The lateral circumflex femoral artery (also known as the lateral femoral circumflex artery, or the external circumflex artery) is an artery in the upper thigh. It is usually a branch of the profunda femoris artery, and produces three branches. It is mostly distributed to the muscles of the lateral thigh, supplying arte...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six%20exponentials%20theorem
In mathematics, specifically transcendental number theory, the six exponentials theorem is a result that, given the right conditions on the exponents, guarantees the transcendence of at least one of a set of exponentials. Statement If x1, x2, ..., xd are d complex numbers that are linearly independent over the ration...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmeta%20Efficeon
The Efficeon (stylized as efficēon) processor is Transmeta's second-generation 256-bit VLIW design released in 2004 which employs a software engine Code Morphing Software (CMS) to convert code written for x86 processors to the native instruction set of the chip. Like its predecessor, the Transmeta Crusoe (a 128-bit VL...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieving%20coefficient
In mass transfer, the sieving coefficient is a measure of equilibration between the concentrations of two mass transfer streams. It is defined as the mean pre- and post-contact concentration of the mass receiving stream divided by the pre- and post-contact concentration of the mass donating stream. where S is the si...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta-sigma%20modulation
Delta-sigma (ΔΣ; or sigma-delta, ΣΔ) modulation is an oversampling method for encoding signals into low bit depth digital signals at a very high sample-frequency as part of the process of delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Delta-sigma modulation achieves high qualit...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halorhabdus%20tiamatea
Halorhabdus tiamatea is a halophilic archaeon isolated from the Red Sea. With its extremely high salinity optimum of 27% NaCl, Halorhabdus has one of the highest reported salinity optima of any living organism. Genome structure The genome of Halorhabdus was sequenced in August 2014. The G + C content of its DNA is es...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenXPKI
The OpenXPKI project stewards an open-source Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) software. History The OpenXPKI project commenced 2005 and began to produce usable software from 2010 but choose to take a precautionary approach with the first production level release in 2015. The approach taken was to create a modular sys...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typed%20assembly%20language
In computer science, a typed assembly language (TAL) is an assembly language that is extended to include a method of annotating the datatype of each value that is manipulated by the code. These annotations can then be used by a program (type checker) that processes the assembly language code in order to analyse how it ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrative%20nucleoside%20transporter
Human concentrative nucleoside transporters include SLC28A1, SLC28A2 and SLC28A3 proteins. SLC28A2 is a purine-specific Na+-nucleoside cotransporter localised to the bile canalicular membrane. SLC28A1 is a Na+-dependent nucleoside transporter selective for pyrimidine nucleosides and adenosine. It also transports the an...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling%20point
The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid equals the pressure surrounding the liquid and the liquid changes into a vapor. The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure. A liquid in a partial vacuum, i.e., under a lower pres...
