Yttrium (90Y) tacatuzumab tetraxetan (trade name AFP-Cide) is a humanized monoclonal antibody intended for the treatment of cancer. The antibody itself, tacatuzumab, is conjugated with tetraxetan, a chelator for yttrium-90, a radioisotope which destroys the tumour ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-symmetry | T-symmetry or time reversal symmetry is the theoretical symmetry of physical laws under the transformation of time reversal,
Since the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy increases as time flows toward the future, in general, the macroscopic universe does not show symmetry under time reversal. In other wo... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93de%20Haas%20effect | The Einstein–de Haas effect is a physical phenomenon in which a change in the magnetic moment of a free body causes this body to rotate. The effect is a consequence of the conservation of angular momentum. It is strong enough to be observable in ferromagnetic materials. The experimental observation and accurate measure... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large%20low-shear-velocity%20provinces | Large low-shear-velocity provinces, LLSVPs, also called LLVPs or superplumes, are characteristic structures of parts of the lowermost mantle (the region surrounding the outer core) of Earth. These provinces are characterized by slow shear wave velocities and were discovered by seismic tomography of deep Earth. There ar... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer%20%28object-oriented%20design%29 | In software object-oriented design, a layer is a group of classes that have the same set of link-time module dependencies to other modules. In other words, a layer is a group of reusable components that are reusable in similar circumstances. In programming languages, the layer distinction is often expressed as "import"... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spijker%27s%20lemma | In mathematics, Spijker's lemma is a result in the theory of rational mappings of the Riemann sphere. It states that the image of a circle under a complex rational map with numerator and denominator having degree at most n has length at most 2nπ.
Applications
Spijker's lemma can be used to derive a sharp bound versio... |
