The gene and intron-exon structure were first predicted through analysis of the complete sequence of human chromosome 7, its initial designation being C7orf45. Human mRNA transcripts were identified through two ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teichoic%20acid | Teichoic acids (cf. Greek τεῖχος, teīkhos, "wall", to be specific a fortification wall, as opposed to τοῖχος, toīkhos, a regular wall) are bacterial copolymers of glycerol phosphate or ribitol phosphate and carbohydrates linked via phosphodiester bonds.
Teichoic acids are found within the cell wall of most Gram-posit... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prochirality | In stereochemistry, prochiral molecules are those that can be converted from achiral to chiral in a single step. An achiral species which can be converted to a chiral in two steps is called proprochiral.
If two identical substituents are attached to a sp3-hybridized atom, the descriptors pro-R and pro-S are used to di... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive%20effect | In chemistry, the inductive effect in a molecule is a local change in the electron density due to electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups elsewhere in the molecule, resulting in a permanent dipole in a bond.
It is present in a σ (sigma) bond, unlike the electromeric effect which is present in a π (pi) bond.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MEX%20file | A MEX file is a type of computer file that provides an interface between MATLAB or Octave and functions written in C, C++ or Fortran. It stands for "MATLAB executable".
When compiled, MEX files are dynamically loaded and allow external functions to be invoked from within MATLAB or Octave as if they were built-in funct... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UnderJams | UnderJams are a pull-on style diaper made by Pampers for managing bedwetting. They are similar to Goodnites. "UnderJams" claim to be softer and quieter than Goodnites. The package states that they will only fit children up to 85 lbs. Also, because of their low waist, they are hardly visible under pajamas. They were dis... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group%20actions%20in%20computational%20anatomy | Group actions are central to Riemannian geometry and defining orbits (control theory).
The orbits of computational anatomy consist of anatomical shapes and medical images; the anatomical shapes are submanifolds of differential geometry consisting of points, curves, surfaces and subvolumes,.
This generalized the ideas... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manicule | The manicule, , is a typographic mark with the appearance of a hand with its index finger extending in a pointing gesture. Originally used for handwritten marginal notes, it later came to be used in printed works to draw the reader's attention to important text. Though once widespread, it is rarely used today, except a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber%20problem | In geometry, the Weber problem, named after Alfred Weber, is one of the most famous problems in location theory. It requires finding a point in the plane that minimizes the sum of the transportation costs from this point to destination points, where different destination points are associated with different costs per ... |
