https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudiviridae | Rudiviridae is a family of viruses with linear double stranded DNA genomes that infect archaea. The viruses of this family are highly thermostable and can act as a template for site-selective and spatially controlled chemical modification. Furthermore, the two strands of the DNA are covalently linked at both ends of th... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clapotis | In hydrodynamics, a clapotis (from French for "lapping of water") is a non-breaking standing wave pattern, caused for example, by the reflection of a traveling surface wave train from a near vertical shoreline like a breakwater, seawall or steep cliff.
The resulting clapotic wave does not travel horizontally, but has a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen-vacancy%20center | The nitrogen-vacancy center (N-V center or NV center) is one of numerous point defects in diamond. Its most explored and useful property is its photoluminescence, which allows observers to read out its spin-state. The NV center's electron spin, localized at atomic scales, can be manipulated at room temperature by exter... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilenberg%E2%80%93Mazur%20swindle | In mathematics, the Eilenberg–Mazur swindle, named after Samuel Eilenberg and Barry Mazur, is a method of proof that involves paradoxical properties of infinite sums. In geometric topology it was introduced by and is often called the Mazur swindle. In algebra it was introduced by Samuel Eilenberg
and is known as t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress%20field | A stress field is the distribution of internal forces in a body that balance a given set of external forces. Stress fields are widely used in fluid dynamics and materials science.
Consider that one can picture the stress fields as the stress created by adding an extra half plane of atoms to a crystal. The bonds are cle... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consecutive%20case%20series | A consecutive case series is a clinical study that includes all eligible patients identified by the researchers during the study registration period. The patients are treated in the order in which they are identified. This type of study usually does not have a control group.
For example, in Sugrue, et al. (2016), a co... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface%20force | Surface force denoted fs is the force that acts across an internal or external surface element in a material body.
Normal forces and shear forces between objects are types of surface force. All cohesive forces and contact forces between objects are considered as surface forces.
Surface force can be decomposed into two... |
