https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA-Seq | RNA-Seq (named as an abbreviation of RNA sequencing) is a sequencing technique that uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to reveal the presence and quantity of RNA in a biological sample, representing an aggregated snapshot of the cells' dynamic pool of RNAs, also known as transcriptome.
Specifically, RNA-Seq facilit... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccade | A saccade ( ; ; ) is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of fixation in the same direction. In contrast, in smooth pursuit movements, the eyes move smoothly instead of in jumps. The phenomenon can be associated with a shift in frequency of an emitted signal or a movement of a body par... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux%20kernel%20version%20history | This article documents the version history of the Linux kernel. The Linux kernel is a free and open-source, monolithic, Unix-like operating system kernel. It was conceived and created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds.
Linux kernels have different support levels depending on the version. Usually, each stable version continues... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%C2%B9%20homotopy%20theory | In algebraic geometry and algebraic topology, branches of mathematics, homotopy theory or motivic homotopy theory is a way to apply the techniques of algebraic topology, specifically homotopy, to algebraic varieties and, more generally, to schemes. The theory is due to Fabien Morel and Vladimir Voevodsky. The underl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical%20device%20hijack | A medical device hijack (also called medjack) is a type of cyber attack. The weakness they target are the medical devices of a hospital. This was covered extensively in the press in 2015 and in 2016.
Medical device hijacking received additional attention in 2017. This was both a function of an increase in identified a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National%20Bio%20and%20Agro-Defense%20Facility | The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) is a biosafety level 4 research laboratory in Manhattan, Kansas, operated by the United States Department of Agriculture. The facility opened in June 2023. The facility is designed to combat biological threats involving human, zoonotic, and foreign animal diseases. The... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpebral%20%28bone%29 | The palpebral bone is a small dermal bone found in the region of the eye socket in a variety of animals, including crocodilians and ornithischian dinosaurs. It is also known as the adlacrimal or supraorbital, although the latter term may not be confused with the supraorbital in osteichthyan fishes. In ornithischians, t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accumulation%20point | In mathematics, a limit point, accumulation point, or cluster point of a set in a topological space is a point that can be "approximated" by points of in the sense that every neighbourhood of with respect to the topology on also contains a point of other than itself. A limit point of a set does not itself have... |

Developed by Alexander Niculescu, MD, PhD, and collaborators starting in 1999, it is an approach for identifying and prioritizing candidate genes and biomarkers for complex psychiatric and medical disorders by integrating and tabulating multiple lines of evidence- gene expression... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front%20end%20of%20line | The front-end-of-line (FEOL) is the first portion of IC fabrication where the individual components (transistors, capacitors, resistors, etc.) are patterned in the semiconductor.
FEOL generally covers everything up to (but not including) the deposition of metal interconnect layers.
For the CMOS process, FEOL contains... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian%20number | In combinatorics, the Eulerian number is the number of permutations of the numbers 1 to in which exactly elements are greater than the previous element (permutations with "ascents").
Leonhard Euler investigated them and associated polynomials in his 1755 book Institutiones calculi differentialis.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciclin%20domain | In molecular biology, the fasciclin domain (FAS1 domain) is an extracellular domain of about 140 amino acid residues. It has been suggested that the FAS1 domain represents an ancient cell adhesion domain common to plants and animals; related FAS1 domains are also found in bacteria.
The crystal structure of FAS1 domain... |
