https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experience%20sampling%20method | The experience sampling method (ESM), also referred to as a daily diary method, or ecological momentary assessment (EMA), is an intensive longitudinal research methodology that involves asking participants to report on their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and/or environment on multiple occasions over time. Participants... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating%20call | A mating call is the auditory signal used by animals to attract mates. It can occur in males or females, but literature is abundantly favored toward researching mating calls in females. In addition, mating calls are often the subject of mate choice, in which the preferences of one gender for a certain type of mating ca... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service%20assurance | Service assurance, in telecommunications, is the application of policies and processes by a Communications Service Provider (CSP) to ensure that services offered over networks meet a pre-defined service quality level for an optimal subscriber experience.
The practice of service assurance enables CSPs to identify fault... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20tangent%20bundle | In mathematics, particularly differential topology, the double tangent bundle or the second tangent bundle refers to the tangent bundle of the total space TM of the tangent bundle of a smooth manifold M
. A note on notation: in this article, we denote projection maps by their domains, e.g., πTTM : TTM → TM. Some auth... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeRoy%20radius | The LeRoy radius, derived by Robert J. LeRoy, defines the internuclear distance between two atoms at which LeRoy-Bernstein theory (sometimes called near-dissociation theory) becomes valid.
LeRoy-Bernstein theory is a semi-classical (WKB) approach for describing vibrational energy levels near the molecular dissociation... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D-Jury | 3D-Jury is a metaserver that aggregates and compares models from various protein structure prediction servers. It takes in groups of predictions made by a collection of servers and assigns each pair a 3D-Jury score, based on structural similarity. The score is generated by counting the number of Cα atoms in the two p... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United%20States%20gravity%20control%20propulsion%20research | American interest in "gravity control propulsion research" intensified during the early 1950s. Literature from that period used the terms anti-gravity, anti-gravitation, baricentric, counterbary, electrogravitics (), G-projects, gravitics, gravity control, and gravity propulsion. Their publicized goals were to discov... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear%20Terrorism%3A%20The%20Ultimate%20Preventable%20Catastrophe | Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe is a 2004 book by Harvard scholar Graham Allison. Allison explains that terrorists have been striving to acquire and then use nuclear weapons against the United States. During the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry fe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign-body%20giant%20cell | A foreign-body giant cell is a collection of fused macrophages (giant cell) which are generated in response to the presence of a large foreign body. This is particularly evident with catheters, parasites, or biomaterials that are inserted into the body for replacement or regeneration of diseased or damaged tissues. For... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariance%20group | In physics, a covariance group is a group of coordinate transformations between frames of reference (see for example Ryckman (2005)). A frame of reference provides a set of coordinates for an observer moving with that frame to make measurements and define physical quantities. The covariance principle states the laws of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZZ%20diboson | ZZ dibosons are rare pairs of Z bosons. They were first observed by the experiments at the Large Electron–Positron Collider (ALEPH, DELPHI, L3 and OPAL). The first observation in a hadron collider was made by the scientists of DØ collaboration at Fermilab.
Discussion
ZZ dibosons are force-carrying particles observed... |
