https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music%20and%20mathematics | Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered%2C%20Earth-fixed%20coordinate%20system | The Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system (acronym ECEF), also known as the geocentric coordinate system, is a cartesian spatial reference system that represents locations in the vicinity of the Earth (including its surface, interior, atmosphere, and surrounding outer space) as X, Y, and Z measurements from its... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local%20tangent%20plane%20coordinates | Local tangent plane coordinates (LTP), also known as local ellipsoidal system, local geodetic coordinate system, or local vertical, local horizontal coordinates (LVLH), are a spatial reference system based on the tangent plane defined by the local vertical direction and the Earth's axis of rotation.
It consists of thre... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchenko%20equation | In mathematical physics, more specifically the one-dimensional inverse scattering problem, the Marchenko equation (or Gelfand-Levitan-Marchenko equation or GLM equation), named after Israel Gelfand, Boris Levitan and Vladimir Marchenko, is derived by computing the Fourier transform of the scattering relation:
Where is... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/FSQ-32 | The AN/FSQ-32 SAGE Solid State Computer (AN/FSQ-7A before December 1958, colloq. "Q-32") was a planned military computer central for deployment to Super Combat Centers in nuclear bunkers and to some above-ground military installations. In 1958, Air Defense Command planned to acquire 13 Q-32 centrals for several Air Di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution%20of%20the%20eye | Many scientists have found the evolution of the eye attractive to study because the eye distinctively exemplifies an analogous organ found in many animal forms. Simple light detection is found in bacteria, single-celled organisms, plants and animals. Complex, image-forming eyes have evolved independently several times.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone%20morphogenetic%20protein%208B | Bone morphogenetic protein 8B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP8B gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TGF-β superfamily. It has close sequence homology to BMP7 and BMP5 and is believed to play a role in bone and cartilage development. It has been shown to be expressed in the hippo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound%20recording%20copyright%20symbol | The sound recording copyright symbol or phonogram symbol, (letter P in a circle), is the copyright symbol used to provide notice of copyright in a sound recording (phonogram) embodied in a phonorecord (LPs, audiotapes, cassette tapes, compact discs, etc.). It was first introduced in the Rome Convention for the Protect... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone%20morphogenetic%20protein%206 | Bone morphogenetic protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP6 gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TGFβ superfamily. Bone morphogenetic proteins are known for their ability to induce the growth of bone and cartilage. BMP6 is able to induce all osteogenic markers in mesenchymal st... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lute%20of%20Pythagoras | The lute of Pythagoras is a self-similar geometric figure made from a sequence of pentagrams.
Constructions
The lute may be drawn from a sequence of pentagrams.
The centers of the pentagraphs lie on a line and (except for the first and largest of them) each shares two vertices with the next larger one in the sequence.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone%20morphogenetic%20protein%205 | Bone morphogenetic protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMP5 gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is member of the TGFβ superfamily. Bone morphogenetic proteins are known for their ability to induce bone and cartilage development. BMP5 may play a role in certain cancers. Like other BMP's BMP5 is i... |
