https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse%20invariance
Impulse invariance is a technique for designing discrete-time infinite-impulse-response (IIR) filters from continuous-time filters in which the impulse response of the continuous-time system is sampled to produce the impulse response of the discrete-time system. The frequency response of the discrete-time system will b...

Krakatoa is a modular explosive device used for explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) or demolitions developed by the British company Alford Technologies. The device is designed to fire a number of different projectiles, operates both in air and underwater, and can be used in a vertical or horizontal orientation. The devi...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage%20effect
The storage effect is a coexistence mechanism proposed in the ecological theory of species coexistence, which tries to explain how such a wide variety of similar species are able to coexist within the same ecological community or guild. The storage effect was originally proposed in the 1980s to explain coexistence in d...

A glossary of terms relating to systems theory. A Adaptive capacity: An important part of the resilience of systems in the face of a perturbation, helping to minimise loss of function in individual human, and collective social and biological systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SERCOS%20interface
In the field of Industrial Control Systems, the interfacing of various control components must provide means to coordinate the signals and commands sent between control modules. While tight coordination is desirable for discrete inputs and outputs, it is especially important in motion controls, where directing the mov...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaner%20fish
Cleaner fish are fish that show a specialist feeding strategy by providing a service to other species, referred to as clients, by removing dead skin, ectoparasites, and infected tissue from the surface or gill chambers. This example of cleaning symbiosis represents mutualism and cooperation behaviour, an ecological int...

In computer science and software engineering, Alloy is a declarative specification language for expressing complex structural constraints and behavior in a software system. Alloy provides a simple structural modeling tool based on first-order logic. Alloy is targeted at the creation of micro-models that can then be aut...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfauna
Microfauna (Ancient Greek mikros "small" + Neo-Latin fauna "animal") refers to microscopic animals and organisms that exhibit animal-like qualities. Microfauna are represented in the animal kingdom (e.g. nematodes, small arthropods) and the protist kingdom (i.e. protozoans). Habitat Microfauna are present in every ha...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microlithography
Microlithography is a general name for any manufacturing process that can create a minutely patterned thin film of protective materials over a substrate, such as a silicon wafer, in order to protect selected areas of it during subsequent etching, deposition, or implantation operations. The term is normally used for pr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implementation%20theory
Implementation theory is an area of research in game theory concerned with whether a class of mechanisms (or institutions) can be designed whose equilibrium outcomes implement a given set of normative goals or welfare criteria. There are two general types of implementation problems: the economic problem of producing a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie%20algebra%20bundle
In mathematics, a weak Lie algebra bundle is a vector bundle over a base space X together with a morphism which induces a Lie algebra structure on each fibre . A Lie algebra bundle is a vector bundle in which each fibre is a Lie algebra and for every x in X, there is an open set containing x, a Lie algebra L and ...
