https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BDII | The BDII, which stands for Berkeley Database Information Index, is an information system for Grid Computing infrastructures. It consists of a standard LDAP server which is updated by an external process. The update process obtains LDIF from a number of sources and merges them. It then compares this to the contents of t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic%20set | In dynamical systems theory, a subset Λ of a smooth manifold M is said to have a hyperbolic structure with respect to a smooth map f if its tangent bundle may be split into two invariant subbundles, one of which is contracting and the other is expanding under f, with respect to some Riemannian metric on M. An analogous... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product%20change%20notification | A product change notification (PCN) is a document issued by a manufacturer to inform customers about a change to a mass-produced product or its manufacturing process. In the semi-conductor industry, the JEDEC standard J-STD-046 describes the requirements for product change notifications and examples of types of changes... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutein | Lutein (; from Latin luteus meaning "yellow") is a xanthophyll and one of 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. Lutein is synthesized only by plants, and like other xanthophylls is found in high quantities in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and yellow carrots. In green plants, xanthophylls act to modu... |

For the past 18 years, ESC monitored and studied Hawksbill turtle nesting sites in Qata... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welch%20bounds | In mathematics, Welch bounds are a family of inequalities pertinent to the problem of evenly spreading a set of unit vectors in a vector space. The bounds are important tools in the design and analysis of certain methods in telecommunication engineering, particularly in coding theory. The bounds were originally publish... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin%20item%20allocation | Round robin is a procedure for fair item allocation. It can be used to allocate several indivisible items among several people, such that the allocation is "almost" envy-free: each agent believes that the bundle he received is at least as good as the bundle of any other agent, when at most one item is removed from the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple%20file%20verification | Simple file verification (SFV) is a file format for storing CRC32 checksums of files to verify the integrity of files. SFV is used to verify that a file has not been corrupted, but it does not otherwise verify the file's authenticity. The .sfv file extension is usually used for SFV files.
