https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic%20dip | Magnetic dip, dip angle, or magnetic inclination is the angle made with the horizontal by the Earth's magnetic field lines. This angle varies at different points on the Earth's surface. Positive values of inclination indicate that the magnetic field of the Earth is pointing downward, into the Earth, at the point of mea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compilation%20error | Compilation error or compile error refers to a state when a compiler fails to compile a piece of computer program source code, either due to errors in the code, or, more unusually, due to errors in the compiler itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide%20computing | Peptide computing is a form of computing which uses peptides, instead of traditional electronic components. The basis of this computational model is the affinity of antibodies towards peptide sequences. Similar to DNA computing, the parallel interactions of peptide sequences and antibodies have been used by this model ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested%20intervals | In mathematics, a sequence of nested intervals can be intuitively understood as an ordered collection of intervals on the real number line with natural numbers as an index. In order for a sequence of intervals to be considered nested intervals, two conditions have to be met:
Every interval in the sequence is contai... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone%20%28category%20theory%29 | In category theory, a branch of mathematics, the cone of a functor is an abstract notion used to define the limit of that functor. Cones make other appearances in category theory as well.
Definition
Let F : J → C be a diagram in C. Formally, a diagram is nothing more than a functor from J to C. The change in terminol... |
