https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic%20flow%20%28computer%20networking%29 | In packet switching networks, traffic flow, packet flow or network flow is a sequence of packets from a source computer to a destination, which may be another host, a multicast group, or a broadcast domain. RFC 2722 defines traffic flow as "an artificial logical equivalent to a call or connection." RFC 3697 defines tra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion%20%28taxonomy%29 | In taxonomy, inclusion is the process whereby two species that were believed to be distinct are found in fact to be the same and are thus combined as one species. Which name is kept for this unified species is sometimes a cause of debate, but generally it is the earlier-named one, and the other species is said to be "i... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weighted%20geometric%20mean | In statistics, the weighted geometric mean is a generalization of the geometric mean using the weighted arithmetic mean.
Given a sample and weights , it is calculated as:
The second form above illustrates that the logarithm of the geometric mean is the weighted arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual val... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consensus%20%28computer%20science%29 | A fundamental problem in distributed computing and multi-agent systems is to achieve overall system reliability in the presence of a number of faulty processes. This often requires coordinating processes to reach consensus, or agree on some data value that is needed during computation. Example applications of consensus... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afterload | Afterload is the pressure that the heart must work against to eject blood during systole (ventricular contraction). Afterload is proportional to the average arterial pressure. As aortic and pulmonary pressures increase, the afterload increases on the left and right ventricles respectively. Afterload changes to adapt t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20contaminated%20cell%20lines | Many cell lines that are widely used for biomedical research have been overgrown by other, more aggressive cells. For example, supposed thyroid lines were actually melanoma cells, supposed prostate tissue was actually bladder cancer, and supposed normal uterine cultures were actually breast cancer. This is a list of ce... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic%20resolution | In organic chemistry, kinetic resolution is a means of differentiating two enantiomers in a racemic mixture. In kinetic resolution, two enantiomers react with different reaction rates in a chemical reaction with a chiral catalyst or reagent, resulting in an enantioenriched sample of the less reactive enantiomer. As op... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy%20operator | In quantum mechanics, energy is defined in terms of the energy operator, acting on the wave function of the system as a consequence of time translation symmetry.
Definition
It is given by:
It acts on the wave function (the probability amplitude for different configurations of the system)
Application
The energy ope... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital%20pathology | Digital pathology is a sub-field of pathology that focuses on data management based on information generated from digitized specimen slides. Through the use of computer-based technology, digital pathology utilizes virtual microscopy. Glass slides are converted into digital slides that can be viewed, managed, shared and... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvia | Microvias are used as the interconnects between layers in high density interconnect (HDI) substrates and printed circuit boards (PCBs) to accommodate the high input/output (I/O) density of advanced packages. Driven by portability and wireless communications, the electronics industry strives to produce affordable, light... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitruvian%20scroll | The Vitruvian scroll is a scroll pattern used in architectural moldings and borders in other media. It is also known as the Vitruvian wave, wave scroll, or running dog pattern. The pattern resembles waves in water or a series of parchment scrolls viewed on end.
"Vitruvian" refers to the Roman architect Marcus Vitruv... |
