https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird%20migration | Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south, along a flyway, between breeding and wintering grounds. Many species of bird migrate. Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by the availability of food. It occurs mainly i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wigner%20crystal | A Wigner crystal is the solid (crystalline) phase of electrons first predicted by Eugene Wigner in 1934. A gas of electrons moving in a uniform, inert, neutralizing background (i.e. Jellium Model) will crystallize and form a lattice if the electron density is less than a critical value. This is because the potential en... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating%20locomotion%20in%20living%20systems | Several organisms are capable of rolling locomotion. However, true wheels and propellers—despite their utility in human vehicles—do not play a significant role in the movement of living things (with the exception of certain flagella, which work like corkscrews). Biologists have offered several explanations for the appa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media%20History%20Digital%20Library | The Media History Digital Library (MHDL) is a non-profit, open access digital archive founded by David Pierce and directed by Eric Hoyt that compiles books, magazines, and other print materials related to the histories of film, broadcasting, and recorded sound and makes these materials accessible online for free. The M... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardiness%20zone | A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (U... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridial%20Cytotoxin%20family | The Clostridial Cytotoxin (CCT) Family (TC# 1.C.57) is a member of the RTX-toxin superfamily. There are currently 13 classified members belonging to the CCT family. A representative list of these proteins is available in the Transporter Classification Database. Homologues are found in a variety of Gram-positive and Gra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vision-guided%20robot%20systems | A vision-guided robot (VGR) system is basically a robot fitted with one or more cameras used as sensors to provide a secondary feedback signal to the robot controller to more accurately move to a variable target position. VGR is rapidly transforming production processes by enabling robots to be highly adaptable and mor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Atari%20Jaguar%20homebrew%20games | This is a list of titles for the Atari Jaguar and its CD add-on developed and released by independent developers and publishers. Many of the games present here have been released long after the end of the console's official life span in 1996, with the last officially licensed title released in 1998. Consequently, these... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictyate | The dictyate or dictyotene is a prolonged resting phase in oogenesis. It occurs in the stage of meiotic prophase I in ootidogenesis. It starts late in fetal life and is terminated shortly before ovulation by the LH surge. Thus, although the majority of oocytes are produced in female fetuses before birth, these pre-eggs... |
