The environment was self-configuring and directly bootable CD/DVD that turns any PC or laptop (provided it can boot from cdrom/DVD) into a Linux workstation. Quantian also incorporated clusterKnoppix and added support for openMosix, including r... |

It plays a similar role to the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) in the TCP/IP protocol suite. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital%20nephrotic%20syndrome | Congenital nephrotic syndrome is a rare kidney disease which manifests in infants during the first 3 months of life, and is characterized by high levels of protein in the urine (proteinuria), low levels of protein in the blood, and swelling. This disease is primarily caused by genetic mutations which result in damage t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LRK | Long Range Kinematic (LRK) technology is a sophisticated kinematic method developed by Magellan (formerly Thales) Navigation that optimises the advantages of dual-frequency GPS operation. Other conventional methods use the dual-frequency only during initialisation. LRK makes solving ambiguities during initialisation ea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosher%27s%20acid | Mosher's acid, or α-methoxy-α-trifluoromethylphenylacetic acid (MTPA) is a carboxylic acid which was first used by Harry Stone Mosher as a chiral derivatizing agent. It is a chiral molecule, consisting of R and S enantiomers.
Applications
As a chiral derivatizing agent, it reacts with an alcohol or amine of unknown st... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stieltjes%20matrix | In mathematics, particularly matrix theory, a Stieltjes matrix, named after Thomas Joannes Stieltjes, is a real symmetric positive definite matrix with nonpositive off-diagonal entries. A Stieltjes matrix is necessarily an M-matrix. Every n×n Stieltjes matrix is invertible to a nonsingular symmetric nonnegative matr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow%20storage | Rainbow storage is a developing paper-based data storage technique first demonstrated by Indian student Sainul Abideen in November 2006. Abideen received his MCA from MES Engineering College Kuttipuram in Kerala's Malappuram District .
Initial newspaper reports of the technology were disputed by multiple technical so... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riesz%20space | In mathematics, a Riesz space, lattice-ordered vector space or vector lattice is a partially ordered vector space where the order structure is a lattice.
Riesz spaces are named after Frigyes Riesz who first defined them in his 1928 paper Sur la décomposition des opérations fonctionelles linéaires.
Riesz spaces have w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordered%20vector%20space | In mathematics, an ordered vector space or partially ordered vector space is a vector space equipped with a partial order that is compatible with the vector space operations.
Definition
Given a vector space over the real numbers and a preorder on the set the pair is called a preordered vector space and we say th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic%20contrast%20factor | In acoustics, the acoustic contrast factor is a number that describes the relationship between the densities and the sound velocities of two media, or equivalently (because of the form of the expression), the relationship between the densities and compressibilities of two media. It is most often used in the context of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidophile | Acidophiles or acidophilic organisms are those that thrive under highly acidic conditions (usually at pH 5.0 or below). These organisms can be found in different branches of the tree of life, including Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya.
Examples
A list of these organisms includes:
Archaea
Sulfolobales, an order in the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acidophile%20%28histology%29 | Acidophile (or acidophil, or, as an adjectival form, acidophilic) is a term used by histologists to describe a particular staining pattern of cells and tissues when using haematoxylin and eosin stains. Specifically, the name refers to structures which "love" acid, and take it up readily. More specifically, acidophilia ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive%20quadrature | Adaptive quadrature is a numerical integration method in which the integral of a function is approximated using static quadrature rules on adaptively refined subintervals of the region of integration. Generally, adaptive algorithms are just as efficient and effective as traditional algorithms for "well behaved" integr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium%20phosphate | Magnesium phosphate is a general term for salts of magnesium and phosphate appearing in several forms and several hydrates:
Monomagnesium phosphate (Mg(H2PO4)2).xH2O
Dimagnesium phosphate (MgHPO4).xH2O
Trimagnesium phosphate (Mg3(PO4)2).xH2O
Amorphous magnesium phosphate is also claimed.
