https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence%20and%20personality
Intelligence and personality have traditionally been studied as separate entities in psychology, but more recent work has increasingly challenged this view. An increasing number of studies have recently explored the relationship between intelligence and personality, in particular the Big Five personality traits. Gener...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare%20Loadable%20Module
A NetWare Loadable Module (NLM) is a loadable kernel module (a binary code module) that can be loaded into Novell's NetWare operating system. NLMs can implement hardware drivers, server functions (e.g. clustering), applications (e.g. GroupWise), system libraries or utilities. NLMs were supported beginning with the In...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedman%20translation
In mathematical logic, the Friedman translation is a certain transformation of intuitionistic formulas. Among other things it can be used to show that the Π02-theorems of various first-order theories of classical mathematics are also theorems of intuitionistic mathematics. It is named after its discoverer, Harvey Fried...

Nikolai Grigorievich Chebotaryov (often spelled Chebotarov or Chebotarev, , ) ( – 2 July 1947) was a Soviet mathematician. He is best known for the Chebotaryov density theorem. He was a student of Dmitry Grave, a Russian mathematician. Chebotaryov worked on the algebra of polynomials, in particular examining the distr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuga%20number
A Giuga number is a composite number n such that for each of its distinct prime factors pi we have , or equivalently such that for each of its distinct prime factors pi we have . The Giuga numbers are named after the mathematician Giuseppe Giuga, and relate to his conjecture on primality. Definitions Alternative de...

Presentation–abstraction–control (PAC) is a software architectural pattern. It is an interaction-oriented software architecture, and is somewhat similar to model–view–controller (MVC) in that it separates an interactive system into three types of components responsible for specific aspects of the application's function...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stumpff%20function
In celestial mechanics, the Stumpff functions ck(x), developed by Karl Stumpff, are used for analyzing orbits using the universal variable formulation. They are defined by the formula: for The series above converges absolutely for all real x. By comparing the Taylor series expansion of the trigonometric functions si...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolete%20models%20of%20DNA%20structure
In addition to the variety of verified DNA structures, there have been a range of proposed DNA models that have either been disproven, or lack evidence. Some of these structures were proposed during the 1950s before the structure of the double helix was solved, most famously by Linus Pauling. Non-helical or "side-by-...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency%20Echographic%20Multi%20Spectrometry
Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS) is a non-ionizing technology for osteoporosis diagnosis and for fracture risk assessment. REMS processes the raw, unfiltered ultrasound signals acquired during an echographic scan of the axial sites, femur and spine. The analysis is performed in the frequency domain....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample%20%28material%29
In general, a sample is a limited quantity of something which is intended to be similar to and represent a larger amount of that thing(s). The things could be countable objects such as individual items available as units for sale, or an uncountable material. Even though the word "sample" implies a smaller quantity take...
