https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marina%20Ratner | Marina Evseevna Ratner (; October 30, 1938 – July 7, 2017) was a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley who worked in ergodic theory. Around 1990, she proved a group of major theorems concerning unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces, known as Ratner's theorems. Ratner was elected to the Amer... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonal%20and%20poloidal | In magnetic confinement fusion the zonal direction primarily connotes the poloidal direction (i.e. the short way around the torus), the corresponding coordinate being denoted by y in the slab approximation or θ in magnetic coordinates. However, in the fusion context, usage is restricted to the context of zonal plasma f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet%20%28mathematics%29 | In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subnet is a generalization of the concept of subsequence to the case of nets. The analogue of "subsequence" for nets is the notion of a "subnet". The definition is not completely straightforward, but is designed to allow as many theorems about subsequences to generalize ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther%20M.%20Conwell | Esther Marley Conwell (May 23, 1922 – November 16, 2014) was a pioneering American chemist and physicist, best known for the Conwell-Weisskopf theory that describes how electrons travel through semiconductors, a breakthrough that helped revolutionize modern computing. During her life, she was described as one of the mo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark%20%28broadcasting%29 | In broadcasting, a dark television station or silent radio station is one that has gone off the air for an indefinite period of time. Usually unlike dead air (broadcasting only silence), a station that is dark or silent does not even transmit a carrier signal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic%20function%20of%20a%20matrix | In mathematics, every analytic function can be used for defining a matrix function that maps square matrices with complex entries to square matrices of the same size.
This is used for defining the exponential of a matrix, which is involved in the closed-form solution of systems of linear differential equations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedding%20problem | In Galois theory, a branch of mathematics, the embedding problem is a generalization of the inverse Galois problem. Roughly speaking, it asks whether a given Galois extension can be embedded into a Galois extension in such a way that the restriction map between the corresponding Galois groups is given.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williot%20diagram | The Williot diagram is a graphical method to obtain an approximate value for displacement of a structure which submitted to a certain load. The method consists of, from a graph representation of a structural system, representing the structure's fixed vertices as a single, fixed starting point and from there sequentiall... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toroidal%20and%20poloidal%20coordinates | The terms toroidal and poloidal refer to directions relative to a torus of reference. They describe a three-dimensional coordinate system in which the poloidal direction follows a small circular ring around the surface, while the toroidal direction follows a large circular ring around the torus, encircling the central ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hop-by-hop%20transport | Hop-by-hop transport is a principle of controlling the flow of data in a network. With hop-by-hop transport, chunks of data are forwarded from node to node in a store-and-forward manner.
As hop-by-hop transport involves not only the source and destination node, but rather some or all of the intermediate nodes as well... |
