https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinarian%20system | The quinarian system was a method of zoological classification which was popular in the mid 19th century, especially among British naturalists. It was largely developed by the entomologist William Sharp Macleay in 1819. The system was further promoted in the works of Nicholas Aylward Vigors, William John Swainson and J... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitVault | BitVault is a content-addressable distributed storage system, developed by Microsoft Research in China. BitVault uses peer-to-peer technology to distribute the tasks of storing and managing data. As such, there is no central authority responsible for management of the system. Rather, it is self-managing, provides high ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical%20protein | In biochemistry, a hypothetical protein is a protein whose existence has been predicted, but for which there is a lack of experimental evidence that it is expressed in vivo. Sequencing of several genomes has resulted in numerous predicted open reading frames to which functions cannot be readily assigned. These proteins... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admissible%20ordinal | In set theory, an ordinal number α is an admissible ordinal if Lα is an admissible set (that is, a transitive model of Kripke–Platek set theory); in other words, α is admissible when α is a limit ordinal and Lα ⊧ Σ0-collection. The term was coined by Richard Platek in 1966.
The first two admissible ordinals are ω and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advantage%20%28cryptography%29 | In cryptography, an adversary's advantage is a measure of how successfully it can attack a cryptographic algorithm, by distinguishing it from an idealized version of that type of algorithm. Note that in this context, the "adversary" is itself an algorithm and not a person. A cryptographic algorithm is considered secu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access%20Linux%20Platform | The Access Linux Platform (ALP) is a discontinued open-source software based operating system, once referred to as a "next-generation version of the Palm OS," for mobile devices developed and marketed by Access Co., of Tokyo, Japan. The platform included execution environments for Java, classic Palm OS, and GTK+-based ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge-transfer%20insulators | Charge-transfer insulators are a class of materials predicted to be conductors following conventional band theory, but which are in fact insulators due to a charge-transfer process. Unlike in Mott insulators, where the insulating properties arise from electrons hopping between unit cells, the electrons in charge-transf... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient%20matrix | In linear algebra, a coefficient matrix is a matrix consisting of the coefficients of the variables in a set of linear equations. The matrix is used in solving systems of linear equations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix%20grammar | A matrix grammar is a formal grammar in which instead of single productions, productions are grouped together into finite sequences. A production cannot be applied separately, it must be applied in sequence. In the application of such a sequence of productions, the rewriting is done in accordance to each production in ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neugebauer%20equations | The Neugebauer equations are a set of equations used to model color printing systems, developed by Hans E. J. Neugebauer. They were intended to predict the color produced by a combination of halftones printed in cyan, magenta, and yellow inks.
The equations estimate the reflectance (in CIE XYZ coordinates or as a func... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorionic%20villi | Chorionic villi are villi that sprout from the chorion to provide maximal contact area with maternal blood.
They are an essential element in pregnancy from a histomorphologic perspective, and are, by definition, a product of conception. Branches of the umbilical arteries carry embryonic blood to the villi. After circu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%20Biodiversity%20Target | The 2010 Biodiversity Target was an overall conservation target aiming to halt the decline of biodiversity by the end of 2010. The world largely failed to meet the target.
History of the 2010 Biodiversity Target
It was first adopted by EU Heads of State at the EU Summit in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2001. They decide... |
