https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psophometric%20voltage | Psophometric voltage is a circuit noise voltage measured with a psophometer that includes a CCIF-1951 weighting network.
"Psophometric voltage" should not be confused with "psophometric emf," i.e., the emf in a generator or line with 600 Ω internal resistance. For practical purposes, the psophometric emf is twice the ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron%20poison | In applications such as nuclear reactors, a neutron poison (also called a neutron absorber or a nuclear poison) is a substance with a large neutron absorption cross-section. In such applications, absorbing neutrons is normally an undesirable effect. However, neutron-absorbing materials, also called poisons, are intenti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weakly%20o-minimal%20structure | In model theory, a weakly o-minimal structure is a model-theoretic structure whose definable sets in the domain are just finite unions of convex sets.
Definition

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional%20Fourier%20transform | In mathematics, in the area of harmonic analysis, the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is a family of linear transformations generalizing the Fourier transform. It can be thought of as the Fourier transform to the n-th power, where n need not be an integer — thus, it can transform a function to any intermediate doma... |
