https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic%20radicalization | Algorithmic radicalization is the concept that algorithms on popular social media sites such as YouTube and Facebook drive users toward progressively more extreme content over time, leading to them developing radicalized extremist political views. Algorithms record user interactions, from likes/dislikes to amount of ti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check%20dam | A check dam is a small, sometimes temporary, dam constructed across a swale, drainage ditch, or waterway to counteract erosion by reducing water flow velocity. Check dams themselves are not a type of new technology; rather, they are an ancient technique dating from the second century AD. Check dams are typically, thoug... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppy-seed%20bagel%20theorem | In physics, the poppy-seed bagel theorem concerns interacting particles (e.g., electrons) confined to a bounded surface (or body) when the particles repel each other pairwise with a magnitude that is proportional to the inverse distance between them raised to some positive power . In particular, this includes the Coul... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curl-up | Curl-up or Wentelteefje (original Dutch title) is a lithograph print by M. C. Escher, first printed in November 1951.
This is the only work by Escher consisting largely of text. The text, which is written in Dutch, describes an imaginary species called Pedalternorotandomovens centroculatus articulosus, also known as “... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical%20methods%20in%20fluid%20mechanics | Fluid motion is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, a set of coupled and nonlinear
partial differential equations derived from the basic laws of conservation of mass, momentum
and energy. The unknowns are usually the flow velocity, the pressure and density and temperature. The analytical solution of this equation... |

This software and the production server allows broadcasters to record, control and play media. Originally developed for sports production, the XT[2] is n... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural%20topology | In any domain of mathematics, a space has a natural topology if there is a topology on the space which is "best adapted" to its study within the domain in question. In many cases this imprecise definition means little more than the assertion that the topology in question arises naturally or canonically (see mathematica... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue | The tongue is a muscular organ in the mouth of a typical tetrapod. It manipulates food for chewing and swallowing as part of the digestive process, and is the primary organ of taste. The tongue's upper surface (dorsum) is covered by taste buds housed in numerous lingual papillae. It is sensitive and kept moist by saliv... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipinnaria | A bipinnaria is the first stage in the larval development of most starfish, and is usually followed by a brachiolaria stage. Movement and feeding is accomplished by the bands of cilia. Starfish that brood their young generally lack a bipinnaria stage, with the eggs developing directly into miniature adults
The bipinna... |
