https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larson%E2%80%93Miller%20relation | The Larson–Miller relation, also widely known as the Larson–Miller parameter and often abbreviated LMP, is a parametric relation used to extrapolate experimental data on creep and rupture life of engineering materials.
Background and usage
F.R. Larson and J. Miller proposed that creep rate could adequately be describ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetogenin | Acetogenins are a class of polyketide natural products found in plants of the family Annonaceae. They are characterized by linear 32- or 34-carbon chains containing oxygenated functional groups including hydroxyls, ketones, epoxides, tetrahydrofurans and tetrahydropyrans. They are often terminated with a lactone or b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioprecipitation | Bioprecipitation is the concept of rain-making bacteria and was proposed by David Sands from Montana State University in the 1970s. The formation of ice in clouds is required for snow and most rainfall. Dust and soot particles can serve as ice nuclei, but biological ice nuclei are capable of catalyzing freezing at much... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coturnism | Coturnism is an illness featuring muscle tenderness and rhabdomyolysis (muscle cell breakdown) after consuming quail (usually common quail, Coturnix coturnix, from which the name derives) that have fed on poisonous plants.
Causes
From case histories it is known that the toxin is stable, as four-month-old pickled quail... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACAM2000 | ACAM2000 is a smallpox vaccine manufactured by Sanofi Pasteur Biologics Co. It provides protection against smallpox for people determined to be at high risk for smallpox infection.
Background
Smallpox is considered a biological threat due to its potential to be used as a biological agent. Biological agents are toxins... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%20C%2A-module | Hilbert C*-modules are mathematical objects that generalise the notion of Hilbert spaces (which are themselves generalisations of Euclidean space), in that they endow a linear space with an "inner product" that takes values in a C*-algebra. Hilbert C*-modules were first introduced in the work of Irving Kaplansky in 19... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane%20ruffling | Within molecular and cell biology membrane ruffling (also known as cell ruffling) is the formation of a motile cell surface that contains a meshwork of newly polymerized actin filaments. It can also be regarded as one of the earliest structural changes observed in the cell. The GTP-binding protein Rac is the regulator ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirkle%27s%20alcohol | Pirkle's alcohol is an off-white, crystalline solid that is stable at room temperature when protected from light and oxygen. This chiral molecule is typically used, in nonracemic form, as a chiral shift reagent in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, in order to simultaneously determine absolute configuration and e... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudin | Pseudin is a peptide derived from Pseudis paradoxa. Pseudins have some antimicrobial function.
There are several different forms:
pseudin-1
pseudin-2 -- has been proposed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes.
pseudin-4
Pseudin-2
Pseudin-2 is the most abundant version of the pseudins found on the skin of the paradox... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe%20solver | The Roe approximate Riemann solver, devised by Phil Roe, is an approximate Riemann solver based on the Godunov scheme and involves finding an estimate for the intercell numerical flux or Godunov flux at the interface between two computational cells and , on some discretised space-time computational domain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20modeling%20and%20fabrication | Digital modeling and fabrication is a design and production process that combines 3D modeling or computing-aided design (CAD) with additive and subtractive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing is also known as 3D printing, while subtractive manufacturing may also be referred to as machining, and many other technologie... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarski%27s%20plank%20problem | In mathematics, Tarski's plank problem is a question about coverings of convex regions in n-dimensional Euclidean space by "planks": regions between two hyperplanes. Tarski asked if the sum of the widths of the planks must be at least the minimum width of the convex region. The question was answered affirmatively by
