It prescribes that a function that maps a set of input values I to a set of output values O should be chosen or learned so as to maximize the average Shannon mutual information between I and O, subject to a se... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse%20short-channel%20effect | In MOSFETs, reverse short-channel effect (RSCE) is an increase of threshold voltage with decreasing channel length; this is the opposite of the usual short-channel effect. The difference comes from changes in doping profiles used in modern small device manufacturing.
RSCE is a result of non-uniform channel doping (ha... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waxman-Bahcall%20bound | The Waxman-Bahcall bound is a computed upper limit on the observed flux of high energy neutrinos based on the observed flux of high energy cosmic rays. Since the highest energy neutrinos are produced in the same interactions as high energy cosmic rays, the observed rate of production of the latter places a limit on the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nearest%20neighbour%20distribution | In probability and statistics, a nearest neighbor function, nearest neighbor distance distribution, nearest-neighbor distribution function or nearest neighbor distribution is a mathematical function that is defined in relation to mathematical objects known as point processes, which are often used as mathematical models... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beauvericin | Beauvericin is a depsipeptide with antibiotic and insecticidal effects belonging to the enniatin family. It was isolated from the fungus Beauveria bassiana, but is also produced by several other fungi, including several Fusarium species; it may therefore occur in grain (such as corn, wheat and barley) contaminated with... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline%20of%20the%20Manhattan%20Project | The Manhattan Project was a research and development project that produced the first atomic bombs during World War II.
