Thus, an object that exists in time has temporal parts in the various subregions of the total region of time it occupies, just like... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel%20Paragon | The Intel Paragon is a discontinued series of massively parallel supercomputers that was produced by Intel in the 1990s. The Paragon XP/S is a productized version of the experimental Touchstone Delta system that was built at Caltech, launched in 1992. The Paragon superseded Intel's earlier iPSC/860 system, to which it ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warped%20linear%20predictive%20coding | Warped linear predictive coding (warped LPC or WLPC) is a variant of linear predictive coding in which the spectral representation of the system is modified, for example by replacing the unit delays used in an LPC implementation with first-order all-pass filters. This can have advantages in reducing the bitrate require... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promegakaryocyte | A promegakaryocyte is a precursor cell for a megakaryocyte. It arises from a megakaryoblast, into a promegakaryocyte and then into a megakaryocyte, which will eventually break off and become a platelet.
The developmental stages of the megakaryocyte are:
CFU-Me (pluripotential hemopoietic stem cell or hemocytoblast) → ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promonocyte | A promonocyte (or premonocyte) is a cell arising from a monoblast and developing into a monocyte.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryo | Cryo- is from the Ancient Greek κρύος (krúos, “ice, icy cold, chill, frost”). Uses of the prefix Cryo- include:
Physics and geology
Cryogenics, the study of the production and behaviour of materials at very low temperatures and the study of producing extremely low temperatures
Cryoelectronics, the study of superco... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left%20anterior%20descending%20artery | The left anterior descending artery (also LAD, anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery, or anterior descending branch) is a branch of the left coronary artery. It supplies the anterior portion of the left ventricle. It provides about half of the arterial supply to the left ventricle and is thus conside... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta%20characteristic | In mathematics, a theta characteristic of a non-singular algebraic curve C is a divisor class Θ such that 2Θ is the canonical class. In terms of holomorphic line bundles L on a connected compact Riemann surface, it is therefore L such that L2 is the canonical bundle, here also equivalently the holomorphic cotangent bun... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon%20detonation | Carbon detonation or carbon deflagration is the violent reignition of thermonuclear fusion in a white dwarf star that was previously slowly cooling. It involves a runaway thermonuclear process which spreads through the white dwarf in a matter of seconds, producing a type Ia supernova which releases an immense amount of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrate%20esterase | α-Naphthyl butyrate esterase, also referred to as naphthyl butyrate esterase or butyrate esterase, is a histological stain specific for white blood cells of the monocytic proliferation line.
It is used in the diagnosis of leukemia when staining touch preparation type slides of bone marrow. It is instrumental in the d... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Driven%20right%20leg%20circuit | A Driven Right Leg circuit or DRL circuit, also known as Right Leg Driving technique, is an electric circuit that is often added to biological signal amplifiers to reduce common-mode interference. Biological signal amplifiers such as ECG (electrocardiogram) EEG (electroencephalogram) or EMG circuits measure very small ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-interval%20tetrachord | An all-interval tetrachord is a tetrachord, a collection of four pitch classes, containing all six interval classes. There are only two possible all-interval tetrachords (to within inversion), when expressed in prime form. In set theory notation, these are [0,1,4,6] (4-Z15) and [0,1,3,7] (4-Z29). Their inversions are [... |
