https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarimeter | A polarimeter is a scientific instrument used to measure the angle of rotation caused by passing polarized light through an optically active substance.
Some chemical substances are optically active, and polarized (uni-directional) light will rotate either to the left (counter-clockwise) or right (clockwise) when passe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast%20folding%20algorithm | In signal processing, the fast folding algorithm (Staelin, 1969) is an efficient algorithm for the detection of approximately-periodic events within time series data. It computes superpositions of the signal modulo various window sizes simultaneously.
The FFA is best known for its use in the detection of pulsars, as p... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear%20thinning | In rheology, shear thinning is the non-Newtonian behavior of fluids whose viscosity decreases under shear strain. It is sometimes considered synonymous for pseudo-plastic behaviour, and is usually defined as excluding time-dependent effects, such as thixotropy.
Shear thinning is the most common type of non-Newtonian b... |

He was Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the University of Iowa, and formerly research fellow at the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics, senior instructor at Hebrew University and software consultant at ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel%27s%20identity | In mathematics, Abel's identity (also called Abel's formula or Abel's differential equation identity) is an equation that expresses the Wronskian of two solutions of a homogeneous second-order linear ordinary differential equation in terms of a coefficient of the original differential equation.
The relation can be gene... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicular%20communication%20systems | Vehicular communication systems are computer networks in which vehicles and roadside units are the communicating nodes, providing each other with information, such as safety warnings and traffic information. They can be effective in avoiding accidents and traffic congestion. Both types of nodes are dedicated short-rang... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate%20Equality%20Index | The Corporate Equality Index is a report published by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation as a tool to rate American businesses on their treatment of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender employees, consumers and investors.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah%27s%20Witnesses%20and%20blood%20transfusions | Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Bible prohibits Christians from accepting blood transfusions. Their literature states that, "'abstaining from ... blood' means not accepting blood transfusions and not donating or storing their own blood for transfusion." The belief is based on an interpretation of scripture that di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20B.%20Conway | John Bligh Conway (born September 22, 1939) is an American mathematician. He is currently a professor emeritus at the George Washington University. His specialty is functional analysis, particularly bounded operators on a Hilbert space.
Conway earned his B.S. from Loyola University and Ph.D. from Louisiana State Univ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%20Map%20at%20Lake%20Klejtrup | The World Map at Lake Klejtrup () is a miniature world map built of stones and grass in Klejtrup Sø near the village of Klejtrup, Viborg Municipality, Denmark.
History
In 1943, Søren Poulsen, a local farmer, was working on the drainage of the surrounding meadows when he found a stone shaped like the Jutland peninsula... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-regular%20language | The ω-regular languages are a class of ω-languages that generalize the definition of regular languages to infinite words.
Formal definition
An ω-language L is ω-regular if it has the form
Aω where A is a regular language not containing the empty string
AB, the concatenation of a regular language A and an ω-regular... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallome | In biochemistry, the metallome is the distribution of metal ions in a cellular compartment. The term was coined in analogy with proteome as metallomics is the study of metallome: the "comprehensive analysis of the entirety of metal and metalloid species within a cell or tissue type". Therefore, metallomics can be con... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistant%20starch | Resistant starch (RS) is starch, including its degradation products, that escapes from digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Resistant starch occurs naturally in foods, but it can also be added as part of dried raw foods, or used as an additive in manufactured foods.
Some types of resistant starch (... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPK%20coloring | In chemistry, the CPK coloring (for Corey–Pauling–Koltun) is a popular color convention for distinguishing atoms of different chemical elements in molecular models.
History
August Wilhelm von Hofmann was apparently the first to introduce molecular models into organic chemistry, following August Kekule's introduction ... |
