https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscheius
Oscheius is a genus of nematode. O. tipulae is a satellite developmental genetic model organism used to study vulva formation. In phylogenetic studies, based on the analysis of sequences of three nuclear genes, Oscheius groups with Caenorhabditis species and the Diploscapter, Protorhabditis and Prodontorhabditis 'Pr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro-oxidant
Pro-oxidants are chemicals that induce oxidative stress, either by generating reactive oxygen species or by inhibiting antioxidant systems. The oxidative stress produced by these chemicals can damage cells and tissues, for example, an overdose of the analgesic paracetamol (acetaminophen) can fatally damage the liver, p...

The IBM 650 Magnetic Drum Data-Processing Machine is an early digital computer produced by IBM in the mid-1950s. It was the first mass produced computer in the world. Almost 2,000 systems were produced, the last in 1962, and it was the first computer to make a meaningful profit. The first one was installed in late 1954...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridging%20fault
In electronic engineering, a bridging fault consists of two signals that are connected when they should not be. Depending on the logic circuitry employed, this may result in a wired-OR or wired-AND logic function. Since there are O(n^2) potential bridging faults, they are normally restricted to signals that are physica...

The Uhlenhuth Research Laboratory of the University of Freiburg, originally known as the State Research Laboratory (), was a research institute in the field of medical microbiology and infectious diseases in Freiburg, Germany. It was established in 1936 with funding from the German Research Council for the world-renown...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal%20basis
In mathematics, specifically the algebraic theory of fields, a normal basis is a special kind of basis for Galois extensions of finite degree, characterised as forming a single orbit for the Galois group. The normal basis theorem states that any finite Galois extension of fields has a normal basis. In algebraic number...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baryogenesis
In physical cosmology, baryogenesis (also known as baryosynthesis) is the physical process that is hypothesized to have taken place during the early universe to produce baryonic asymmetry, i.e. the imbalance of matter (baryons) and antimatter (antibaryons) in the observed universe. One of the outstanding problems in m...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy%20memory%20allocation
The buddy memory allocation technique is a memory allocation algorithm that divides memory into partitions to try to satisfy a memory request as suitably as possible. This system makes use of splitting memory into halves to try to give a best fit. According to Donald Knuth, the buddy system was invented in 1963 by Har...
