https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideally%20hard%20superconductor | An ideally hard superconductor is a type II superconductor material with an infinite pinning force. In the external magnetic field it behaves like an ideal diamagnet if the field is switched on when the material is in the superconducting state, so-called "zero field cooled" (ZFC) regime. In the field cooled (FC) regime... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical%20system%20of%20the%20International%20Space%20Station | The electrical system of the International Space Station is a critical resource for the International Space Station (ISS) because it allows the crew to live comfortably, to safely operate the station, and to perform scientific experiments. The ISS electrical system uses solar cells to directly convert sunlight to elect... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem%20of%20the%20cube | In mathematics, the theorem of the cube is a condition for a line bundle over a product of three complete varieties to be trivial. It was a principle discovered, in the context of linear equivalence, by the Italian school of algebraic geometry. The final version of the theorem of the cube was first published by , who c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute%20irreducibility | In mathematics, a multivariate polynomial defined over the rational numbers is absolutely irreducible if it is irreducible over the complex field. For example, is absolutely irreducible, but while is irreducible over the integers and the reals, it is reducible over the complex numbers as and thus not absolutely irr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station%20biologique%20de%20Roscoff | The Station biologique de Roscoff (SBR) is a French marine biology and oceanography research and teaching center. Founded by Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers (1821–1901) in 1872, it is at the present time affiliated to the Sorbonne University (SU) and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual%20abelian%20variety | In mathematics, a dual abelian variety can be defined from an abelian variety A, defined over a field K.
Definition
To an abelian variety A over a field k, one associates a dual abelian variety Av (over the same field), which is the solution to the following moduli problem. A family of degree 0 line bundles parametriz... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-professional | E-professional or "eprofessional" or even "eProfessional" is a term used in Europe to describe a professional whose work relies on concepts of remote work: working at a distance using information technology and communications technology, as well as online collaboration (i.e. virtual team, mass collaboration, massively ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycoperdon%20umbrinum | Lycoperdon umbrinum, commonly known as the umber-brown puffball, is a type of Puffball mushroom in the genus Lycoperdon. It is found in China, Europe, Africa, and North America.
Description
This species has a fruit body that is shaped like a top, with a short, partly buried stipe. It is tall and broad. It is approxi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinning%20force | Pinning force is a force acting on a pinned object from a pinning center. In solid state physics, this most often refers to the vortex pinning, the pinning of the magnetic vortices (magnetic flux quanta, Abrikosov vortices) by different kinds of the defects in a type II superconductor. Important quantities are the indi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative-bias%20temperature%20instability | Negative-bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a key reliability issue in MOSFETs, a type of transistor aging. NBTI manifests as an increase in the threshold voltage and consequent decrease in drain current and transconductance of a MOSFET. The degradation is often approximated by a power-law dependence on time. It is... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leabra | Leabra stands for local, error-driven and associative, biologically realistic algorithm. It is a model of learning which is a balance between Hebbian and error-driven learning with other network-derived characteristics. This model is used to mathematically predict outcomes based on inputs and previous learning influen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose%20fractionation | Dose fractionation effects are utilised in the treatment of cancer with radiation therapy. When the total dose of radiation is divided into several, smaller doses over a period of several days, there are fewer toxic effects on healthy cells. This maximizes the effect of radiation on cancer and minimizes the negative si... |
