https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio%20equipment%20testing | Audio equipment testing is the measurement of audio quality through objective and/or subjective means. The results of such tests are published in journals, magazines, whitepapers, websites, and in other media.
Those who test and evaluate equipment can be roughly divided into two groups: "Objectivists", who believe tha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADP-ribosylation | ADP-ribosylation is the addition of one or more ADP-ribose moieties to a protein. It is a reversible post-translational modification that is involved in many cellular processes, including cell signaling, DNA repair, gene regulation and apoptosis.
Improper ADP-ribosylation has been implicated in some forms of cancer. It... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological%20resilience | In ecology, resilience is the capacity of an ecosystem to respond to a perturbation or disturbance by resisting damage and recovering quickly. Such perturbations and disturbances can include stochastic events such as fires, flooding, windstorms, insect population explosions, and human activities such as deforestation, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sextant%20%28astronomy%29 | In astronomy, sextants are devices depicting a sixth of a circle, used primarily for measuring the position of stars. There are two types of astronomical sextants, mural instruments and frame-based instruments.
They are of significant historical importance, but have been replaced over time by transit telescopes, other... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private%20VLAN | Private VLAN, also known as port isolation, is a technique in computer networking where a VLAN contains switch ports that are restricted such that they can only communicate with a given uplink. The restricted ports are called private ports. Each private VLAN typically contains many private ports, and a single uplink.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC-Forced%20Forwarding | MAC-Forced Forwarding (MACFF) is used to control unwanted broadcast traffic and host-to-host communication. This is achieved by directing network traffic from hosts located on the same subnet but at different locations to an upstream gateway device. This provides security at Layer 2 since no traffic is able to pass dir... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web%20of%20Science | The Web of Science (WoS; previously known as Web of Knowledge) is a paid-access platform that provides (typically via the internet) access to multiple databases that provide reference and citation data from academic journals, conference proceedings, and other documents in various academic disciplines. Until 1997, it wa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bochner%20identity | In mathematics — specifically, differential geometry — the Bochner identity is an identity concerning harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. The identity is named after the American mathematician Salomon Bochner.
Statement of the result
Let M and N be Riemannian manifolds and let u : M → N be a harmonic map. Let ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%20Sharing%20Operating%20System | Time Sharing Operating System, or TSOS, is a discontinued operating system for RCA mainframe computers of the Spectra 70 series. TSOS was originally designed in 1968 for the Spectra 70/46, a modified version of the 70/45. TSOS quickly evolved into the Virtual Memory Operating System (VMOS) by 1970. VMOS continued to b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furstenberg%27s%20proof%20of%20the%20infinitude%20of%20primes | In mathematics, particularly in number theory, Hillel Furstenberg's proof of the infinitude of primes is a topological proof that the integers contain infinitely many prime numbers. When examined closely, the proof is less a statement about topology than a statement about certain properties of arithmetic sequences. U... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-redundancy%20actuation | High-redundancy actuation (HRA) is a new approach to fault-tolerant control in the area of mechanical actuation.
Overview
The basic idea is to use a lot of small actuation elements, so that a fault of one element has only a minor effect on the overall system. This way, a High Redundancy Actuator can remain functional... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%20transfer%20upconversion | Energy Transfer Upconversion or ETU is a physical principle (most commonly encountered in solid-state laser physics) that involves the excitation of a laser-active ion to a level above that which would be achieved by simple absorption of a pump photon, the required additional energy being transferred from another laser... |
