https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron%20backscattering | Neutron backscattering is one of several inelastic neutron scattering techniques. Backscattering from monochromator and analyzer crystals is used to achieve an energy resolution in the order of μeV. Neutron backscattering experiments are performed to study atomic or molecular motion on a nanosecond time scale.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth%20expansion | Bandwidth expansion is a technique for widening the bandwidth or the resonances in an LPC filter. This is done by moving all the poles towards the origin by a constant factor . The bandwidth-expanded filter can be easily derived from the original filter by:
Let be expressed as:
The bandwidth-expanded filter can be... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halpern%E2%80%93L%C3%A4uchli%20theorem | In mathematics, the Halpern–Läuchli theorem is a partition result about finite products of infinite trees. Its original purpose was to give a model for set theory in which the Boolean prime ideal theorem is true but the axiom of choice is false. It is often called the Halpern–Läuchli theorem, but the proper attribution... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil%20ensign | A civil ensign is an ensign (maritime flag) used by civilian vessels to denote their nationality. It can be the same or different from the state ensign and the naval ensign (or war ensign). It is also known as the merchant ensign or merchant flag. Some countries have special civil ensigns for yachts, and even for speci... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/65%2C535 | 65535 is the integer after 65534 and before 65536.
It is the maximum value of an unsigned 16-bit integer.
In mathematics
65535 is the sum of 20 through 215 (20 + 21 + 22 + ... + 215) and is therefore a repdigit in base 2 (1111111111111111), in base 4 (33333333), and in base 16 (FFFF).
It is the ninth number whose ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group%20%28computing%29 | In computing, the term group generally refers to a grouping of users. In principle, users may belong to none, one, or many groups (although in practice some systems place limits on this.) The primary purpose of user groups is to simplify access control to computer systems.
Suppose a computer science department has a n... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%20water%20clearance | In the physiology of the kidney, free water clearance (CH2O) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of solute-free water per unit time. An example of its use is in the determination of an individual's state of hydration. Conceptually, free water clearance should be thought of relative to the production of isoosm... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bursting | Bursting, or burst firing, is an extremely diverse general phenomenon of the activation patterns of neurons in the central nervous system and spinal cord where periods of rapid action potential spiking are followed by quiescent periods much longer than typical inter-spike intervals. Bursting is thought to be important ... |
