https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slater%E2%80%93Condon%20rules | Within computational chemistry, the Slater–Condon rules express integrals of one- and two-body operators over wavefunctions constructed as Slater determinants of orthonormal orbitals in terms of the individual orbitals. In doing so, the original integrals involving N-electron wavefunctions are reduced to sums over inte... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriorhodopsin | Bacteriorhodopsin (Bop) is a protein used by Archaea, most notably by haloarchaea, a class of the Euryarchaeota. It acts as a proton pump; that is, it captures light energy and uses it to move protons across the membrane out of the cell. The resulting proton gradient is subsequently converted into chemical energy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indicator%20of%20compromise | Indicator of compromise (IoC) in computer forensics is an artifact observed on a network or in an operating system that, with high confidence, indicates a computer intrusion.
Types of indication
Typical IoCs are virus signatures and IP addresses, MD5 hashes of malware files, or URLs or domain names of botnet command ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photothermal%20time | Photothermal time (PTT) is a product between growing degree-days (GDD) and day length (hours) for each day. PTT = GDD × DL It can be used to quantify environment, as well as the timing of developmental stages of plants. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-order%20intercept%20point | The Second-order intercept point, also known as the SOI, IP2, or IIP2 (Input intercept point), is a measure of linearity that quantifies the second-order distortion generated by nonlinear systems and devices. Examples of frequently used devices that are concerned with this measure are amplifiers and mixers. It is relat... |
