Bragg allegedly said, "Here we are just walking in the rain, and wondering wh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latarcin | Latarcins are short antimicrobial peptides from the venom of the spider Lachesana tarabaevi. Latarcins adopt an amphipathic alpha-helical structure in the plasma membrane. Possible pharmacological applications for latarcins include antimicrobial and anticancer treatments. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Read-mostly%20memory | Read-mostly memory (RMM) is a type of memory that can be read fast, but written to only slowly.
Historically, the term was used to refer to different types of memory over time:
In 1970, it was used by Intel and Energy Conversion Devices to refer to a new type of amorphous and crystalline nonvolatile and reprogrammabl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnon | A magnon is a quasiparticle, a collective excitation of the spin structure of an electron in a crystal lattice. In the equivalent wave picture of quantum mechanics, a magnon can be viewed as a quantized spin wave. Magnons carry a fixed amount of energy and lattice momentum, and are spin-1, indicating they obey boson ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grazing%20%28behaviour%29 | Grazing is a method of feeding in which a herbivore feeds on low-growing plants such as grasses or other multicellular organisms, such as algae. Many species of animals can be said to be grazers, from large animals such as hippopotamuses to small aquatic snails. Grazing behaviour is a type of feeding strategy within th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaphoid%20fossa | In the pterygoid processes of the sphenoid, above the pterygoid fossa is a small, oval, shallow depression, the scaphoid fossa, which gives origin to the Tensor veli palatini.
It is not the same as and has to be distinguished from the scaphoid fossa of the external ear or pinna. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Height%20above%20mean%20sea%20level | Height above mean sea level is a measure of the vertical distance (height, elevation or altitude) of a location in reference to a historic mean sea level taken as a vertical datum. In geodesy, it is formalized as orthometric heights.
The quantity is called "metres above mean sea level" in the metric system, while in U... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen%20diffusion-enhancing%20compound | An oxygen diffusion-enhancing compound is any substance that increases the availability of oxygen in body tissues by influencing the molecular structure of water in blood plasma and thereby promoting the movement (diffusion) of oxygen through plasma. Oxygen diffusion-enhancing compounds have shown promise in the treatm... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium%20tailings | Uranium tailings or uranium tails are a radioactive waste byproduct (tailings) of conventional uranium mining and uranium enrichment. They contain the radioactive decay products from the uranium decay chains, mainly the U-238 chain, and heavy metals. Long-term storage or disposal of tailings may pose a danger for publi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android%20Go | Android Go, officially Android (Go edition), is a stripped-down version of the Android operating system, designed for low-end and ultra-budget smartphones (but is also used by some tablets). However, it is intended for smartphones with 2 or less GB of RAM and was first made available for Android Oreo. This mode has pla... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Website%20localization | Website localization is the process of adapting an existing website to local language and culture in the target market. It is the process of adapting a website into a different linguistic and cultural context— involving much more than the simple translation of text. This modification process must reflect specific langu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kane%20S.%20Yee | Kane Shee-Gong Yee (born March 26, 1934) is a Chinese-American electrical engineer and mathematician. He is best known for introducing the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD) in 1966.
His research interests include numerical electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, continuum mechanics and numerical analysis of parti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsionless%20module | In abstract algebra, a module M over a ring R is called torsionless if it can be embedded into some direct product RI. Equivalently, M is torsionless if each non-zero element of M has non-zero image under some R-linear functional f:
This notion was introduced by Hyman Bass.
Properties and examples

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillies%27%20conjecture | In number theory, Gillies' conjecture is a conjecture about the distribution of prime divisors of Mersenne numbers and was made by Donald B. Gillies in a 1964 paper in which he also announced the discovery of three new Mersenne primes. The conjecture is a specialization of the prime number theorem and is a refinement o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aliquot%20stringing | Aliquot stringing is the use of extra, un-struck strings in a piano for the purpose of enriching the tone. Aliquot systems use an additional (hence fourth) string in each note of the top three piano octaves. This string is positioned slightly above the other three strings so that it is not struck by the hammer. Wheneve... |
