Operating system
The compute nodes of the IBM Blue Gene family of supercomputers run CNK, a lightweight kernel that runs on each node and supports one application running for one user on that node. To maximize ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST%2010859 | GOST 10859 (1964) is a standard of the Soviet Union which defined how to encode data on punched cards. This standard allowed a variable word size, depending on the type of data being encoded, but only uppercase characters.
These include the non-ASCII “decimal exponent symbol” . It was used to express real numbers in s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCllerian%20mimicry | Müllerian mimicry is a natural phenomenon in which two or more well-defended species, often foul-tasting and sharing common predators, have come to mimic each other's honest warning signals, to their mutual benefit. The benefit to Müllerian mimics is that predators only need one unpleasant encounter with one member of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP11%20family | Cytochrome P450, family 11, also known as CYP11, is a chordate cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family. This family contains many enzymes involved in steroidogenesis, such as Cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11A1), Steroid 11β-hydroxylase (CYP11B1) and Aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2). CYP11 can be divided into A ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borel%20equivalence%20relation | In mathematics, a Borel equivalence relation on a Polish space X is an equivalence relation on X that is a Borel subset of X × X (in the product topology).
Given Borel equivalence relations E and F on Polish spaces X and Y respectively, one says that E is Borel reducible to F, in symbols E ≤B F, if and only if there i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cysteine-rich%20secretory%20protein | Cysteine-rich secretory proteins, often abbreviated as CRISPs, are a group of glycoproteins. They are a subgroup of the CRISP, antigen 5 and Pr-1 (CAP) protein superfamily and also contain a domain related to the ShK toxins. They are substantially implicated in the functioning of the mammalian reproductive system. CRIS... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleocosmochronology | Nucleocosmochronology or nuclear cosmochronology is a technique used to determine timescales for astrophysical objects and events.
To calculate the age of formation of astronomical objects, the observed ratios of abundances of heavy radioactive and stable nuclides are compared to the primordial ratios predicted by nuc... |
