https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spawning%20networks | Spawning networks are a new class of programmable networks that automate the life cycle process for the creation, deployment, and management of network architecture. These networks are capable of spawning distinct child virtual networks with their own transport, control, and management systems. This definition is creat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Course%20%28architecture%29 | A course is a layer of the same unit running horizontally in a wall. It can also be defined as a continuous row of any masonry unit such as bricks, concrete masonry units (CMU), stone, shingles, tiles, etc.
Coursed masonry construction arranges units in regular courses. Oppositely, coursed rubble masonry construction ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing%20domain | In computer networking, a routing domain is a collection of networked systems that operate common routing protocols and are under the control of a single administration. For example, this might be a set of routers under the control of a single organization, some of them operating a corporate network, some others a bran... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectica%20space | Dialectica spaces are a categorical way of constructing models of linear logic.
They were introduced by Valeria de Paiva, Martin Hyland's student, in her doctoral thesis, as a way of modeling both linear logic and Gödel's Dialectica interpretation—hence the name.
Given a category C and a specific object K of C with ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20the%20transistor | A transistor is a semiconductor device with at least three terminals for connection to an electric circuit. In the common case, the third terminal controls the flow of current between the other two terminals. This can be used for amplification, as in the case of a radio receiver, or for rapid switching, as in the case ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive%20programming | In computing, reactive programming is a declarative programming paradigm concerned with data streams and the propagation of change. With this paradigm, it's possible to express static (e.g., arrays) or dynamic (e.g., event emitters) data streams with ease, and also communicate that an inferred dependency within the ass... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance%20and%20Robustness | Compliance and Robustness, sometimes abbreviated as C&R, refers to the legal structure or regime underlying a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. In many cases, the C&R regime for a given DRM is provided by the same company that sells the DRM solution. For example, RealNetworks Helix or Microsoft Windows Media DRM.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girt | In architecture or structural engineering, a girt, also known as a sheeting rail, is a horizontal structural member in a framed wall. Girts provide lateral support to the wall panel, primarily to resist wind loads.
A comparable element in roof construction is a purlin.
Stability in steel building construction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar%20Car%20Challenge | The Solar Car Challenge is an annual solar-powered car race for high school students. The event attracts teams from around the world, but mostly from American high schools. The race was first held in 1995. Each event is the end product of a two-year education cycle launched by the Winston Solar Car Team. On odd-numbere... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antenna%20effect | The antenna effect, more formally plasma induced gate oxide damage, is an effect that can potentially cause yield and reliability problems during the manufacture of MOS integrated circuits. Factories (fabs) normally supply antenna rules, which are rules that must be obeyed to avoid this problem. A violation of such r... |
