https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZOBODAT | ZOBODAT is an online catalogue of taxonomic, bibliographic, author and specimen data, from mainly German language sources. The database is published by and was founded in 1972 by . At August 16, 2022, it contained 3,476,485 occurrence records, 1,089 journal records (together with their contents), 25,379 authors (inc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution%20of%20snake%20venom | Venom in snakes and some lizards is a form of saliva that has been modified into venom over its evolutionary history. In snakes, venom has evolved to kill or subdue prey, as well as to perform other diet-related functions. While snakes occasionally use their venom in self defense, this is not believed to have had a str... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submandibular%20fovea | The submandibular fovea (or submandibular fossa or submaxillary fovea) is an impression on the medial side of the body of the mandible below the mylohyoid line. It is the location for the submandibular gland. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging%20Atwood%27s%20machine | The swinging Atwood's machine (SAM) is a mechanism that resembles a simple Atwood's machine except that one of the masses is allowed to swing in a two-dimensional plane, producing a dynamical system that is chaotic for some system parameters and initial conditions.
Specifically, it comprises two masses (the pendulum, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S4%20Index | The Index is a standard index used to measure ionospheric disturbances. It is defined as the ratio of the standard deviation of signal intensity to the average signal intensity.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convolutional%20sparse%20coding | The convolutional sparse coding paradigm is an extension of the global sparse coding model, in which a redundant dictionary is modeled as a concatenation of circulant matrices. While the global sparsity constraint describes signal as a linear combination of a few atoms in the redundant dictionary , usually expressed a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair%20computational%20tree%20logic | Fair computational tree logic is conventional computational tree logic studied with explicit fairness constraints.
Weak fairness / justice
This declares conditions such as all processes execute infinitely often. If you consider the processes to be Pi, then the condition becomes:
Strong fairness / compassion
Here, if ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio%20multicore%20cable | An audio multicore cable (often colloquially referred to as a multicore, snake cable or snake) is a thick cable which usually contains 4–64 individual audio cables inside a common, sturdy outer jacket. Audio multicore cables are used to convey many audio signals between two locations, such as in audio recording, sound ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME | CRIME (Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy) is a security vulnerability in HTTPS and SPDY protocols that utilize compression, which can leak the content of secret web cookies. When used to recover the content of secret authentication cookies, it allows an attacker to perform session hijacking on an authenticated web ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prokaryotic%20riboflavin%20biosynthesis%20protein | The prokaryotic riboflavin biosynthesis protein is a bifunctional enzyme found in bacteria that catalyzes the phosphorylation of riboflavin into flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and the adenylylation of FMN into flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). It consists of a C-terminal riboflavin kinase and an N-terminal FMN-adenylyltr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halogen%20bond | In chemistry, a halogen bond occurs when there is evidence of a net attractive interaction between an electrophilic region associated with a halogen atom in a molecular entity and a nucleophilic region in another, or the same, molecular entity. Like a hydrogen bond, the result is not a formal chemical bond, but rather ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NMR%20tube | An NMR tube is a thin glass walled tube used to contain samples in nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Typically NMR tubes come in 5 mm diameters but 10 mm and 3 mm samples are known. It is important that the tubes are uniformly thick and well-balanced to ensure that NMR tube spins at a regular rate (i.e., they do... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLEX%20%28protocol%29 | FLEX is a communications protocol developed by Motorola and used in many pagers. FLEX provides one-way communication only (from the provider to the pager device), but a related protocol called ReFLEX provides two-way messaging.
Protocol
Transmission of message data occurs in one of four modes: 1600/2, 3200/2, 3200/4,... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion%20torch | A fusion torch is a technique for utilizing the high-temperature plasma of a fusion reactor to break apart other materials (especially waste materials) and convert them into a few reusable and saleable elements. It was invented in 1968 by Bernard J. Eastlund and William C. Gough while they were program managers of the ... |
