https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative%20feedback%20theory | In control theory, quantitative feedback theory (QFT), developed by Isaac Horowitz (Horowitz, 1963; Horowitz and Sidi, 1972), is a frequency domain technique utilising the Nichols chart (NC) in order to achieve a desired robust design over a specified region of plant uncertainty. Desired time-domain responses are trans... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry%20rot | Dry rot is wood decay caused by one of several species of fungi that digest parts of the wood which give the wood strength and stiffness.

For example, a table will be perceived as a complete volumetric structure even if only part of it—the facing surface—projects to the retina; it is perceived as possessing internal volume and hidd... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-and-forth%20method | In mathematical logic, especially set theory and model theory, the back-and-forth method is a method for showing isomorphism between countably infinite structures satisfying specified conditions. In particular it can be used to prove that
any two countably infinite densely ordered sets (i.e., linearly ordered in such... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel740 | The Intel740, or i740 (codenamed Auburn), is a 350 nm graphics processing unit using an AGP interface released by Intel on February 12, 1998. Intel was hoping to use the i740 to popularize the Accelerated Graphics Port, while most graphics vendors were still using PCI. Released to enormous fanfare, the i740 proved to h... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptomino | A heptomino (or 7-omino) is a polyomino of order 7, that is, a polygon in the plane made of 7 equal-sized squares connected edge-to-edge. The name of this type of figure is formed with the prefix hept(a)-. When rotations and reflections are not considered to be distinct shapes, there are 108 different free heptominoes.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonomino | A nonomino (or enneomino or 9-omino) is a polyomino of order 9, that is, a polygon in the plane made of 9 equal-sized squares connected edge-to-edge. The name of this type of figure is formed with the prefix non(a)-. When rotations and reflections are not considered to be distinct shapes, there are 1,285 different free... |
