Let K be a non-archimedean local field, let Ks denote a separa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hericium%20americanum | Hericium americanum, commonly known as the bear's head tooth fungus is an edible mushroom in the tooth fungus group. It was described as new to science in 1984 by Canadian mycologist James Herbert Ginns.
Hericium americanum are commonly found on decaying trees in the Northern United States and Canada. This fungus gro... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamming%20avoidance%20response | The jamming avoidance response is a behavior of some species of weakly electric fish. It occurs when two electric fish with wave discharges meet – if their discharge frequencies are very similar, each fish shifts its discharge frequency to increase the difference between the two. By doing this, both fish prevent jammin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyglycerol%20polyricinoleate | Polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR), E476, is an emulsifier made from glycerol and fatty acids (usually from castor bean, but also from soybean oil). In chocolate, compound chocolate and similar coatings, PGPR is mainly used with another substance like lecithin to reduce viscosity. It is used at low levels (below 0.5%)... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral%20gap%20%28physics%29 | In quantum mechanics, the spectral gap of a system is the energy difference between its ground state and its first excited state. The mass gap is the spectral gap between the vacuum and the lightest particle. A Hamiltonian with a spectral gap is called a gapped Hamiltonian, and those that do not are called gapless.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspirator%20%28entomology%29 | In entomology, an aspirator, also known as a pooter, is a device used in the collection of insects, crustaceans or other small, fragile organisms, usually for scientific purposes.
Design and use
Such devices are most commonly used by entomologists for field and lab work. One of the most common designs consists of a s... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%20curvature | In differential geometry, the two principal curvatures at a given point of a surface are the maximum and minimum values of the curvature as expressed by the eigenvalues of the shape operator at that point. They measure how the surface bends by different amounts in different directions at that point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerschenkron%20effect | The Gerschenkron effect, developed by Alexander Gerschenkron, claims that changing the base year for an index determines the growth rate of the index. This effect is applicable only to aggregation method using reference price structure (meaning, each country’s quantities are valued by uniform set of prices to obtain v... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital%20angular%20momentum%20of%20light | The orbital angular momentum of light (OAM) is the component of angular momentum of a light beam that is dependent on the field spatial distribution, and not on the polarization. It can be further split into an internal and an external OAM. The internal OAM is an origin-independent angular momentum of a light beam that... |

Phases
XCI is usually divided in two phases, the establishment phase when gene silencing is reversible, and maintenance phase when gene silencing becomes irre... |
