https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furstenberg%27s%20proof%20of%20the%20infinitude%20of%20primes | In mathematics, particularly in number theory, Hillel Furstenberg's proof of the infinitude of primes is a topological proof that the integers contain infinitely many prime numbers. When examined closely, the proof is less a statement about topology than a statement about certain properties of arithmetic sequences. U... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaw%20lead | Flaw lead is an oceanographic term for a waterway opening between pack ice and fast ice. Flaw lead occurs annually at the time when central pack ice drifts from coastal ice, thereby creating the flaw. The process begins in autumn. Flaw leads can have interconnected polynyas. The Canadian government's Circumpolar Flaw... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient%20intelligence | Ambient intelligence (AmI) is a term used in computing to refer to electronic environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. The term is generally applied to consumer electronics, telecommunications, and computing.
Ambient intelligence is intended to enable devices to work in concert with p... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20interface%20bit%20rates | This is a list of interface bit rates, is a measure of information transfer rates, or digital bandwidth capacity, at which digital interfaces in a computer or network can communicate over various kinds of buses and channels. The distinction can be arbitrary between a computer bus, often closer in space, and larger tele... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown%20ratio | Turndown ratio refers to the width of the operational range of a device, and is defined as the ratio of the maximum capacity to minimum capacity. For example, a device with a maximum output of 10 units and a minimum output of 2 units has a turndown ratio of 5. The term is commonly used with measurement devices and comb... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedifferentiation | Dedifferentiation (pronounced dē-ˌdi-fə-ˌren-chē-ˈā-shən) is a transient process by which cells become less specialized and return to an earlier cell state within the same lineage. This suggests an increase in cell potency, meaning that, following dedifferentiation, a cell may possess the ability to re-differentiate in... |

Prior to joining MIT, he was the Alfred Fitler Moore Professor of Network Science in the Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of P... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro-operation | In computer central processing units, micro-operations (also known as micro-ops or μops, historically also as micro-actions) are detailed low-level instructions used in some designs to implement complex machine instructions (sometimes termed macro-instructions in this context).
Usually, micro-operations perform basic ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal%20optics | Crystal optics is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in anisotropic media, that is, media (such as crystals) in which light behaves differently depending on which direction the light is propagating. The index of refraction depends on both composition and crystal structure and can be calculated u... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20neuraxial%20anesthesia | The history of neuraxial anaesthesia dates back to the late 1800s and is closely intertwined with the development of anaesthesia in general. Neuraxial anaesthesia, in particular, is a form of regional analgesia placed in or around the Central Nervous System, used for pain management and anaesthesia for certain surgerie... |
