https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covariant%20classical%20field%20theory | In mathematical physics, covariant classical field theory represents classical fields by sections of fiber bundles, and their dynamics is phrased in the context of a finite-dimensional space of fields. Nowadays, it is well known that jet bundles and the variational bicomplex are the correct domain for such a descriptio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DermAtlas | DermAtlas is an open-access website devoted to dermatology that is hosted by Johns Hopkins University's Bernard A. Cohen and Christoph U. Lehmann. Its goal is to build a large-high-quality dermatologic atlas, a database of images of skin conditions, and it encourages its users to submit their dermatology images and li... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence%20of%20direct%20radiation | Equivalence of direct radiation (EDR) is a standardized comparison method for estimating the output ability of space-heating radiators and convectors.
Measured in square feet, the reference standard for EDR is the mattress radiator invented by Stephen J. Gold in the mid 19th century.
One square foot of EDR is able to... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sauerbrey%20equation | The Sauerbrey equation was developed by the German Günter Sauerbrey in 1959, while working on his doctoral thesis at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. It is a method for correlating changes in the oscillation frequency of a piezoelectric crystal with the mass deposited on it. He simultaneously developed a me... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefactoring | Prefactoring is the application of experience to the creation of new software systems. Its relationship to its namesake refactoring is that lessons learned from refactoring are part of that experience.
Experience is captured in guidelines that can be applied to a development process. The guidelines have come from a ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post%E2%80%93Turing%20machine | A Post–Turing machine is a "program formulation" of a type of Turing machine, comprising a variant of Emil Post's Turing-equivalent model of computation. Post's model and Turing's model, though very similar to one another, were developed independently. Turing's paper was received for publication in May 1936, followed b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive%20Image%20%28software%29 | Drive Image (PQDI) is a software disk cloning package for Intel-based computers. The software was developed and distributed by the former PowerQuest Corporation. Drive Image version 7 became the basis for Norton Ghost 9.0, which was released to retail markets in August 2004. Ghost was a competing product, developed ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design%20closure | Design Closure is a part of the digital electronic design automation workflow by which an integrated circuit (i.e. VLSI) design is modified from its initial description to meet a growing list of design constraints and objectives.
Every step in the IC design (such as static timing analysis, placement, routing, and so o... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legacy%20mode | In computing, legacy mode is a state in which a computer system, component, or software application behaves in a way that is different from its standard operation in order to support older software, data, or expected behavior. It differs from backward compatibility in that an item in legacy mode will often sacrifice ne... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ives%E2%80%93Stilwell%20experiment | The Ives–Stilwell experiment tested the contribution of relativistic time dilation to the Doppler shift of light. The result was in agreement with the formula for the transverse Doppler effect and was the first direct, quantitative confirmation of the time dilation factor. Since then many Ives–Stilwell type experiments... |
