https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trait%C3%A9%20de%20Zoologie | The , complete title popularly known as is a 52 volume synthesis of Zoology published between 1948 and 1979 originally under the direction of Pierre-Paul Grassé. A new edition commenced in 1980. The books were not published in order, and some promised parts are yet to appear. The books are written in the French langu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisulfite%20sequencing | Bisulfite sequencing (also known as bisulphite sequencing) is the use of bisulfite treatment of DNA before routine sequencing to determine the pattern of methylation. DNA methylation was the first discovered epigenetic mark, and remains the most studied. In animals it predominantly involves the addition of a methyl gro... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VG-1%20%28cell%20line%29 | VG-1 is a B cell line which was derived from primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) . It was first established in 2000 by David T. Scadden’s group at Massachusetts General Hospital. It is infected with Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV), but negative with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) . |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YqeY%20protein%20domain | In molecular biology, YqeY is a type of protein domain of unknown function. It is thought to have a role in protein synthesis, facilitating the production of charged transfer RNA used in the process of translating mRNA into protein. It is present as a domain of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) in almost all eukaryote... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sievert%20integral | The Sievert integral, named after Swedish medical physicist Rolf Sievert, is a special function commonly encountered in radiation transport calculations.
It plays a role in the sievert (symbol: Sv) unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2 | SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) is one of the Intel SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) processor supplementary instruction sets introduced by Intel with the initial version of the Pentium 4 in 2000. It extends the earlier SSE instruction set, and is intended to fully replace MMX. Intel extended SSE2 to creat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain%20coloring | In complex analysis, domain coloring or a color wheel graph is a technique for visualizing complex functions by assigning a color to each point of the complex plane. By assigning points on the complex plane to different colors and brightness, domain coloring allows for a function from the complex plane to itself — whos... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer%20membrane%20protein%20G | Outer membrane protein G (OmpG) is a porin, a channel proteins in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria.
Escherichia coli OmpG forms a 14-stranded beta-barrel and in contrast to most porins, appears to function as a monomer. The central pore of OmpG is wider than other E. coli porins and it is speculated that ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOTCH2NL | Notch homolog 2 N-terminal-like is a family of proteins that in humans consists of 3 proteins (NOTCH2NLA, NOTCH2NLB, and NOTCH2NLC) and is encoded by NOTCH2NL gene. It appears to play a key role in the development of the prefrontal cortex, a part of the brain.
NOTCH2NL increases the number of cortical stem cells, wh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherically%20symmetric%20spacetime | In physics, spherically symmetric spacetimes are commonly used to obtain analytic and numerical solutions to Einstein's field equations in the presence of radially moving matter or energy. Because spherically symmetric spacetimes are by definition irrotational, they are not realistic models of black holes in nature. Ho... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve%20theory | Sieve theory is a set of general techniques in number theory, designed to count, or more realistically to estimate the size of, sifted sets of integers. The prototypical example of a sifted set is the set of prime numbers up to some prescribed limit X. Correspondingly, the prototypical example of a sieve is the sieve ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandya%20theorem | The Pandya theorem is a good illustration of the richness of information forthcoming from a judicious use of subtle symmetry principles connecting vastly different sectors of nuclear systems. It is a tool for calculations regarding both particles and holes.
Description
Pandya theorem provides a theoretical framework f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisconsin%20Integrally%20Synchronized%20Computer | The Wisconsin Integrally Synchronized Computer (WISC) was an early digital computer designed and built at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. Operational in 1954, it was the first digital computer in the state.
Pioneering computer designer Gene Amdahl drafted the WISC's design as his PhD thesis. The computer was buil... |
