A considerable number of studies have examined the effect on humans. By the late 1980s, there were at least 40 published studies on...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%20function
In mathematics, the Euler function is given by Named after Leonhard Euler, it is a model example of a q-series and provides the prototypical example of a relation between combinatorics and complex analysis. Properties The coefficient in the formal power series expansion for gives the number of partitions of k. Tha...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosov%20diffeomorphism
In mathematics, more particularly in the fields of dynamical systems and geometric topology, an Anosov map on a manifold M is a certain type of mapping, from M to itself, with rather clearly marked local directions of "expansion" and "contraction". Anosov systems are a special case of Axiom A systems. Anosov diffeomor...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum%20Monte%20Carlo
Quantum Monte Carlo encompasses a large family of computational methods whose common aim is the study of complex quantum systems. One of the major goals of these approaches is to provide a reliable solution (or an accurate approximation) of the quantum many-body problem. The diverse flavors of quantum Monte Carlo appr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle-associated%20membrane%20protein
Vesicle associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) are a family of SNARE proteins with similar structure, and are mostly involved in vesicle fusion. VAMP1 and VAMP2 proteins known as synaptobrevins are expressed in brain and are constituents of the synaptic vesicles, where they participate in neurotransmitter release. VAM...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptobrevin
Synaptobrevins (synaptobrevin isotypes 1-2) are small integral membrane proteins of secretory vesicles with molecular weight of 18 kilodalton (kDa) that are part of the vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP) family. Synaptobrevin is one of the SNARE proteins involved in formation of the SNARE complexes. Structure...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train%20noise
Train noise is vehicle noise made by trains. Noises may be heard inside the train and outside. Subway systems, light rail transit and freight trains can send loud train noise into neighborhoods. Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have set guidelines for noi...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link%20adaptation
Link adaptation, comprising adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) and others (such as Power Control), is a term used in wireless communications to denote the matching of the modulation, coding and other signal and protocol parameters to the conditions on the radio link (e.g. the pathloss, the interference due to signals...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchoconstriction
Bronchoconstriction is the constriction of the airways in the lungs due to the tightening of surrounding smooth muscle, with consequent coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Causes The condition has a number of causes, the most common being emphysema as well as asthma. Exer an otherwise asymptomatic individual....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastic%20recoil%20detection
Elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA), also referred to as forward recoil scattering (or, contextually, spectrometry), is an ion beam analysis technique in materials science to obtain elemental concentration depth profiles in thin films. This technique is known by several different names. These names are listed belo...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees%20of%20freedom%20%28mechanics%29
In physics, the degrees of freedom (DOF) of a mechanical system is the number of independent parameters that define its configuration or state. It is important in the analysis of systems of bodies in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, and other fields. The position of a si...
