https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chandrasekhar%27s%20variational%20principle | In astrophysics, Chandrasekhar's variational principle provides the stability criterion for a static barotropic star, subjected to radial perturbation, named after the Indian American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar.
Statement
A baratropic star with and is stable if the quantity
is non-negative for all r... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaphoglossoideae | Elaphoglossoideae is a subfamily of the fern family Dryopteridaceae. It has previously been regarded as the family Elaphoglossaceae. As circumscribed by the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group in their 2016 classification (PPG I), the subfamily excludes the Polybotryoideae, which are kept separate. It can be divided into thre... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlap%20fermion | In lattice field theory, overlap fermions are a fermion discretization that allows to avoid the fermion doubling problem. They are a realisation of Ginsparg–Wilson fermions.
Initially introduced by Neuberger in 1998, they were quickly taken up for a variety of numerical simulations. By now overlap fermions are well es... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant%20Attack | Ant Attack is a ZX Spectrum computer game by Sandy White, published by Quicksilva in 1983. It was converted to the Commodore 64 in 1984.
While Zaxxon and Q*bert previously used isometric projection, Ant Attack added an extra degree of freedom (ability to go up and down instead of just north, south, east and west), and... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner%20rotation | In theoretical physics, the composition of two non-collinear Lorentz boosts results in a Lorentz transformation that is not a pure boost but is the composition of a boost and a rotation. This rotation is called Thomas rotation, Thomas–Wigner rotation or Wigner rotation. If a sequence of non-collinear boosts returns an ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID | OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol promoted by the non-profit OpenID Foundation. It allows users to be authenticated by co-operating sites (known as relying parties, or RP) using a third-party identity provider (IDP) service, eliminating the need for webmasters to provide their own ad ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiral%20model | In nuclear physics, the chiral model, introduced by Feza Gürsey in 1960, is a phenomenological model describing effective interactions of mesons in the chiral limit (where the masses of the quarks go to zero), but without necessarily mentioning quarks at all. It is a nonlinear sigma model with the principal homogeneous... |
