https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun%20harmonisation | In aerial gunnery, gun harmonisation, convergence pattern, convergence zone, convergence point or bore-sight point refers to the aiming of fixed guns or cannon carried in the wings of a fighter aircraft.
The wing guns in fighters were typically not bore-sighted to point straight ahead; instead they were aimed slightly... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal%20plasticity | Crystal plasticity is a mesoscale computational technique that takes into account crystallographic anisotropy in modelling the mechanical behaviour of polycrystalline materials. The technique has typically been used to study deformation through the process of slip, however, there are some flavors of crystal plasticity... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth%20function | In logic, a truth function is a function that accepts truth values as input and produces a unique truth value as output. In other words: The input and output of a truth function are all truth values; a truth function will always output exactly one truth value; and inputting the same truth value(s) will always output th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-Method | The B method is a method of software development based on B, a tool-supported formal method based on an abstract machine notation, used in the development of computer software.
Overview
B was originally developed in the 1980s by Jean-Raymond Abrial in France and the UK. B is related to the Z notation (also originated ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple%20Service%20Discovery%20Protocol | The Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) is a network protocol based on the Internet protocol suite for advertisement and discovery of network services and presence information. It accomplishes this without assistance of server-based configuration mechanisms, such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or Do... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suillus%20grevillei | Suillus grevillei (commonly known as Greville's bolete and larch bolete) is a mycorrhizal mushroom with a tight, brilliantly coloured cap, shiny and wet looking with its mucous slime layer. The hymenium easily separates from the flesh of the cap, with a central stalk that is quite slender. The species has a ring or a t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pliohippus | Pliohippus (Greek (, "more") and (, "horse")) is an extinct genus of Equidae, the "horse family". Pliohippus arose in the middle Miocene, around 15 million years ago. The long and slim limbs of Pliohippus reveal a quick-footed steppe animal. While some specimens have one toe per leg, others have three (the main toe a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical%20decoupling | Dynamical decoupling (DD) is an open-loop quantum control technique employed in quantum computing to suppress decoherence by taking advantage of rapid, time-dependent control modulation. In its simplest form, DD is implemented by periodic sequences of instantaneous control pulses, whose net effect is to approximately ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RiskMetrics | The RiskMetrics variance model (also known as exponential smoother) was first established in 1989, when Sir Dennis Weatherstone, the new chairman of J.P. Morgan, asked for a daily report measuring and explaining the risks of his firm. Nearly four years later in 1992, J.P. Morgan launched the RiskMetrics methodology to ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleurotus%20citrinopileatus | Pleurotus citrinopileatus, the golden oyster mushroom (tamogitake in Japanese), is an edible gilled fungus. Native to eastern Russia, northern China, and Japan, the golden oyster mushroom is very closely related to P. cornucopiae of Europe, with some authors considering them to be at the rank of subspecies. In far ea... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteprint | Whiteprint describes a document reproduction produced by using the diazo chemical process. It is also known as the blue-line process since the result is blue lines on a white background. It is a contact printing process which accurately reproduces the original in size, but cannot reproduce continuous tones or colors. T... |
