https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear%20code | In coding theory, a linear code is an error-correcting code for which any linear combination of codewords is also a codeword. Linear codes are traditionally partitioned into block codes and convolutional codes, although turbo codes can be seen as a hybrid of these two types. Linear codes allow for more efficient encodi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonlinear%20filter | In signal processing, a nonlinear (or non-linear) filter is a filter whose output is not a linear function of its input. That is, if the filter outputs signals R and S for two input signals r and s separately, but does not always output αR + βS when the input is a linear combination αr + βs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical%20ring | In mathematics, the pluricanonical ring of an algebraic variety V (which is nonsingular), or of a complex manifold, is the graded ring
of sections of powers of the canonical bundle K. Its nth graded component (for ) is:
that is, the space of sections of the n-th tensor product Kn of the canonical bundle K.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodaira%20dimension | In algebraic geometry, the Kodaira dimension κ(X) measures the size of the canonical model of a projective variety X.
Igor Shafarevich in a seminar introduced an important numerical invariant of surfaces with the notation κ. Shigeru Iitaka extended it and defined the Kodaira dimension for higher dimensional varieties ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puffed%20grain | Puffed grains are grains that have been expanded ("puffed") through processing. They have been made for centuries with the simplest methods like popping popcorn. Modern puffed grains are often created using high temperature, pressure, or extrusion.
People eat puffed grains in many ways, but it can be as simple as puff... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canopy%20research | Canopy research is the field of scientific research based upon data collected in the canopy of trees.

Description of plant and animal species residing in the tree-summits. Mainly ancient forests and tropical forests are studied.
Study of forest ecosystem dynamics, change drivers and other factors that shape ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule%20expansion | The Joule expansion (also called free expansion) is an irreversible process in thermodynamics in which a volume of gas is kept in one side of a thermally isolated container (via a small partition), with the other side of the container being evacuated. The partition between the two parts of the container is then opened,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20sort | A quantum sort is any sorting algorithm that runs on a quantum computer. Any comparison-based quantum sorting algorithm would take at least steps, which is already achievable by classical algorithms. Thus, for this task, quantum computers are no better than classical ones, and should be disregarded when it comes to ti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary%20quadratic%20form | In mathematics, a binary quadratic form is a quadratic homogeneous polynomial in two variables
where a, b, c are the coefficients. When the coefficients can be arbitrary complex numbers, most results are not specific to the case of two variables, so they are described in quadratic form. A quadratic form with integ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-browser%20compatibility | Cross-browser compatibility is the ability of a website or web application to function across different browsers and degrade gracefully when browser features are absent or lacking.
History
Background
The history of cross-browser is involved with the history of the "browser wars" in the late 1990s between Netscape Na... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroEmpix | MicroEmpix is the microkernel (much nearer to an exokernel) version of Empix, an operating system (OS) developed at the Computing Systems Laboratory (CSLab) of the Electrical & Computer Engineering department at the National Technical University of Athens.
Empix began in the late 1980's as the laboratory's effort to w... |
