https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural%20mechanics | Structural mechanics or mechanics of structures is the computation of deformations, deflections, and internal forces or stresses (stress equivalents) within structures, either for design or for performance evaluation of existing structures. It is one subset of structural analysis. Structural mechanics analysis needs in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initialization-on-demand%20holder%20idiom | In software engineering, the initialization-on-demand holder (design pattern) idiom is a lazy-loaded singleton. In all versions of Java, the idiom enables a safe, highly concurrent lazy initialization of static fields with good performance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessible%20surface%20area | The accessible surface area (ASA) or solvent-accessible surface area (SASA) is the surface area of a biomolecule that is accessible to a solvent. Measurement of ASA is usually described in units of square angstroms (a standard unit of measurement in molecular biology). ASA was first described by Lee & Richards in 1971 ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follistatin | Follistatin also known as activin-binding protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FST gene. Follistatin is an autocrine glycoprotein that is expressed in nearly all tissues of higher animals.
Its primary function is the binding and bioneutralization of members of the TGF-β superfamily, with a particular ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prickle%20%28protein%29 | Prickle is also known as REST/NRSF-interacting LIM domain protein, which is a putative nuclear translocation receptor. Prickle is part of the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway that establishes planar cell polarity. A gain or loss of function of Prickle1 causes defects in the convergent extension movements of gastrula... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratori%20Nazionali%20del%20Gran%20Sasso | Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is the largest underground research center in the world. Situated below Gran Sasso mountain in Italy, it is well known for particle physics research by the INFN. In addition to a surface portion of the laboratory, there are extensive underground facilities beneath the mountain... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lefty%20%28protein%29 | Lefty (left-right determination factors) are a class of proteins that are closely related members of the TGF-beta superfamily of growth factors. These proteins are secreted and play a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. Mutations of the genes encoding these proteins have been... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractor%20bundle | In conformal geometry, the tractor bundle is a particular vector bundle constructed on a conformal manifold whose fibres form an effective representation of the conformal group (see associated bundle).
The term tractor is a portmanteau of "Tracy Thomas" and "twistor", the bundle having been introduced first by T. Y... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BackTrack | BackTrack was a Linux distribution that focused on security, based on the Knoppix Linux distribution aimed at digital forensics and penetration testing use. In March 2013, the Offensive Security team rebuilt BackTrack around the Debian distribution and released it under the name Kali Linux.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal%20connection | In conformal differential geometry, a conformal connection is a Cartan connection on an n-dimensional manifold M arising as a deformation of the Klein geometry given by the celestial n-sphere, viewed as the homogeneous space
O+(n+1,1)/P
where P is the stabilizer of a fixed null line through the origin in Rn+2, in the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avermectin | The avermectins are a series of drugs and pesticides used to treat parasitic worms and insect pests. They are a group of 16-membered macrocyclic lactone derivatives with potent anthelmintic and insecticidal properties. These naturally occurring compounds are generated as fermentation products by Streptomyces avermitili... |
