https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacalin-like%20lectin%20domain | In molecular biology, the jacalin-like lectin domain is a mannose-binding lectin domain with a beta-prism fold consisting of three 4-stranded beta-sheets, with an internal pseudo 3-fold symmetry. Some lectins in this group stimulate distinct T- and B-cell functions, such as Jacalin, which binds to the T-antigen and act... |

Host system is a computer on a network, which provides services to users or other computers on that network. Host system usually runs a multi-user operating system such as... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olami%E2%80%93Feder%E2%80%93Christensen%20model | In physics, in the area of dynamical systems, the Olami–Feder–Christensen model is an earthquake model conjectured to be an example of self-organized criticality where local exchange dynamics are not conservative. Despite the original claims of the authors and subsequent claims of other authors such as Lise, whether or... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical%20speed | In solid mechanics, in the field of rotordynamics, the critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity that excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft, propeller, leadscrew, or gear. As the speed of rotation approaches the object's natural frequency, the object begins to resonate, which dra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munc-18 | Munc-18 (an acronym for mammalian uncoordinated-18) proteins are the mammalian homologue of UNC-18 (which was first discovered in the nematode worm C. elegans) and are a member of the Sec1/Munc18-like (SM) protein family. Munc-18 proteins have been identified as essential components of the synaptic vesicle fusion prote... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black%20Chamber | The Black Chamber (1919–1929), also known as the Cipher Bureau, was the United States' first peacetime cryptanalytic organization, and a forerunner of the National Security Agency. The only prior codes and cypher organizations maintained by the US government had been some intermittent, and always abandoned, attempts by... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricholoma%20robustum | Tricholoma robustum is an edible mycorrhizal mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae. In Japan it is called matsutake-modoki (pseudo-matsutake), and colloquially referred to as obasan no matsutake ("old lady's matsutake"), because it resembles matsutake mushroom while being smaller and less aromatic and tasty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton%20spin%20crisis | The proton spin crisis (or proton spin puzzle) is a theoretical crisis precipitated by a 1987 experiment by the European Muon Collaboration (EMC),
which tried to determine the distribution of spin within the proton.
Physicists expected that the quarks carry all a proton's spin. However, not only was the total proton s... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stria%20vascularis%20of%20cochlear%20duct | The stria vascularis of the cochlear duct is a capillary loop in the upper portion of the spiral ligament (the outer wall of the cochlear duct). It produces endolymph for the scala media in the cochlea.
Structure
The stria vascularis is part of the lateral wall of the cochlear duct. It is a somewhat stratified epithe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggression%20in%20cattle | Aggression in cattle is usually a result of fear, learning, and hormonal state, however, many other factors can contribute to aggressive behaviors in cattle.
Despite the fact that Bulls (uncastrated male cattle) are generally significantly more aggressive than cows, there are far more reported cases of cows attacking ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactivation | In the context of gene regulation: transactivation is the increased rate of gene expression triggered either by biological processes or by artificial means, through the expression of an intermediate transactivator protein.
In the context of receptor signaling, transactivation occurs when one or more receptors activa... |
