This may be because the parts of the perianth are undifferentiated (i.e. of very similar appearance), as in Magnolia, or because, although it is possible t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tebuconazole | Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide used agriculturally to treat plant pathogenic fungi.
Environmental Hazards
Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers this fungicide to be safe for humans, it may still pose a risk. It is listed as a possible carcinogen in the United States Environmental Protection Agen... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formiminoglutamic%20acid | Formiminoglutamic acid (FIGLU; conjugate base, formiminoglutamate) is an intermediate in the catabolism of L-histidine to L-glutamic acid. It thus is also a biomarker for intracellular levels of folate. The FIGLU test is used to identify vitamin B₁₂ deficiency, folate deficiency, and liver failure or liver disease. It ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpecC | SpecC is a System Description Language (SDL), or System-level Design Language (SLDL), and is an extension of the ANSI C programming language. It is used to aid the design and specification of digital embedded systems, providing improved productivity whilst retaining the ability to change a design at functional and spec... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firoozbakht%27s%20conjecture | In number theory, Firoozbakht's conjecture (or the Firoozbakht conjecture) is a conjecture about the distribution of prime numbers. It is named after the Iranian mathematician Farideh Firoozbakht who stated it first in 1982.
The conjecture states that (where is the nth prime) is a strictly decreasing function of n, ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max%20Delbruck%20Prize | The Max Delbruck Prize, formerly known as the Biological physics prize, is awarded by the Division of Biological Physics of the American Physical Society, to recognize and encourage outstanding achievement in biological physics research. The prize was established in 1981, and renamed for Max Delbrück in 2006. The award... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted%20computing%20base | The trusted computing base (TCB) of a computer system is the set of all hardware, firmware, and/or software components that are critical to its security, in the sense that bugs or vulnerabilities occurring inside the TCB might jeopardize the security properties of the entire system. By contrast, parts of a computer sys... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACTG2 | Actin, gamma-enteric smooth muscle is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTG2 gene.
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility, and maintenance of the cytoskeleton. In vertebrates, three main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead%20sort | Bead sort, also called gravity sort, is a natural sorting algorithm, developed by Joshua J. Arulanandham, Cristian S. Calude and Michael J. Dinneen in 2002, and published in The Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science. Both digital and analog hardware implementations of bead sort can achi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superluminous%20supernova | A super-luminous supernova (SLSN, plural super luminous supernovae or SLSNe) is a type of stellar explosion with a luminosity 10 or more times higher than that of standard supernovae. Like supernovae, SLSNe seem to be produced by several mechanisms, which is readily revealed by their light-curves and spectra. There are... |
