In numerical linear algebra, the Jacobi eigenvalue algorithm is an iterative method for the calculation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a real symmetric matrix (a process known as diagonalization). It is named after Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, who first proposed the method in 1846, but only became widely used in t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20point%20contact
A quantum point contact (QPC) is a narrow constriction between two wide electrically conducting regions, of a width comparable to the electronic wavelength (nano- to micrometer). The importance of QPC lies in the fact that they prove quantisation of ballistic conductance in mesoscopic systems. The conductance of a QPC ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-bialgebra
In mathematics, quasi-bialgebras are a generalization of bialgebras: they were first defined by the Ukrainian mathematician Vladimir Drinfeld in 1990. A quasi-bialgebra differs from a bialgebra by having coassociativity replaced by an invertible element which controls the non-coassociativity. One of their key properti...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-Hopf%20algebra
A quasi-Hopf algebra is a generalization of a Hopf algebra, which was defined by the Russian mathematician Vladimir Drinfeld in 1989. A quasi-Hopf algebra is a quasi-bialgebra for which there exist and a bijective antihomomorphism S (antipode) of such that for all and where and where the expansions for th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20Heisenberg%20model
The quantum Heisenberg model, developed by Werner Heisenberg, is a statistical mechanical model used in the study of critical points and phase transitions of magnetic systems, in which the spins of the magnetic systems are treated quantum mechanically. It is related to the prototypical Ising model, where at each site o...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CARD%20%28domain%29
Caspase recruitment domains, or caspase activation and recruitment domains (CARDs), are interaction motifs found in a wide array of proteins, typically those involved in processes relating to inflammation and apoptosis. These domains mediate the formation of larger protein complexes via direct interactions between ind...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segal%27s%20conjecture
Segal's Burnside ring conjecture, or, more briefly, the Segal conjecture, is a theorem in homotopy theory, a branch of mathematics. The theorem relates the Burnside ring of a finite group G to the stable cohomotopy of the classifying space BG. The conjecture was made in the mid 1970s by Graeme Segal and proved in 1984 ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP%20250
The HP 250 was a multiuser business computer by Hewlett-Packard running HP 250 BASIC language as its OS with access to HP's IMAGE database management. It was produced by the General Systems Division (GSD), but was a major repackaging of desktop workstation HP 9835 which had been sold in small business configurations. T...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective%20evolutionary%20time
The hypothesis of effective evolutionary time attempts to explain gradients, in particular latitudinal gradients, in species diversity. It was originally named "time hypothesis". Background Low (warm) latitudes contain significantly more species than high (cold) latitudes. This has been shown for many animal and plan...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatarsophalangeal%20joints
The metatarsophalangeal joints (MTP joints), also informally known as toe knuckles, are the joints between the metatarsal bones of the foot and the proximal bones (proximal phalanges) of the toes. They are condyloid joints, meaning that an elliptical or rounded surface (of the metatarsal bones) comes close to a shallo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral%20condyle%20of%20tibia
The lateral condyle is the lateral portion of the upper extremity of tibia. It serves as the insertion for the biceps femoris muscle (small slip). Most of the tendon of the biceps femoris inserts on the fibula. See also Gerdy's tubercle Medial condyle of tibia Additional images

The medial condyle is the medial (or inner) portion of the upper extremity of tibia. It is the site of insertion for the semimembranosus muscle. See also Lateral condyle of tibia Medial collateral ligament Additional images
