It was originally described in 1872 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, who called it Boletus auriporus. Zdenek Pouzar transferred it to the genus Aureoboletus in 1957.
The species is edibl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piriformis%20fascia | The fascia of the Piriformis is very thin and is attached to the front of the sacrum and the sides of the greater sciatic foramen; it is prolonged on the muscle into the gluteal region.
At its sacral attachment around the margins of the anterior sacral foramina it comes into intimate association with and ensheathes th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wold%27s%20decomposition | In mathematics, particularly in operator theory, Wold decomposition or Wold–von Neumann decomposition, named after Herman Wold and John von Neumann, is a classification theorem for isometric linear operators on a given Hilbert space. It states that every isometry is a direct sum of copies of the unilateral shift and a ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obliquus%20capitis%20inferior%20muscle | The obliquus capitis inferior muscle () is a muscle in the upper back of the neck. It is one of the suboccipital muscles. Its inferior attachment is at the spinous process of the axis; its superior attachment is at the transverse process of the atlas. It is innervated by the suboccipital nerve (the posterior ramus of f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational%20conformal%20field%20theory | In theoretical physics, a rational conformal field theory is a special type of two-dimensional conformal field theory with a finite number of conformal primaries. In these theories, all dimensions (and the central charge) are rational numbers that can be computed from the consistency conditions of conformal field theor... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX-Engine | An MSX-ENGINE chip is a specially developed integrated circuit for home computers that are built according to the MSX specifications.
Generally, such a chip combines the functions of many separate, older/simpler chips into one. This is done to reduce required circuit board space, power consumption, and (most important... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minkowski%20addition | In geometry, the Minkowski sum of two sets of position vectors A and B in Euclidean space is formed by adding each vector in A to each vector in B:
The Minkowski difference (also Minkowski subtraction, Minkowski decomposition, or geometric difference) is the corresponding inverse, where produces a set that could be... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicopper%20oxidase | In molecular biology, multicopper oxidases are enzymes which oxidise their substrate by accepting electrons at a mononuclear copper centre and transferring them to a trinuclear copper centre; dioxygen binds to the trinuclear centre and, following the transfer of four electrons, is reduced to two molecules of water. The... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gap%20reduction | In computational complexity theory, a gap reduction is a reduction to a particular type of decision problem, known as a c-gap problem. Such reductions provide information about the hardness of approximating solutions to optimization problems. In short, a gap problem refers to one wherein the objective is to distinguis... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Independent%20Game%20Developers%27%20Association | The Independent Game Developers' Association (TIGA) is a trade association representing the business and commercial interests of some video and computer game developers in the UK and Europe.
TIGA aims to strengthen the games development and digital publishing sector by advocating for the industry, championing it in th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanis%C5%82aw%20Mazur | Stanisław Mieczysław Mazur (1 January 1905, Lwów – 5 November 1981, Warsaw) was a Polish mathematician and a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Mazur made important contributions to geometrical methods in linear and nonlinear functional analysis and to the study of Banach algebras. He was also interested in sum... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle%20cranial%20fossa | The middle cranial fossa is formed by the sphenoid bones, and the temporal bones. It lodges the temporal lobes, and the pituitary gland. It is deeper than the anterior cranial fossa, is narrow medially and widens laterally to the sides of the skull. It is separated from the posterior cranial fossa by the clivus and the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ET-188 | ET-188 was an IBM PC XT compatible computer made by the Yugoslav company Novkabel (Novosadska fabrika kabela - Novi Sad Cable Factory) from Novi Sad (now Serbia) in the 1980s.
Novkabel already had experience in developing computer systems (ERA 20, ERA 60 and others) which was used to make ET-188 as an original design,... |
