Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles'... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle%20of%20arrival | The angle of arrival (AoA) of a signal is the direction from which the signal (e.g. radio, optical or acoustic) is received.
Measurement
Measurement of AoA can be done by determining the direction of propagation of a radio-frequency wave incident on an antenna array or determined from maximum signal strength during an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence%20quantification%20analysis | Recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is a method of nonlinear data analysis (cf. chaos theory) for the investigation of dynamical systems. It quantifies the number and duration of recurrences of a dynamical system presented by its phase space trajectory.
Background
The recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) was ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City%20Connection | is a 1985 platform game developed and published as an arcade video game by Jaleco. It was released in North America by Kitkorp as Cruisin'. The player controls Clarice in her Honda City hatchback and must drive over elevated roads to paint them. Clarice is pursued by police cars, which she can stun by hitting them with... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamellar%20structure | In materials science, lamellar structures or microstructures are composed of fine, alternating layers of different materials in the form of lamellae. They are often observed in cases where a phase transition front moves quickly, leaving behind two solid products, as in rapid cooling of eutectic (such as solder) or eut... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defeminization | In developmental biology and zoology, defeminization is an aspect of the process of sexual differentiation by which a potential female-specific structure, function, or behavior is changed by one of the processes of male development.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal%20decomposition | Thermal decomposition (or thermolysis) is a chemical decomposition caused by heat. The decomposition temperature of a substance is the temperature at which the substance chemically decomposes. The reaction is usually endothermic as heat is required to break chemical bonds in the compound undergoing decomposition. If de... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faint%20young%20Sun%20paradox | The faint young Sun paradox or faint young Sun problem describes the apparent contradiction between observations of liquid water early in Earth's history and the astrophysical expectation that the Sun's output would be only 70 percent as intense during that epoch as it is during the modern epoch. The paradox is this: w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand%20%28biochemistry%29 | In biochemistry and pharmacology, a ligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve a biological purpose. The etymology stems from Latin ligare, which means 'to bind'. In protein-ligand binding, the ligand is usually a molecule which produces a signal by binding to a site on a target protein. Th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornidazole | Ornidazole is an antibiotic used to treat protozoan infections. A synthetic nitroimidazole, it is commercially obtained from an acid-catalyzed reaction between 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole and epichlorohydrin.
Antimicrobial spectrum is similar to that of metronidazole and is more well tolerated; however there are concer... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard%20Mark%20II | The Harvard Mark II, also known as the Aiken Relay Calculator, was an electromechanical computer built under the direction of Howard Aiken at Harvard University, completed in 1947. It was financed by the United States Navy and used for ballistic calculations at Naval Proving Ground Dahlgren. Howard Aiken and Grace Hopp... |
