https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrow | A burrow is a hole or tunnel excavated into the ground by an animal to construct a space suitable for habitation or temporary refuge, or as a byproduct of locomotion. Burrows provide a form of shelter against predation and exposure to the elements, and can be found in nearly every biome and among various biological in... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogenic%20nuclide | Cosmogenic nuclides (or cosmogenic isotopes) are rare nuclides (isotopes) created when a high-energy cosmic ray interacts with the nucleus of an in situ Solar System atom, causing nucleons (protons and neutrons) to be expelled from the atom (see cosmic ray spallation). These nuclides are produced within Earth materials... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Gilbert%20method | In mathematics, the Backus–Gilbert method, also known as the optimally localized average (OLA) method is named for its discoverers, geophysicists George E. Backus and James Freeman Gilbert. It is a regularization method for obtaining meaningful solutions to ill-posed inverse problems. Where other regularization method... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene%20gun | In genetic engineering, a gene gun or biolistic particle delivery system is a device used to deliver exogenous DNA (transgenes), RNA, or protein to cells. By coating particles of a heavy metal with a gene of interest and firing these micro-projectiles into cells using mechanical force, an integration of desired genetic... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FASMI | Fast Analysis of Shared Multidimensional Information (FASMI) is an alternative term for OLAP. The term was coined by Nigel Pendse of The OLAP Report (now known as The BI Verdict), because he felt that the 12 rules that Tedd Codd used to define OLAP were too controversial and biased (the rules were sponsored by Arbor S... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction%20inversion | In computer programming, abstraction inversion is an anti-pattern arising when users of a construct need functions implemented within it but not exposed by its interface. The result is that the users re-implement the required functions in terms of the interface, which in its turn uses the internal implementation of the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality%20intellectual%20property%20metric | The quality intellectual property metric (QIP) is an international standard, developed by Virtual Socket Interface Alliance (VSIA) for measuring Intellectual Property (IP) or Silicon intellectual property (SIP) quality and examining the practices used to design, integrate and support the SIP. SIP hardening is required... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondo%20insulator | In solid-state physics, Kondo insulators (also referred as Kondo semiconductors and heavy fermion semiconductors) are understood as materials with strongly correlated electrons, that open up a narrow band gap (in the order of 10 meV) at low temperatures with the chemical potential lying in the gap, whereas in heavy fer... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOMFLY%20polynomial | In the mathematical field of knot theory, the HOMFLY polynomial or HOMFLYPT polynomial, sometimes called the generalized Jones polynomial, is a 2-variable knot polynomial, i.e. a knot invariant in the form of a polynomial of variables m and l.
A central question in the mathematical theory of knots is whether two kn... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel%20dusting | Angel dusting is the misleading marketing practice of including a minuscule amount of an active ingredient in a cosmetic, cosmeceutical, dietary supplement, food product, or nutraceutical, insufficient to give any measurable benefit. The advertising materials may claim that the ingredient is helpful and that the ingred... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International%20Conference%20on%20Architectural%20Support%20for%20Programming%20Languages%20and%20Operating%20Systems | The International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS) is an annual interdisciplinary computer science conference organized by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
Reflecting its focus, sponsorship of the conference is made up of 50% by the ACM's Specia... |
