AT&T and Xerox bought rights to rebadge the system as the AT&T PC 6300 and the Xerox 6060 series, respectively. (AT&T owned 25% of O...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release%20consistency
Release consistency is one of the synchronization-based consistency models used in concurrent programming (e.g. in distributed shared memory, distributed transactions etc.). Introduction In modern parallel computing systems, memory consistency must be maintained to avoid undesirable outcomes. Strict consistency model...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cystobasidium
Cystobasidium is a genus of fungi in the order Cystobasidiales. The type species is a fungal parasite forming small gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on various ascomycetous fungi (including Lasiobolus and Thelebolus spp) on dung. Microscopically, it has auricularioid (laterally septate) basidia producing basidios...

In mathematics, weak convergence in a Hilbert space is convergence of a sequence of points in the weak topology. Definition A sequence of points in a Hilbert space H is said to converge weakly to a point x in H if for all y in H. Here, is understood to be the inner product on the Hilbert space. The notation is so...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasodilation
Vasodilation, also known as vasorelaxation, is the widening of blood vessels. It results from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, in particular in the large veins, large arteries, and smaller arterioles. The process is the opposite of vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels. W...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladd%27s%20bands
Ladd's bands, sometimes called bands of Ladd, are fibrous stalks of peritoneal tissue that attach the cecum to the retroperitoneum in the right lower quadrant (RLQ). Obstructing Ladd's Bands are associated with malrotation of the intestine, a developmental disorder in which the cecum is found in the right upper quadran...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionized%20impurity%20scattering
In quantum mechanics, ionized impurity scattering is the scattering of charge carriers by ionization in the lattice. The most primitive models can be conceptually understood as a particle responding to unbalanced local charge that arises near a crystal impurity; similar to an electron encountering an electric field. Th...

The Alpine Biogeographic Region is a biogeographic region, as defined by the European Environment Agency, that covers the mountainous regions of Europe. Extent The Alpine biogeographic region of Europe includes the Alps in France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland and Monaco, the Apennines in Italy, the ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KCNK9
Potassium channel subfamily K member 9 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KCNK9 gene. This gene encodes K2P9.1, one of the members of the superfamily of potassium channel proteins containing two pore-forming P domains. This open channel is highly expressed in the cerebellum. It is inhibited by extracellular...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZetaGrid
ZetaGrid was at one time the largest distributed computing project, designed to explore the non-trivial roots of the Riemann zeta function, checking over one billion roots a day. Roots of the zeta function are of particular interest in mathematics; a single root out of alignment would disprove the Riemann hypothesis, ...

Microbial biodegradation is the use of bioremediation and biotransformation methods to harness the naturally occurring ability of microbial xenobiotic metabolism to degrade, transform or accumulate environmental pollutants, including hydrocarbons (e.g. oil), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paclobutrazol
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is the ISO common name for an organic compound that is used as a plant growth retardant and triazole fungicide. It is a known antagonist of the plant hormone gibberellin, acting by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, reducing internodal growth to give stouter stems, increasing root growth, causing...
