https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLDN17 | Claudin-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN17 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins; claudins are cell-cell junction proteins that keep that maintains cell- and tissue-barrier function. It forms anion-selective paracellular channels and is localized mainly in kidney proximal tubules. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registry%20of%20Standard%20Biological%20Parts | The Registry of Standard Biological Parts is a collection of genetic parts that are used in the assembly of systems and devices in synthetic biology. The registry was founded in 2003 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The registry, as of 2018, contains over 20,000 parts. Recipients of the genetic parts inclu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer%20group | In mathematics, a layer group is a three-dimensional extension of a wallpaper group, with reflections in the third dimension. It is a space group with a two-dimensional lattice, meaning that it is symmetric over repeats in the two lattice directions. The symmetry group at each lattice point is an axial crystallographic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray%20T3E | The Cray T3E was Cray Research's second-generation massively parallel supercomputer architecture, launched in late November 1995. The first T3E was installed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center in 1996. Like the previous Cray T3D, it was a fully distributed memory machine using a 3D torus topology interconnection n... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TPM%20domain | The TPM domain family is named after the three founding proteins TLP18.3, Psb32 and MOLO-1. TPM domains have a characteristic fold (αβαβαββαα or βαβαββαα) composed of α helices (3+3 or 2+3) flanking four central β strands. The TPM fold has not been found in other protein domains to date. TPM was previously referred to ... |

Its businesses provide scientific, technical and medical information and analytics; legal information and analytics; decision-making tools; and organise exhibitions. It operates in 40 countries ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20plant%20systematics | The history of plant systematics—the biological classification of plants—stretches from the work of ancient Greek to modern evolutionary biologists. As a field of science, plant systematics came into being only slowly, early plant lore usually being treated as part of the study of medicine. Later, classification and de... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denavit%E2%80%93Hartenberg%20parameters | In mechanical engineering, the Denavit–Hartenberg parameters (also called DH parameters) are the four parameters associated with a particular convention for attaching reference frames to the links of a spatial kinematic chain, or robot manipulator.
Jacques Denavit and Richard Hartenberg introduced this convention in 1... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active%20Archive%20Alliance | The Active Archive Alliance is a trade association that promotes a method of tiered storage. This method provides users access to data across a virtual file system that migrates data between multiple storage systems and media types including solid-state drive/flash, hard disk drives, magnetic tape, optical disk, and cl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-oriented%20programming | Role-oriented programming as a form of computer programming aims at expressing things in terms that are analogous to human conceptual understanding of the world. This should make programs easier to understand and maintain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinplasmonics | Spinplasmonics is a field of nanotechnology combining spintronics and plasmonics. The field was pioneered by Professor Abdulhakem Elezzabi at the University of Alberta in Canada. In a simple spinplasmonic device, light waves couple to electron spin states in a metallic structure. The most elementary spinplasmonic devi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generated%20regressor | In least squares estimation problems, sometimes one or more regressors specified in the model are not observable. One way to circumvent this issue is to estimate or generate regressors from observable data. This generated regressor method is also applicable to unobserved instrumental variables. Under some regularity co... |
