https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent%20water%20supply | A piped water supply and distribution system is intermittent when water continuity is for less than 24 hours a day or not on all days of the week. During this continuity defining factors are water pressure and equity. At least 45 countries have intermittent water supply (IWS) systems. It is contrasted with a continuous... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primon%20gas | In mathematical physics, the primon gas or Riemann gas discovered by Bernard Julia is a model illustrating correspondences between number theory and methods in quantum field theory, statistical mechanics and dynamical systems such as the Lee-Yang theorem. It is a quantum field theory of a set of non-interacting partic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PABPC5 | Poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PABPC5 gene.
Function
This gene encodes a poly(A)-binding protein that binds to the polyA tail found at the 3' end of most eukaryotic mRNAs. It is thought to play a role in the regulation of mRNA metabolic processes in the cytoplasm. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type%20%28model%20theory%29 | In model theory and related areas of mathematics, a type is an object that describes how a (real or possible) element or finite collection of elements in a mathematical structure might behave. More precisely, it is a set of first-order formulas in a language L with free variables x1, x2,…, xn that are true of a set of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature%20effect | A miniature effect is a special effect created for motion pictures and television programs using scale models. Scale models are often combined with high speed photography or matte shots to make gravitational and other effects appear convincing to the viewer. The use of miniatures has largely been superseded by computer... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unum%20%28number%20format%29 | Unums (universal numbers) are a family of number formats and arithmetic for implementing real numbers on a computer, proposed by John L. Gustafson in 2015. They are designed as an alternative to the ubiquitous IEEE 754 floating-point standard. The latest version is known as posits.
Type I Unum
The first version of u... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source%20port | A source port is a software project based on the source code of a game engine that allows the game to be played on operating systems or computing platforms with which the game was not originally compatible.
Description
Source ports are often created by fans after the original developer hands over the maintenance suppo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoglossal%20membrane | The hyoglossal membrane is a strong fibrous lamina, which connects the under surface of the root of the tongue to the body of the hyoid bone. It is characterized by a posterior widening of the lingual septum.
This membrane receives, in front, some of the fibers of the Genioglossi. Inferior fibers are attached to hyogl... |
