https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maceration%20%28bone%29 | Maceration is a bone preparation technique whereby a clean skeleton is obtained from a vertebrate carcass by leaving it to decompose inside a closed container at near-constant temperature. This may be done as part of a forensic investigation, as a recovered body is too badly decomposed for a meaningful autopsy, but wi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information%20flow%20%28information%20theory%29 | Information flow in an information theoretical context is the transfer of information from a variable to a variable in a given process. Not all flows may be desirable; for example, a system should not leak any confidential information (partially or not) to public observers—as it is a violation of privacy on an indivi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central%20binomial%20coefficient | In mathematics the nth central binomial coefficient is the particular binomial coefficient
They are called central since they show up exactly in the middle of the even-numbered rows in Pascal's triangle. The first few central binomial coefficients starting at n = 0 are:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherically%20symmetric%20spacetime | In physics, spherically symmetric spacetimes are commonly used to obtain analytic and numerical solutions to Einstein's field equations in the presence of radially moving matter or energy. Because spherically symmetric spacetimes are by definition irrotational, they are not realistic models of black holes in nature. Ho... |

Lazy Jones is a collection of fifteen sub-games. The game takes place inside a hotel with three floors, c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TILLING%20%28molecular%20biology%29 | TILLING (Targeting Induced Local Lesions in Genomes) is a method in molecular biology that allows directed identification of mutations in a specific gene. TILLING was introduced in 2000, using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, and expanded on into other uses and methodologies by a small group of scientists includin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence%20%28mathematical%20logic%29 | In mathematical logic, a sentence (or closed formula) of a predicate logic is a Boolean-valued well-formed formula with no free variables. A sentence can be viewed as expressing a proposition, something that must be true or false. The restriction of having no free variables is needed to make sure that sentences can ha... |
