https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionic%20Coulomb%20blockade | Ionic Coulomb blockade (ICB) is an electrostatic phenomenon that appears in ionic transport through mesoscopic electro-diffusive systems (artificial nanopores and biological ion channels) and manifests itself as oscillatory dependences of the conductance on the fixed charge in the pore ( or on the external voltage , o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factitious%20airs | Factitious airs was a term used for synthetic gases which emerged around 1670 when Robert Boyle coined the term upon isolating what is now understood to be hydrogen. Factitious means "artificial, not natural", so the term means "man-made gases".
Background
Robert Boyle coined the term Factitious Air upon isolating hy... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-%CE%BA%20dielectric | In the semiconductor industry, the term high-κ dielectric refers to a material with a high dielectric constant (κ, kappa), as compared to silicon dioxide. High-κ dielectrics are used in semiconductor manufacturing processes where they are usually used to replace a silicon dioxide gate dielectric or another dielectric ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMEM248 | Transmembrane protein 248, also known as C7orf42, is a gene that in humans encodes the TMEM248 protein. This gene contains multiple transmembrane domains and is composed of seven exons.TMEM248 is predicted to be a component of the plasma membrane and be involved in vesicular trafficking. It has low tissue specificity, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate | The prostate () is both an accessory gland of the male reproductive system and a muscle-driven mechanical switch between urination and ejaculation. It is found in all male mammals. It differs between species anatomically, chemically, and physiologically. Anatomically, the prostate is found below the bladder, with the u... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QCD%20vacuum | The QCD vacuum is the quantum vacuum state of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is an example of a non-perturbative vacuum state, characterized by non-vanishing condensates such as the gluon condensate and the quark condensate in the complete theory which includes quarks. The presence of these condensates characterizes ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envy-graph%20procedure | The envy-graph procedure (also called the envy-cycles procedure) is a procedure for fair item allocation. It can be used by several people who want to divide among them several discrete items, such as heirlooms, sweets, or seats in a class.
Ideally, we would like the allocation to be envy-free (EF). i.e., to give eac... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-gap%20theorem | In mathematics, the three-gap theorem, three-distance theorem, or Steinhaus conjecture states that if one places points on a circle, at angles of , , , ... from the starting point, then there will be at most three distinct distances between pairs of points in adjacent positions around the circle. When there are three ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIDC20 | The VIDC20 was a video display controller chip created as an accompanying chip to the ARM CPU as used in RiscPC computer systems.
A simpler version of the VIDC20, the VIDC1, was used in the earlier Acorn Archimedes computers.
A VIDC20 chip controls both the computer's video and sound.
The data is read from the 64-bi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olry%20Terquem | Olry Terquem (16 June 1782 – 6 May 1862) was a French mathematician. He is known for his works in geometry and for founding two scientific journals, one of which was the first journal about the history of mathematics. He was also the pseudonymous author (as Tsarphati) of a sequence of letters advocating radical reform ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron%20cyclotron%20resonance | Electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) is a phenomenon observed in plasma physics, condensed matter physics, and accelerator physics. It happens when the frequency of incident radiation coincides with the natural frequency of rotation of electrons in magnetic fields. A free electron in a static and uniform magnetic field w... |
