https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat%20necrosis
Fat necrosis is a form of necrosis that is caused by the action of lipases on adipocytes. In fat necrosis, the enzyme lipase releases fatty acids from triglycerides. The fatty acids then complex with calcium to form soaps. These soaps appear as white chalky deposits. It is usually associated with trauma of the pancre...

The simulator contains several models for structured (e.g. Chord, Kademlia, Pastry) and unstructured (e.g. GIA) peer-to-peer protocol...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streptazolin
Streptazolin is an antibiotic and antifungal substance isolated in 1981 from Streptomyces viridochromogenes. Because of its polymerisation tendency, it is not suitable for therapeutic use. 1,4-reduction of the conjugated diene gives dihydrostreptazolin which is stable, but has very limited antimicrobial properties. T...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graminoid
In botany and ecology, graminoid refers to a herbaceous plant with a grass-like morphology, i.e. elongated culms with long, blade-like leaves. They are contrasted to forbs, herbaceous plants without grass-like features. The plants most often referred to include the families Poaceae (grasses in the strict sense), Cyper...

The MSX machines were very popular in Brazil at the time, and they virtually killed all the other competing 8 bit microcomputers in the Brazilian market. ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty%27s%20formulae
Vincenty's formulae are two related iterative methods used in geodesy to calculate the distance between two points on the surface of a spheroid, developed by Thaddeus Vincenty (1975a). They are based on the assumption that the figure of the Earth is an oblate spheroid, and hence are more accurate than methods that assu...

In geometry, a Steiner chain is a set of circles, all of which are tangent to two given non-intersecting circles (blue and red in Figure 1), where is finite and each circle in the chain is tangent to the previous and next circles in the chain. In the usual closed Steiner chains, the first and last (-th) circles are a...
