The water-pouring algorithm is a technique used in digital communications systems for allocating power among different channels in multicarrier schemes. It was described by R. C. Gallager in 1968 along with the water-pouring theorem which proves its optimality for channels having Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) an...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation%20problem
The circulation problem and its variants are a generalisation of network flow problems, with the added constraint of a lower bound on edge flows, and with flow conservation also being required for the source and sink (i.e. there are no special nodes). In variants of the problem, there are multiple commodities flowing t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside-down%20painting
Most paintings are intended to be hung in a precise orientation, defining an upper part and a lower part. Some paintings are displayed upside down, sometimes by mistake since the image does not represent an easily recognizable oriented subject and lacks a signature or by a deliberate decision of the exhibitor. Example...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star%20unfolding
In computational geometry, the star unfolding of a convex polyhedron is a net obtained by cutting the polyhedron along geodesics (shortest paths) through its faces. It has also been called the inward layout of the polyhedron, or the Alexandrov unfolding after Aleksandr Danilovich Aleksandrov, who first considered it. ...

The National Union of Distributive and Allied Workers (NUDAW) was a trade union in the United Kingdom. History The union was founded in 1921, when the Amalgamated Union of Co-operative Employees merged with the National Union of Warehouse and General Workers. The Co-operative Insurance Staff union split in 1922, but ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porta%20hepatis
The porta hepatis or transverse fissure of the liver is a short but deep fissure, about 5 cm long, extending transversely beneath the left portion of the right lobe of the liver, nearer its posterior surface than its anterior border. It joins nearly at right angles with the left sagittal fossa, and separates the quadr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tait%E2%80%93Kneser%20theorem
In differential geometry, the Tait–Kneser theorem states that, if a smooth plane curve has monotonic curvature, then the osculating circles of the curve are disjoint and nested within each other. The logarithmic spiral or the pictured Archimedean spiral provide examples of curves whose curvature is monotonic for the en...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal%20linear%20transformation
A is a linear transformation that is also a conformal map. Since it is a linear transformation, it transforms vectors between vector spaces. In terms of high-level transform decomposition, a conformal linear transformation may only be composed of rotation and uniform scale (and translation in the case of matrices with...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary%20Format%20Description%20language
The Binary Format Description (BFD) language is an extension of XSIL which has added conditionals and the ability to reference files by their stream numbers, rather than by their public URLs. A template written in the BFD language can be applied to a binary data file to produce a file with that data formatted with des...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed%20tomography%20of%20the%20thyroid
In CT scan of the thyroid, focal and diffuse thyroid abnormalities are commonly encountered. These findings can often lead to a diagnostic dilemma, as the CT reflects nonspecific appearances. Ultrasound (US) examination has a superior spatial resolution and is considered the modality of choice for thyroid evaluation. N...
