https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PEGASE | PEGASE is a design for a space observatory developed by France in the early 2000s. It combined formation flying with infrared telescopes operating as a double-aperture interferometer. Three free-flying satellites would operate together;a beam combiner and two siderostats. The baseline of the interferometer would be adj... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adler-32 | Adler-32 is a checksum algorithm written by Mark Adler in 1995, modifying Fletcher's checksum. Compared to a cyclic redundancy check of the same length, it trades reliability for speed. Adler-32 is more reliable than Fletcher-16, and slightly less reliable than Fletcher-32.
History
The Adler-32 checksum is part of t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacterial%20morphology | Cyanobacterial morphology refers to the form or shape of cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria are a large and diverse phylum of bacteria defined by their unique combination of pigments and their ability to perform oxygenic photosynthesis.
Cyanobacteria often live in colonial aggregates that can take a multitude of forms. Of p... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic%20broadcast | In fault-tolerant distributed computing, an atomic broadcast or total order broadcast is a broadcast where all correct processes in a system of multiple processes receive the same set of messages in the same order; that is, the same sequence of messages. The broadcast is termed "atomic" because it either eventually co... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic%20coordinates | In mathematics, hyperbolic coordinates are a method of locating points in quadrant I of the Cartesian plane
.
Hyperbolic coordinates take values in the hyperbolic plane defined as:

These coordinates in HP are useful for studying logarithmic comparisons of direct proportion in Q and measuring deviations from direc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress%20router | An ingress router is a label switch router that is a starting point (source) for a given label-switched path (LSP). An ingress router may be an egress router or an intermediate router for any other LSP(s). Hence the role of ingress and egress routers is LSP specific. Usually, the MPLS label is attached with an IP packe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskagma | Diskagma ("disc-like fragment") is a genus of problematic fossil from a Paleoproterozoic (2200 million years old) paleosol from South Africa, and significant as the oldest likely eukaryote and earliest evidence for megascopic life on land.
Description
Diskagma buttonii is a small fossil less than 1mm in length found w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ply%20%28game%20theory%29 | In two-or-more-player sequential games, a ply is one turn taken by one of the players. The word is used to clarify what is meant when one might otherwise say "turn".
The word "turn" can be a problem since it means different things in different traditions. For example, in standard chess terminology, one move consists... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk%20density | In materials science, bulk density, also called apparent density, is a material property defined as the mass of the many particles of the material divided by the bulk volume. Bulk volume is defined as the total volume the particles occupy, including particle's own volume, inter-particle void volume, and the particles'... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED%20microscopy | Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is one of the techniques that make up super-resolution microscopy. It creates super-resolution images by the selective deactivation of fluorophores, minimizing the area of illumination at the focal point, and thus enhancing the achievable resolution for a given system. It... |
