https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference%20in%20differences | Difference in differences (DID or DD) is a statistical technique used in econometrics and quantitative research in the social sciences that attempts to mimic an experimental research design using observational study data, by studying the differential effect of a treatment on a 'treatment group' versus a 'control group... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic%20filter | Electronic filters are a type of signal processing filter in the form of electrical circuits. This article covers those filters consisting of lumped electronic components, as opposed to distributed-element filters. That is, using components and interconnections that, in analysis, can be considered to exist at a singl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rkhunter | rkhunter (Rootkit Hunter) is a Unix-based tool that scans for rootkits, backdoors and possible local exploits. It does this by comparing SHA-1 hashes of important files with known good ones in online databases, searching for default directories (of rootkits), wrong permissions, hidden files, suspicious strings in kern... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazhdan%E2%80%93Lusztig%20polynomial | In the mathematical field of representation theory, a Kazhdan–Lusztig polynomial is a member of a family of integral polynomials introduced by . They are indexed by pairs of elements y, w of a Coxeter group W, which can in particular be the Weyl group of a Lie group.
Motivation and history
In the spring of 1978 Kazh... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxyselenide | Oxyselenides are a group of chemical compounds that contain oxygen and selenium atoms (Figure 1). Oxyselenides can form a wide range of structures in compounds containing various transition metals, and thus can exhibit a wide range of properties. Most importantly, oxyselenides have a wide range of thermal conductivity,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekatron | In electronics, a Dekatron (or Decatron, or generically three-phase gas counting tube or glow-transfer counting tube or cold cathode tube) is a gas-filled decade counting tube. Dekatrons were used in computers, calculators, and other counting-related products during the 1950s and 1960s. "Dekatron" was the brand name us... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta%20representation | In mathematics, the theta representation is a particular representation of the Heisenberg group of quantum mechanics. It gains its name from the fact that the Jacobi theta function is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup of the Heisenberg group. The representation was popularized by David Mumford.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion%20beam%20deposition | Ion beam deposition (IBD) is a process of applying materials to a target through the application of an ion beam.
An ion beam deposition apparatus typically consists of an ion source, ion optics, and the deposition target. Optionally a mass analyzer can be incorporated.
In the ion source source materials in the form o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic%20quantum%20analogs | In physics, the hydrodynamic quantum analogs refer to experimentally-observed phenomena involving bouncing fluid droplets over a vibrating fluid bath that behave analogously to several quantum-mechanical systems.
A droplet can be made to bounce indefinitely in a stationary position on a vibrating fluid surface. This ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image%20subtraction | Image subtraction or pixel subtraction or difference imaging is an image processing technique whereby the digital numeric value of one pixel or whole image is subtracted from another image and generating an image based on the result. This is primarily done for one of two reasons – levelling uneven sections of an image ... |
