https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peg%20%28unit%29 | A peg is a unit of volume, typically used to measure amounts of liquor in the Indian subcontinent. Informally, a peg is an undefined measure of any alcoholic drink poured in a glass.
The terms "large (badda) peg" and "small (chota) peg" are equal to 60ml and 30ml, respectively, with "peg" alone simply referring to a 6... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured%20entity%20relationship%20model | The SERM (structured entity relationship model) is an amplification of the ERM which is commonly used for data modeling. It was first proposed from Prof. Dr. Elmar J. Sinz in 1988. The SERM is commonly used in the SAP-world for the data modeling.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpattern | In the mathematical study of permutations and permutation patterns, a superpattern or universal permutation is a permutation that contains all of the patterns of a given length. More specifically, a k-superpattern contains all possible patterns of length k.
Definitions and example
If π is a permutation of length n, re... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote%20manipulator | A remote manipulator, also known as a telefactor, telemanipulator, or waldo (after the 1942 short story "Waldo" by Robert A. Heinlein which features a man who invents and uses such devices), is a device which, through electronic, hydraulic, or mechanical linkages, allows a hand-like mechanism to be controlled by a huma... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgressive%20segregation | In genetics, transgressive segregation is the formation of extreme phenotypes, or transgressive phenotypes, observed in segregated hybrid populations compared to phenotypes observed in the parental lines. The appearance of these transgressive (extreme) phenotypes can be either positive or negative in terms of fitness. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique%20correction | In particle physics, an oblique correction refers to a particular type of radiative correction to the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. Oblique corrections are defined in four-fermion scattering processes, ( + → + ) at the CERN Large Electron–Positron Collider. There are three classes of radiative correction... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonoblique%20correction | In four-fermion scattering processes of particle physics, a nonoblique correction, also called a direct correction, refers to a radiative correction of type
+ → +
in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. These corrections are being studied at the CERN LEP collider. Together with the oblique corrections, ... |
