraphs of a given size. It belongs to the field of extremal graph theory, a branch of combinatorics, and is named after th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization-division%20multiple%20access | Polarization-division multiple access (PDMA) is a channel access method used in some cellular networks and broadcast satellite services. Separate antennas are used in this type, each with different polarization and followed by separate receivers, allowing simultaneous regional access of satellites.
Each corresponding ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware%20security%20module | A hardware security module (HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages secrets (most importantly digital keys), performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in car... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denitrifying%20bacteria | Denitrifying bacteria are a diverse group of bacteria that encompass many different phyla. This group of bacteria, together with denitrifying fungi and archaea, is capable of performing denitrification as part of the nitrogen cycle. Denitrification is performed by a variety of denitrifying bacteria that are widely dist... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building%20science | Building science is the science and technology-driven collection of knowledge in order to provide better indoor environmental quality (IEQ), energy-efficient built environments, and occupant comfort and satisfaction. Building physics, architectural science, and applied physics are terms used for the knowledge domain t... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating%20factorial | In mathematics, an alternating factorial is the absolute value of the alternating sum of the first n factorials of positive integers.
This is the same as their sum, with the odd-indexed factorials multiplied by −1 if n is even, and the even-indexed factorials multiplied by −1 if n is odd, resulting in an alternation o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylogenomics | Phylogenomics is the intersection of the fields of evolution and genomics. The term has been used in multiple ways to refer to analysis that involves genome data and evolutionary reconstructions. It is a group of techniques within the larger fields of phylogenetics and genomics. Phylogenomics draws information by compa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implementation%20of%20mathematics%20in%20set%20theory | This article examines the implementation of mathematical concepts in set theory. The implementation of a number of basic mathematical concepts is carried out in parallel in ZFC (the dominant set theory) and in NFU, the version of Quine's New Foundations shown to be consistent by R. B. Jensen in 1969 (here understood to... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory%20bandwidth | Memory bandwidth is the rate at which data can be read from or stored into a semiconductor memory by a processor. Memory bandwidth is usually expressed in units of bytes/second, though this can vary for systems with natural data sizes that are not a multiple of the commonly used 8-bit bytes.
Memory bandwidth that is ... |
