In linear algebra, the coherence or mutual coherence of a matrix A is defined as the maximum absolute value of the cross-correlations between the columns of A. Formally, let be the columns of the matrix A, which are assumed to be normalized such that The mutual coherence of A is then defined as A lower bound is ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farrell%E2%80%93Jones%20conjecture
In mathematics, the Farrell–Jones conjecture, named after F. Thomas Farrell and Lowell E. Jones, states that certain assembly maps are isomorphisms. These maps are given as certain homomorphisms. The motivation is the interest in the target of the assembly maps; this may be, for instance, the algebraic K-theory of a g...

The Child Development Index (CDI) is an index combining performance measures specific to children—education, health and nutrition—to produce a score on a scale of 0 to 100. A zero score would be the best. The higher the score, the worse children are faring. The Child Development Index was developed by Save the Childre...

The Generalist Genes hypothesis of learning abilities and disabilities was originally coined in an article by Plomin & Kovas (2005). The Generalist Genes hypothesis suggests that most genes associated with common learning disabilities and abilities are generalist in three ways. Firstly, the same genes that influence ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevotella
Prevotella is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria. Prevotella spp. are members of the oral, vaginal, and gut microbiota and are often recovered from anaerobic infections of the respiratory tract.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum%20%28measurement%29
Continuum (: continua or continuums) theories or models explain variation as involving gradual quantitative transitions without abrupt changes or discontinuities. In contrast, categorical theories or models explain variation using qualitatively different states. In physics In physics, for example, the space-time cont...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum
In physics, a quantum (: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction. The fundamental notion that a physical property can be "quantized" is referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization". This means that the magnitude of the physical property can take on only d...
