https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo%20homolog | Diablo homolog (DIABLO) is a mitochondrial protein that in humans is encoded by the DIABLO (direct IAP binding protein with low pI) gene on chromosome 12. DIABLO is also referred to as second mitochondria-derived activator of caspases or SMAC. This protein binds inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), thus freeing casp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-block%20contraction | The d-block contraction (sometimes called scandide contraction) is a term used in chemistry to describe the effect of having full d orbitals on the period 4 elements. The elements in question are gallium, germanium, arsenic, selenium, bromine, and krypton. Their electronic configurations include completely filled d or... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short%20division | In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. It is an abbreviated form of long division — whereby the products are omitted and the partial remainders are notated as superscripts.
As a result, a short division tableau is shorter than its long... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantile%20regression | Quantile regression is a type of regression analysis used in statistics and econometrics. Whereas the method of least squares estimates the conditional mean of the response variable across values of the predictor variables, quantile regression estimates the conditional median (or other quantiles) of the response varia... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riparian%20buffer | A riparian buffer or stream buffer is a vegetated area (a "buffer strip") near a stream, usually forested, which helps shade and partially protect the stream from the impact of adjacent land uses. It plays a key role in increasing water quality in associated streams, rivers, and lakes, thus providing environmental bene... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory%20divider | A memory divider is a ratio which is used to determine the operating clock frequency of computer memory in accordance with front side bus (FSB) frequency, if the memory system is dependent on FSB clock speed. Along with memory latency timings, memory dividers are extensively used in overclocking memory subsystems to fi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sema%20domain | The Sema domain is a structural domain of semaphorins, which are a large family of secreted and transmembrane proteins, some of which function as repellent signals during axon guidance. Sema domains also occur in the hepatocyte growth factor receptor (Uniprot: ), Plexin-A3 (Uniprot: ) and in viral proteins.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLAT%20domain | In molecular biology the PLAT domain is a protein domain that is found in a variety of membrane or lipid associated proteins. It is called the PLAT (Polycystin-1, Lipoxygenase, Alpha-Toxin) domain<ref
name="PUB00018111"></ref> or LH2 (Lipoxygenase homology) domain. The known structure
of pancreatic lipase shows this ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CorA%20metal%20ion%20transporter |
The CorA transport system is the primary Mg2+ influx system of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli. CorA is ubiquitous in the Bacteria and Archaea. There are also eukaryotic members of the family localized to the mitochondrial membrane such as MRS2 and Lpe10 in yeast.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavin-containing%20amine%20oxidoreductase | Flavin-containing amine oxidoreductases are a family of various amine oxidases, including maize polyamine oxidase (PAO), L-amino acid oxidases (LAO) and various flavin containing monoamine oxidases (MAO). The aligned region includes the flavin binding site of these enzymes. In vertebrates, MAO plays an important role i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patatin-like%20phospholipase | Family of patatin-like phospholipases consists of various patatin glycoproteins from the total soluble protein from potato tubers, and also some proteins found in vertebrates. Patatin is a storage protein but it also has the enzymatic activity of phospholipase, catalysing the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane lipi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged%20architecture | In computer science, a tagged architecture is a type of computer architecture where every word of memory constitutes a tagged union, being divided into a number of bits of data, and a tag section that describes the type of the data: how it is to be interpreted, and, if it is a reference, the type of the object that it ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramography | Ceramography is the art and science of preparation, examination and evaluation of ceramic microstructures. Ceramography can be thought of as the metallography of ceramics. The microstructure is the structure level of approximately 0.1 to 100 µm, between the minimum wavelength of visible light and the resolution limit o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine%20receptor%2C%20alpha%201 | Glycine receptor subunit alpha-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GLRA1 gene.
Function
The inhibitory glycine receptor mediates postsynaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and other regions of the central nervous system. It is a pentameric receptor composed solely of alpha subunits. The GLRB gene encodes ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eshkol-Wachman%20movement%20notation | Eshkol-Wachman movement notation is a notation system for recording movement on paper or computer screen. The system was created in Israel by dance theorist Noa Eshkol and Avraham Wachman, a professor of architecture at the Technion. The system is used in many fields, including dance, physical therapy, animal behavior ... |
