https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofact%20%28philosophy%29 | In philosophy and sociology, a biofact is a being that is both an artifact and living being, or both natural and artificial. This being has been created by purposive human action but exists by processes of growth. The word is a neologism coined from the combination of the words bios and artifact.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biofact%20%28biology%29 | In biology, a biofact is dead material of a once-living organism.
In 1943, the protozoologist Bruno M. Klein of Vienna (1891–1968) coined the term in his article Biofakt und Artefakt in the microscopy journal Mikrokosmos, though at that time it was not adopted by the scientific community. Klein's concept of biofact st... |

The KSV-21 was originally built by SafeNet but has since been purchased by Raytheon as a tamper-resistant reprogrammable module an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barwise%20compactness%20theorem | In mathematical logic, the Barwise compactness theorem, named after Jon Barwise, is a generalization of the usual compactness theorem for first-order logic to a certain class of infinitary languages. It was stated and proved by Barwise in 1967.
Statement
Let be a countable admissible set. Let be an -finite relatio... |

The ACPSEM was first incorporated in 1977 as the Australasian College of Physical Scientists in Medicine. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison%20of%20agent-based%20modeling%20software | In the last few years, the agent-based modeling (ABM) community has developed several practical agent based modeling toolkits that enable individuals to develop agent-based applications. More and more such toolkits are coming into existence, and each toolkit has a variety of characteristics. Several individuals have ma... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akbulut%20cork | In topology, an Akbulut cork is a structure that is frequently used to show that in 4-dimensions, the smooth h-cobordism theorem fails. It was named after Turkish mathematician Selman Akbulut.
A compact contractible Stein 4-manifold with involution on its boundary is called an Akbulut cork, if extends to a self-hom... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accidental%20symmetry |
In field theory
In physics, particularly in renormalization theory, an accidental symmetry is a symmetry which is present in an effective field theory because the operators in the Lagrangian that violate this symmetry are irrelevant operators. Since the contribution by irrelevant operators at low energies is small, t... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross%20tuning | Cross tuning or cross-tuning (aka scordatura) is an alternative tuning used for the open strings of a string instrument. The term refers to the practice of retuning the strings; it also refers to the various tunings commonly used, or in some contexts it may refer to the AEAE fiddle tuning. In folk music traditions, cr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population%20structure%20%28genetics%29 | Population structure (also called genetic structure and population stratification) is the presence of a systematic difference in allele frequencies between subpopulations. In a randomly mating (or panmictic) population, allele frequencies are expected to be roughly similar between groups. However, mating tends to be no... |
