https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbons%E2%80%93Hawking%E2%80%93York%20boundary%20term | In general relativity, the Gibbons–Hawking–York boundary term is a term that needs to be added to the Einstein–Hilbert action when the underlying spacetime manifold has a boundary.
The Einstein–Hilbert action is the basis for the most elementary variational principle from which the field equations of general relativit... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methanandamide | Methanandamide (AM-356) is a synthetically created stable chiral analog of anandamide. Its effects have been observed to act on the cannabinoid receptors (specifically on CB1 receptors, which are part of the central nervous system) found in different organisms such as mammals, fish, and certain invertebrates (e.g. Hyd... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt%20request | In a computer, an interrupt request (or IRQ) is a hardware signal sent to the processor that temporarily stops a running program and allows a special program, an interrupt handler, to run instead. Hardware interrupts are used to handle events such as receiving data from a modem or network card, key presses, or mouse m... |

The Department of Social and Decision Sciences is headquartered in Porter Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is led by Departmen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard%20gravity | The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by or , is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth. It is a constant defined by standard as . This value was established by the 3rd General ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X87 | x87 is a floating-point-related subset of the x86 architecture instruction set. It originated as an extension of the 8086 instruction set in the form of optional floating-point coprocessors that work in tandem with corresponding x86 CPUs. These microchips have names ending in "87". This is also known as the NPX (Numeri... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic%20triad | A catalytic triad is a set of three coordinated amino acids that can be found in the active site of some enzymes. Catalytic triads are most commonly found in hydrolase and transferase enzymes (e.g. proteases, amidases, esterases, acylases, lipases and β-lactamases). An acid-base-nucleophile triad is a common motif for ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucine%20zipper | A leucine zipper (or leucine scissors) is a common three-dimensional structural motif in proteins. They were first described by Landschulz and collaborators in 1988 when they found that an enhancer binding protein had a very characteristic 30-amino acid segment and the display of these amino acid sequences on an ideali... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padovan%20polynomials | In mathematics, Padovan polynomials are a generalization of Padovan sequence numbers. These polynomials are defined by:
The first few Padovan polynomials are:
The Padovan numbers are recovered by evaluating the polynomials Pn−3(x) at x = 1.
Evaluating Pn−3(x) at x = 2 gives the nth Fibonacci number plus (−1)n.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neumann%20series | A Neumann series is a mathematical series of the form
where is an operator and its times repeated application.
This generalizes the geometric series.
The series is named after the mathematician Carl Neumann, who used it in 1877 in the context of potential theory. The Neumann series is used in functional analysis.... |
