https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple%20sequence%20length%20polymorphism | Simple Sequence Length Polymorphisms (SSLPs) are used as genetic markers with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). An SSLP is a type of polymorphism: a difference in DNA sequence amongst individuals. SSLPs are repeated sequences over varying base lengths in intergenic regions of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Variance in the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutually%20unbiased%20bases | In quantum information theory, a set of bases in Hilbert space Cd are
are said to be mutually unbiased to mean, that, if a system is prepared in an eigen state of one of the bases, then all outcomes of the measurement with respect to the other basis are predicted to occur with an equal probability inexorably equal to ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium%20atom | A helium atom is an atom of the chemical element helium. Helium is composed of two electrons bound by the electromagnetic force to a nucleus containing two protons along with two neutrons, depending on the isotope, held together by the strong force. Unlike for hydrogen, a closed-form solution to the Schrödinger equatio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whoopie%20sling | A whoopie sling is an easily adjustable rope sling designed for tree pruning or tree removal. The whoopie sling works by wrapping the sling around the trunk of a tree or a heavy load bearing limb and pulling the end of the rope within the sling through a spliced choker. By adjusting the size of the eye in the rope thro... |
