https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game%20physics | Computer animation physics or game physics are laws of physics as they are defined within a simulation or video game, and the programming logic used to implement these laws. Game physics vary greatly in their degree of similarity to real-world physics. Sometimes, the physics of a game may be designed to mimic the phy... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikaryon | The dikaryon is a nuclear feature that is unique to certain fungi. (The green alga Derbesia had been long considered an exception, until the heterokaryotic hypothesis was challenged by later studies.) Compatible cell-types can fuse cytoplasms (plasmogamy). When this occurs, the two nuclei of two cells pair off and coha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimyristin | Trimyristin is a saturated fat and the triglyceride of myristic acid with the chemical formula C45H86O6. Trimyristin is a white to yellowish-gray solid that is insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, acetone, benzene, chloroform, dichloromethane, ether, and TBME.
Occurrence
Trimyristin is found naturally in many v... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealed%20server | A sealed server is a type of server which is designed to run without users logging in. This setup has several potential benefits over a traditional server:
Stronger security. Since users do not log in, it is possible for a sealed server to use stronger authentication than a password mechanism.
Transparency. Since fil... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex%20wavelet%20transform | The complex wavelet transform (CWT) is a complex-valued extension to the standard discrete wavelet transform (DWT). It is a two-dimensional wavelet transform which provides multiresolution, sparse representation, and useful characterization of the structure of an image. Further, it purveys a high degree of shift-invari... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarded%20time | In electromagnetism, electromagnetic waves in vacuum travel at the speed of light c, according to Maxwell's Equations. The retarded time is the time when the field began to propagate from the point where it was emitted to an observer. The term "retarded" is used in this context (and the literature) in the sense of prop... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subculture%20%28biology%29 | In biology, a subculture is either a new cell culture or a microbiological culture made by transferring some or all cells from a previous culture to fresh growth medium. This action is called subculturing or passaging the cells. Subculturing is used to prolong the lifespan and/or increase the number of cells or microor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kell%20factor | The Kell factor, named after RCA engineer Raymond D. Kell, is a parameter used to limit the bandwidth of a sampled image signal to avoid the appearance of beat frequency patterns when displaying the image in a discrete display device, usually taken to be 0.7. The number was first measured in 1934 by Raymond D. Kell and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omo%20remains | The Omo remains are a collection of hominin bones discovered between 1967 and 1974 at the Omo Kibish sites near the Omo River, in Omo National Park in south-western Ethiopia. The bones were recovered by a scientific team from the Kenya National Museums directed by Richard Leakey and others. The remains from Kamoya's Ho... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message%20in%20a%20bottle | A message in a bottle (abbrev. MIB) is a form of communication in which a message is sealed in a container (typically a bottle) and released into a conveyance medium (typically a body of water).
Messages in bottles have been used to send distress messages, in crowdsourced scientific studies of ocean currents, as memor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interruptible%20operating%20system | An interruptible operating system is an operating system with ability to handle multiple interrupts concurrently, or in other words, which allow interrupts to be interrupted.
Concurrent interrupt handling essentially mean concurrent execution of kernel code and hence induces the additional complexity of concurrency c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherence%20%28statistics%29 | In probability theory and statistics, coherence can have several different meanings. Coherence in statistics is an indication of the quality of the information, either within a single data set, or between similar but not identical data sets. Fully coherent data are logically consistent and can be reliably combined for ... |
