https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hazard%20%28logic%29 | In digital logic, a hazard is an undesirable effect caused by either a deficiency in the system or external influences in both synchronous and asynchronous circuits. Logic hazards are manifestations of a problem in which changes in the input variables do not change the output correctly due to some form of delay caused ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.PC | X.PC is a deprecated communications protocol developed by McDonnell-Douglas for connecting a personal computer to its Tymnet packet-switched public data telecommunications network. It is a subset of X.25, a CCITT standard for packet-switched networks. It is a full-duplex, asynchronous and error-correcting network proto... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragraphos | A paragraphos (, , from , 'beside', and , 'to write') was a mark in ancient Greek punctuation, marking a division in a text (as between speakers in a dialogue or drama) or drawing the reader's attention to another division mark, such as the two dot punctuation mark .
There are many variants of this symbol, sometimes s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPDL | The XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) is a format standardized by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) to interchange business process definitions between different workflow products, i.e. between different modeling tools and management suites.
XPDL defines an XML schema for specifying the declarative part of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive%20heap%20sort | In computer science, adaptive heap sort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm of the adaptive sort family. It is a variant of heap sort that performs better when the data contains existing order. Published by Christos Levcopoulos and Ola Petersson in 1992, the algorithm utilizes a new measure of presortedness, Osc, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive%20sort | A sorting algorithm falls into the adaptive sort family if it takes advantage of existing order in its input. It benefits from the presortedness in the input sequence – or a limited amount of disorder for various definitions of measures of disorder – and sorts faster. Adaptive sorting is usually performed by modifyin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball%20statistics | Statistics in basketball are kept to evaluate a player's or a team's performance.
Examples
Examples of basketball statistics include:
GM, GP; GS: games played; games started
PTS: points
FGM, FGA, FG%: field goals made, attempted and percentage
FTM, FTA, FT%: free throws made, attempted and percentage
3FGM, 3FGA,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renato%20Caccioppoli | Renato Caccioppoli (; 20 January 1904 – 8 May 1959) was an Italian mathematician, known for his contributions to mathematical analysis, including the theory of functions of several complex variables, functional analysis, measure theory.
Life and career
Born in Naples, he was the son of Giuseppe Caccioppoli (1852–1947)... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic%20diagrams | Thermodynamic diagrams are diagrams used to represent the thermodynamic states of a material (typically fluid) and the consequences of manipulating this material. For instance, a temperature–entropy diagram (T–s diagram) may be used to demonstrate the behavior of a fluid as it is changed by a compressor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal%20model%20of%20ischemic%20stroke | Animal models of ischemic stroke are procedures inducing cerebral ischemia. The aim is the study of basic processes or potential therapeutic interventions in this disease, and the extension of the pathophysiological knowledge on and/or the improvement of medical treatment of human ischemic stroke.
Ischemic stroke has a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfectly%20matched%20layer | A perfectly matched layer (PML) is an artificial absorbing layer for wave equations, commonly used to truncate computational regions in numerical methods to simulate problems with open boundaries, especially in the FDTD and FE methods. The key property of a PML that distinguishes it from an ordinary absorbing material... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replisome | The replisome is a complex molecular machine that carries out replication of DNA. The replisome first unwinds double stranded DNA into two single strands. For each of the resulting single strands, a new complementary sequence of DNA is synthesized. The total result is formation of two new double stranded DNA sequenc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavity%20method | The cavity method is a mathematical method presented by Marc Mézard, Giorgio Parisi and Miguel Angel Virasoro in 1987 to solve some mean field type models in statistical physics, specially adapted to disordered systems. The method has been used to compute properties of ground states in many condensed matter and optimiz... |
