https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local%20time%20%28mathematics%29 | In the mathematical theory of stochastic processes, local time is a stochastic process associated with semimartingale processes such as Brownian motion, that characterizes the amount of time a particle has spent at a given level. Local time appears in various stochastic integration formulas, such as Tanaka's formula, i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux%20limiter | Flux limiters are used in high resolution schemes – numerical schemes used to solve problems in science and engineering, particularly fluid dynamics, described by partial differential equations (PDEs). They are used in high resolution schemes, such as the MUSCL scheme, to avoid the spurious oscillations (wiggles) that ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital%20septum | In anatomy, the orbital septum (palpebral fascia) is a membranous sheet that acts as the anterior (frontal) boundary of the orbit. It extends from the orbital rims to the eyelids. It forms the fibrous portion of the eyelids.
Structure
In the upper eyelid, the orbital septum blends with the tendon of the levator palpe... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacopo%20Berengario%20da%20Carpi | Jacopo Berengario da Carpi (also known as Jacobus Berengarius Carpensis, Jacopo Barigazzi, Giacomo Berengario da Carpi or simply Carpus; c. 1460 – c. 1530) was an Italian physician. His book "Isagoge breves" published in 1522 made him the most important anatomist before Andreas Vesalius.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-resolution%20scheme | High-resolution schemes are used in the numerical solution of partial differential equations where high accuracy is required in the presence of shocks or discontinuities. They have the following properties:
Second- or higher-order spatial accuracy is obtained in smooth parts of the solution.
Solutions are free from sp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stopped-flow | Stopped-flow is an experimental technique for studying chemical reactions with a half time of the order of 1 ms, introduced by Britton Chance and extended by Quentin Gibson (Other techniques, such as the temperature-jump method, are available for much faster processes.)
