Application Lifecycle Framework (ALF) was an Eclipse Foundation project to develop an open framework for system integration and interoperability for application lifecycle management tools. The project failed to gain the support of significant vendors and was terminated in 2008. See also ISO/IEC 12207, this is an int...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depletion%20and%20enhancement%20modes
In field-effect transistors (FETs), depletion mode and enhancement mode are two major transistor types, corresponding to whether the transistor is in an on state or an off state at zero gate–source voltage. Enhancement-mode MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor FETs) are the common switching elements in most integrated c...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakened%20weak%20form
Weakened weak form (or W2 form) is used in the formulation of general numerical methods based on meshfree methods and/or finite element method settings. These numerical methods are applicable to solid mechanics as well as fluid dynamics problems. Description For simplicity we choose elasticity problems (2nd order PD...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos%20machine
In mathematics, a chaos machine is a class of algorithms constructed on the base of chaos theory (mainly deterministic chaos) to produce pseudo-random oracle. It represents the idea of creating a universal scheme with modular design and customizable parameters, which can be applied wherever randomness and sensitiveness...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantle%20plume
A mantle plume is a proposed mechanism of convection within the Earth's mantle, hypothesized to explain anomalous volcanism. Because the plume head partially melts on reaching shallow depths, a plume is often invoked as the cause of volcanic hotspots, such as Hawaii or Iceland, and large igneous provinces such as the D...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near-field%20radiative%20heat%20transfer
Near-field radiative heat transfer (NFRHT) is a branch of radiative heat transfer which deals with situations for which the objects and/or distances separating objects are comparable or smaller in scale or to the dominant wavelength of thermal radiation exchanging thermal energy. In this regime, the assumptions of geom...
