In general nemoral means "pertaining to groves or woodland". Its origin is related to the Latin word "nemus" (stem: "nemor-"), meaning a grove of trees. It is especially used to label a type of biome (vegetation zone), which is in the temperate zone of Eurasia and has broad-leaved forests. According to the Walter cl...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical%20cluster%20state
Optical cluster states are a proposed tool to achieve quantum computational universality in linear optical quantum computing (LOQC). As direct entangling operations with photons often require nonlinear effects, probabilistic generation of entangled resource states has been proposed as an alternative path to the direct ...

A hemocyte is a cell that plays a role in the immune system of invertebrates. It is found within the hemolymph. Hemocytes are phagocytes of invertebrates. Hemocytes in Drosophila melanogaster can be divided into two categories: embryonic and larval. Embryonic hemocytes are derived from head mesoderm and enter the hem...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiviral%20protein
Antiviral proteins are proteins that are induced by human or animal cells to interfere with viral replication. These proteins are isolated to inhibit the virus from replicating in a host's cells and stop it from spreading to other cells. The Pokeweed antiviral protein and the Zinc-Finger antiviral protein are two major...

The Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker metric (FLRW; ) is a metric based on the exact solution of the Einstein field equations of general relativity. The metric describes a homogeneous, isotropic, expanding (or otherwise, contracting) universe that is path-connected, but not necessarily simply connected. The general f...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popescu%27s%20theorem
In commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, Popescu's theorem, introduced by Dorin Popescu, states: Let A be a Noetherian ring and B a Noetherian algebra over it. Then, the structure map A → B is a regular homomorphism if and only if B is a direct limit of smooth A-algebras. For example, if A is a local G-ring (e.g...
