Adenylate-uridylate-rich elements (AU-rich elements; AREs) are found in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of many messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that code for proto-oncogenes, nuclear transcription factors, and cytokines. AREs are one of the most common determinants of RNA stability in mammalian cells. AREs are defined as a re...

NSC was one of the first commercially available highly available clustering solutions for commodity hardware. Description NSC provided a full single-system...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban%20prairie
Urban prairie is a term to describe vacant urban land that has reverted to green space. Previous structures occupying the urban lots have been demolished, leaving patchy areas of green space that are usually untended and unmanaged, forming an involuntary park. Sometimes, however, the prairie spaces are intentionally cr...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum%20energy%20control
In control theory, the minimum energy control is the control that will bring a linear time invariant system to a desired state with a minimum expenditure of energy. Let the linear time invariant (LTI) system be with initial state . One seeks an input so that the system will be in the state at time , and for an...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect%20digit-to-digit%20invariant
In number theory, a perfect digit-to-digit invariant (PDDI; also known as a Munchausen number) is a natural number in a given number base that is equal to the sum of its digits each raised to the power of itself. An example in base 10 is 3435, because . The term "Munchausen number" was coined by Dutch mathematician an...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-scalar%20tensor%20vector%20gravity
Bi-scalar tensor vector gravity theory (BSTV) is an extension of the tensor–vector–scalar gravity theory (TeVeS). TeVeS is a relativistic generalization of Mordehai Milgrom's Modified Newtonian Dynamics MOND paradigm proposed by Jacob Bekenstein. BSTV was proposed by R.H.Sanders. BSTV makes TeVeS more flexible by makin...
