https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diversity%20University | Diversity University was the first MOO dedicated specifically for education. Like other MUDs, it was an online realm that allowed people to interact in real time by connecting to a central server, assuming a virtual identity within that realm, "teleporting" (in other words, transporting your character) or "walking" to ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuchal%20organ | The nuchal organ is a ciliated pit or groove present at the posterior end of the prostomium of annelid worms, some cephalopods, and other invertebrates.
Annelids only possess one nuchal organ, although the nature of the grooving may make it appear to be a pair of organs.
It may be involved in light detection, and may... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular%20modeling%20on%20GPUs | Molecular modeling on GPU is the technique of using a graphics processing unit (GPU) for molecular simulations.
In 2007, NVIDIA introduced video cards that could be used not only to show graphics but also for scientific calculations. These cards include many arithmetic units (, up to 3,584 in Tesla P100) working in pa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserTank | LaserTank (also known as Laser Tank) is a puzzle video game requiring logical thinking to solve a variety of levels. It is open source, careware, and can be used for free. The player must be able to concentrate and think ahead as in playing chess or checkers. Contradicting its name, LaserTank is in no way an action gam... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christophe%20Breuil | Christophe Breuil (; born 1968) is a French mathematician, who works in arithmetic geometry and algebraic number theory.
Work
With Fred Diamond, Richard Taylor and Brian Conrad in 1999, he proved the Taniyama–Shimura conjecture, which previously had only been proved for semistable elliptic curves by Andrew Wiles and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van%20den%20Bergh%20reaction | Van den Bergh reaction is a chemical reaction used to measure bilirubin levels in blood. More specifically, it determines the amount of conjugated bilirubin in the blood. The reaction produces azobilirubin.
Principle: bilirubin reacts with diazotised sulphanilic acid to produce purple coloured azobilirubin. This reacti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azobilirubin | Azobilirubin is a coloured compound formed by the oxidation of diazotized sulfanilic acid with bilirubin in the van den Bergh reaction. The quantity of bilirubin in patients with jaundice can be determined by the formation of azobilirubin in the presence of methanol.
The Van den Bergh chemical reaction which is used ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec%20diamond | In combinatorial mathematics, an Aztec diamond of order n consists of all squares of a square lattice whose centers (x,y) satisfy |x| + |y| ≤ n. Here n is a fixed integer, and the square lattice consists of unit squares with the origin as a vertex of 4 of them, so that both x and y are half-integers.
The Aztec diamond... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FKG%20inequality | In mathematics, the Fortuin–Kasteleyn–Ginibre (FKG) inequality is a correlation inequality, a fundamental tool in statistical mechanics and probabilistic combinatorics (especially random graphs and the probabilistic method), due to . Informally, it says that in many random systems, increasing events are positively corr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiview%20orthographic%20projection | In technical drawing and computer graphics, a multiview projection is a technique of illustration by which a standardized series of orthographic two-dimensional pictures are constructed to represent the form of a three-dimensional object. Up to six pictures of an object are produced (called primary views), with each pr... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation%20inequality | A correlation inequality is any of a number of inequalities satisfied by the correlation functions of a model. Such inequalities are of particular use in statistical mechanics and in percolation theory.
Examples include:
Bell's inequality
FKG inequality
Griffiths inequality, and its generalisation, the Ginibre inequal... |
