https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erd%C5%91s%E2%80%93Nagy%20theorem | The Erdős–Nagy theorem is a result in discrete geometry stating that a non-convex simple polygon can be made into a convex polygon by a finite sequence of flips. The flips are defined by taking a convex hull of a polygon and reflecting a pocket with respect to the boundary edge. The theorem is named after mathematici... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallo-beta-lactamase%20protein%20fold | The metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) superfamily constitutes a group of proteins found in all domains of life that share a characteristic αββα fold with the ability to bind transition metal ions. Such metal binding sites may have divalent transition metal ions like Zn(II), Fe(II)/Fe(III) and Mn(II), and are located at the bot... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct%20repeat | Direct repeats are a type of genetic sequence that consists of two or more repeats of a specific sequence. In other words, the direct repeats are nucleotide sequences present in multiple copies in the genome. Generally, a direct repeat occurs when a sequence is repeated with the same pattern downstream. There is and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tellurometer | The tellurometer was the first successful microwave electronic distance measurement equipment. The name derives from the Latin tellus, meaning Earth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age%20determination%20in%20dinosaurs | Age determination in dinosaurs is mainly used to determine the approximate age of a dinosaur when the animal died.
History
Early attempts to estimate the longevity of dinosaurs used allometric scaling principles. Ages were determined by dividing individual mass estimates by rates of growth for similar, extant taxa. Fo... |
