The calculation of the electric field vectors is based on a rigorous, vectorial model that takes polarization effects in the near-focus region and high num... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocrine%20signaling | Autocrine signaling is a form of cell signaling in which a cell secretes a hormone or chemical messenger (called the autocrine agent) that binds to autocrine receptors on that same cell, leading to changes in the cell. This can be contrasted with paracrine signaling, intracrine signaling, or classical endocrine signali... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interaction%20nets | Interaction nets are a graphical model of computation devised by Yves Lafont in 1990 as a generalisation of the proof structures of linear logic. An interaction net system is specified by a set of agent types and a set of interaction rules. Interaction nets are an inherently distributed model of computation in the sens... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level%20language%20computer%20architecture | A high-level language computer architecture (HLLCA) is a computer architecture designed to be targeted by a specific high-level programming language (HLL), rather than the architecture being dictated by hardware considerations. It is accordingly also termed language-directed computer design, coined in and primarily us... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ter-Antonyan%20function | The Ter-Antonyan function parameterizes the energy spectra of primary cosmic rays in the "knee" region ( eV) by the continuously differentiable function of energy taking into account the rate of change of spectral slope. The function is expressed as:
where is a scale factor, and are the asymptotic slopes of the fu... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%20Topological%20Picturebook | A Topological Picturebook is a book on mathematical visualization in low-dimensional topology by George K. Francis. It was originally published by Springer in 1987, and reprinted in paperback in 2007. The Basic Library List Committee of the Mathematical Association of America has recommended its inclusion in undergradu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achilles%20number | An Achilles number is a number that is powerful but not a perfect power. A positive integer is a powerful number if, for every prime factor of , is also a divisor. In other words, every prime factor appears at least squared in the factorization. All Achilles numbers are powerful. However, not all powerful numbers ar... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit%20design | The process of circuit design can cover systems ranging from complex electronic systems down to the individual transistors within an integrated circuit. One person can often do the design process without needing a planned or structured design process for simple circuits. Still, teams of designers following a systemati... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signomial | A signomial is an algebraic function of one or more independent variables. It is perhaps most easily thought of as an algebraic extension of multivariable polynomials—an extension that permits exponents to be arbitrary real numbers (rather than just non-negative integers) while requiring the independent variables to b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-dimensional%20gas | A two-dimensional gas is a collection of objects constrained to move in a planar or other two-dimensional space in a gaseous state. The objects can be: classical ideal gas elements such as rigid disks undergoing elastic collisions; elementary particles, or any ensemble of individual objects in physics which obeys laws ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela%20Olinto | Angela Villela Olinto (born July 19, 1961) is an astroparticle physicist and the Albert A. Michelson Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago as well as the dean of the Physical Sciences Division. Her current work is focused on understanding the origin of high-energy cosmic rays, gamma rays, and neu... |
