https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracility | Gracility is slenderness, the condition of being gracile, which means slender. It derives from the Latin adjective gracilis (masculine or feminine), or gracile (neuter), which in either form means slender, and when transferred for example to discourse takes the sense of "without ornament", "simple" or various similar c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-birth%E2%80%93death%20process | In queueing models, a discipline within the mathematical theory of probability, the quasi-birth–death process describes a generalisation of the birth–death process. As with the birth-death process it moves up and down between levels one at a time, but the time between these transitions can have a more complicated distr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDN%20Web%20Docs | MDN Web Docs, previously Mozilla Developer Network and formerly Mozilla Developer Center, is a documentation repository and learning resource for web developers. It was started by Mozilla in 2005 as a unified place for documentation about open web standards, Mozilla's own projects, and developer guides.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs%20phase | In theoretical physics, it is often important to consider gauge theory that admits many physical phenomena and "phases", connected by phase transitions, in which the vacuum may be found.
Global symmetries in a gauge theory may be broken by the Higgs mechanism. In more general theories such as those relevant in string ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HH-suite | The HH-suite is an open-source software package for sensitive protein sequence searching. It contains programs that can search for similar protein sequences in protein sequence databases. Sequence searches are a standard tool in modern biology with which the function of unknown proteins can be inferred from the functio... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal%20quadratic%20form | In mathematics, a universal quadratic form is a quadratic form over a ring that represents every element of the ring. A non-singular form over a field which represents zero non-trivially is universal.
Examples
Over the real numbers, the form x2 in one variable is not universal, as it cannot represent negative number... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyl%20distance%20function | In combinatorial geometry, the Weyl distance function is a function that behaves in some ways like the distance function of a metric space, but instead of taking values in the positive real numbers, it takes values in a group of reflections, called the Weyl group (named for Hermann Weyl). This distance function is def... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction%20conjecture | Informally, the reconstruction conjecture in graph theory says that graphs are determined uniquely by their subgraphs. It is due to Kelly and Ulam.
Formal statements
Given a graph , a vertex-deleted subgraph of is a subgraph formed by deleting exactly one vertex from . By definition, it is an induced subgraph of .... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAVE%20regulatory%20complex | The WAVE regulatory complex (WRC, SCAR complex) is a five-subunit protein complex in the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP) family involved in the formation of the actin cytoskeleton through interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. The holocomplex comprises WAVE1 (also known as WASF1), CYFIP1, ABI2, Nap1 and HSPC300 i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999... | In mathematics, 0.999... (also written as 0., 0. or 0.(9)) is a notation for the repeating decimal consisting of an unending sequence of 9s after the decimal point. This repeating decimal is a numeral that represents the smallest number no less than every number in the sequence (0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...); that is, the sup... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit%20extraction | The electric circuit extraction or simply circuit extraction, also netlist extraction, is the translation of an integrated circuit layout back into the electrical circuit (netlist) it is intended to represent. This extracted circuit is needed for various purposes including circuit simulation, static timing analysis, s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM2A | GM2 ganglioside activator also known as GM2A is a protein which in humans is encoded by the GM2A gene.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is a small glycolipid transport protein which acts as a substrate specific co-factor for the lysosomal enzyme β-hexosaminidase A. β-hexosaminidase A, together with GM2 gang... |
