https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FlockDB
FlockDB was an open-source distributed, fault-tolerant graph database for managing wide but shallow network graphs. It was initially used by Twitter to store relationships between users, e.g. followings and favorites. FlockDB differs from other graph databases, e.g. Neo4j in that it was not designed for multi-hop graph...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%27s%20integral%20theorem
In mathematics, the Cauchy integral theorem (also known as the Cauchy–Goursat theorem) in complex analysis, named after Augustin-Louis Cauchy (and Édouard Goursat), is an important statement about line integrals for holomorphic functions in the complex plane. Essentially, it says that if is holomorphic in a simply con...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double%20pushout%20graph%20rewriting
In computer science, double pushout graph rewriting (or DPO graph rewriting) refers to a mathematical framework for graph rewriting. It was introduced as one of the first algebraic approaches to graph rewriting in the article "Graph-grammars: An algebraic approach" (1973). It has since been generalized to allow rewriti...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMGCS2
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (mitochondrial) is an enzyme in humans that is encoded by the HMGCS2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA synthase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the second and rate-limiting reaction of ketogenesis, a metabolic pathway that provid...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant%20stem
A stem is one of two main structural axes of a vascular plant, the other being the root. It supports leaves, flowers and fruits, transports water and dissolved substances between the roots and the shoots in the xylem and phloem, photosynthesis takes place here, stores nutrients, and produces new living tissue. The stem...

In mathematics, 1 − 2 + 3 − 4 + ··· is an infinite series whose terms are the successive positive integers, given alternating signs. Using sigma summation notation the sum of the first m terms of the series can be expressed as The infinite series diverges, meaning that its sequence of partial sums, , does not tend tow...
