https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H2TH%20domain | In molecular biology, the H2TH domain (helix-2turn-helix domain) is a DNA-binding domain found in DNA glycosylase/AP lyase enzymes, which are involved in base excision repair of DNA damaged by oxidation or by mutagenic agents. Most damage to bases in DNA is repaired by the base excision repair pathway. These enzymes ar... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grothendieck%E2%80%93Katz%20p-curvature%20conjecture | In mathematics, the Grothendieck–Katz p-curvature conjecture is a local-global principle for linear ordinary differential equations, related to differential Galois theory and in a loose sense analogous to the result in the Chebotarev density theorem considered as the polynomial case. It is a conjecture of Alexander Gro... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklace%20polynomial | In combinatorial mathematics, the necklace polynomial, or Moreau's necklace-counting function, introduced by , counts the number of distinct necklaces of n colored beads chosen out of α available colors. The necklaces are assumed to be aperiodic (not consisting of repeated subsequences), and counted up to rotation (ro... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontotemporal%20lobar%20degeneration | Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) is a pathological process that occurs in frontotemporal dementia. It is characterized by atrophy in the frontal lobe and temporal lobe of the brain, with sparing of the parietal and occipital lobes.
Common proteinopathies that are found in FTLD include the accumulation of tau p... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20biquad%20filter | In signal processing, a digital biquad filter is a second order recursive linear filter, containing two poles and two zeros. "Biquad" is an abbreviation of "biquadratic", which refers to the fact that in the Z domain, its transfer function is the ratio of two quadratic functions:
The coefficients are often normalized... |
