https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre%20Varignon | Pierre Varignon (1654 – 23 December 1722) was a French mathematician. He was educated at the Jesuit College and the University of Caen, where he received his M.A. in 1682. He took Holy Orders the following year.
Varignon gained his first exposure to mathematics by reading Euclid and then Descartes' La Géométrie. He b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent%20wood%20composite | Transparent wood composites are novel wood materials which have up to 90% transparency. Some have better mechanical properties than wood itself. They were made for the first time in 1992. These materials are significantly more biodegradable than glass and plastics. Transparent wood is also shatterproof.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methuselah%20%28cellular%20automaton%29 | In cellular automata, a methuselah is a small "seed" pattern of initial live cells that take a large number of generations in order to stabilize. More specifically, Martin Gardner defines them as patterns of fewer than ten live cells which take longer than 50 generations to stabilize, although some patterns that are la... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickled%20egg | Pickled eggs are typically hard-boiled eggs that are cured in vinegar or brine. As with many foods, this was originally a way to preserve the food so that it could be eaten months later. Pickled eggs have since become a favorite among many as a snack or hors d'œuvre popular in pubs, bars, and taverns, and around the wo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean%20body%20mass | Lean body mass (LBM), sometimes conflated with , is a component of body composition. Fat-free mass (FFM) is calculated by subtracting body fat weight from total body weight: total body weight is lean plus fat. In equations:
LBM = BW − BF
Lean body mass equals body weight minus body fat
LBM + BF = BW
Lean body mass plu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech%20recognition%20software%20for%20Linux | As of the early 2000s, several speech recognition (SR) software packages exist for Linux. Some of them are free and open-source software and others are proprietary software. Speech recognition usually refers to software that attempts to distinguish thousands of words in a human language. Voice control may refer to soft... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold%20Standard%20%28carbon%20offset%20standard%29 | The Gold Standard (GS), or Gold Standard for the Global Goals, is a standard and logo certification mark program, for non-governmental emission reductions projects, in the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the Voluntary Carbon Market and other climate and development interventions. It is published and administered by ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relations%20between%20heat%20capacities | In thermodynamics, the heat capacity at constant volume, , and the heat capacity at constant pressure, , are extensive properties that have the magnitude of energy divided by temperature.
Relations
The laws of thermodynamics imply the following relations between these two heat capacities (Gaskell 2003:23):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingual%20papillae | Lingual papillae (: papilla) are small structures on the upper surface of the tongue that give it its characteristic rough texture. The four types of papillae on the human tongue have different structures and are accordingly classified as circumvallate (or vallate), fungiform, filiform, and foliate. All except the fili... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded%20decimal | In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight. Sometimes, special bit patterns are used for a sign or other indications (e.g. error or overflow).
In byte-oriented systems... |
