The tetramers used in the assay are made up of four major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, which are found on the surface ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable%20operation%20%28amateur%20radio%29 | Amateur radio operators take part in portable operations using radio equipment when traveling. "Portable" equipment indicates a configuration that allows for relatively rapid collection, transportation, and deployment of amateur radio gear. A portable station can be anything from a small QRP (Low Power) radio and anten... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupon-eligible%20converter%20box | A coupon-eligible converter box (CECB) was a digital television adapter that met eligibility specifications for subsidy "coupons" from the United States government. The subsidy program was enacted to provide terrestrial television viewers with an affordable way to continue receiving free digital terrestrial television... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber%20disk%20laser | A fiber disk laser is a fiber laser with transverse delivery of the pump light. They are characterized by the pump beam not being parallel to the active core of the optical fiber (as in a double-clad fiber), but directed to the coil of the fiber at an angle (usually, between 10 and 40 degrees). This allows use of the s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity%20gradiometry | Gravity gradiometry is the study of variations (anomalies) in the Earth's gravity field via measurements of the spatial gradient of gravitational acceleration. The gravity gradient tensor is a 3x3 tensor representing the partial derivatives, along each coordinate axis, of each of the three components of the acceleratio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge%20structure | In mathematics, a Hodge structure, named after W. V. D. Hodge, is an algebraic structure at the level of linear algebra, similar to the one that Hodge theory gives to the cohomology groups of a smooth and compact Kähler manifold. Hodge structures have been generalized for all complex varieties (even if they are singula... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced%20residue%20system | In mathematics, a subset R of the integers is called a reduced residue system modulo n if:
gcd(r, n) = 1 for each r in R,
R contains φ(n) elements,
no two elements of R are congruent modulo n.
Here φ denotes Euler's totient function.
A reduced residue system modulo n can be formed from a complete residue system modu... |

Census Austral. Pl., is a survey of the vascular flora of Australia prepared by Government botanist ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleocytosis | In medicine, pleocytosis (or pleiocytosis) is an increased cell count (from Greek pleion, "more"), particularly an increase in white blood cell count, in a bodily fluid, such as cerebrospinal fluid. It is often defined specifically as an increased white blood cell count in cerebrospinal fluid.
Increased white blood c... |
