A solid-state nuclear track detector or SSNTD (also known as an etched track detector or a dielectric track detector, DTD) is a sample of a solid material (photographic emulsion, crystal, glass or plastic) exposed to nuclear radiation (neutrons or charged particles, occasionally also gamma rays), etched, and examined m...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berendsen%20thermostat
The Berendsen thermostat is an algorithm to re-scale the velocities of particles in molecular dynamics simulations to control the simulation temperature. Basic description In this scheme, the system is weakly coupled to a heat bath with some temperature. The thermostat suppresses fluctuations of the kinetic energy of ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerontoplast
A gerontoplast is a plastid that develops from a chloroplast during the senescing of plant foliage. Gerontoplast development is generally seen to be the process of grana being unstacked, loss of thylakoid membranes, and large accumulation of plastoglobuli. Transformation of chloroplasts to gerontoplasts The term geron...

An EPPO code, formerly known as a Bayer code, is an encoded identifier that is used by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO), in a system designed to uniquely identify organisms – namely plants, pests and pathogens – that are important to agriculture and crop protection. EPPO codes are a ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orienting%20system
The brain pathway that orients visual attention to a stimulus is referred to as the orienting system. There are two main types of visual orientations, covert (exogenous) which occurs when a salient environmental change causes a shift in attention and overt (endogenous) which occurs when the individual makes a consciou...

Usually, it involves seeking minor non-financial advantages, such as using one's status to facilitate obtaining preferences, favors, tolerances, and/or courtesies that would not normally...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular%20embedding
In algebraic geometry, a closed immersion of schemes is a regular embedding of codimension r if each point x in X has an open affine neighborhood U in Y such that the ideal of is generated by a regular sequence of length r. A regular embedding of codimension one is precisely an effective Cartier divisor. Examples an...

Ischnoderma resinosum is a species of fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Commonly known as the late fall polypore, resinous polypore, or benzoin bracket, this shelf mushroom is across, velvety, dark red/brown, darkening and forming zones in age. Its spongy but tough, sweet-smelling flesh exudes a red liquid when yo...

Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) is a standard interface description language (IDL) for defining data structures that can be serialized and deserialized in a cross-platform way. It is broadly used in telecommunications and computer networking, and especially in cryptography. Protocol developers define data structu...

"Mauremys" glyphistoma is a hybrid turtle in the family Geoemydidae (formerly Bataguridae). Originally described as a new species supposedly endemic to Guangxi/China; it was classified as Data Deficient in the IUCN Red List. It is known only from a few specimens including the type series, all from the pet trade suppos...
