https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brightest%20cluster%20galaxy | A brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) is defined as the brightest galaxy in a cluster of galaxies. BCGs include the most massive galaxies in the universe. They are generally elliptical galaxies which lie close to the geometric and kinematical center of their host galaxy cluster, hence at the bottom of the cluster potential... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise-equivalent%20flux%20density | In optics the noise-equivalent flux density (NEFD) or noise-equivalent irradiance (NEI) of a system is the level of flux density required to be equivalent to the noise present in the system. It is a measure used by astronomers in determining the accuracy of observations.
The NEFD can be related to a light detector's n... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gong%20farmer | Gong farmer (also gongfermor, gongfermour, gong-fayer, gong-fower or gong scourer) was a term that entered use in Tudor England to describe someone who dug out and removed human excrement from privies and cesspits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosophila%20Research%20Conference | The Drosophila Research Conference, informally known as "the fly meeting", is an annual meeting of Drosophila researchers held in North America since 1958. It is the principal research gathering for "Drosophilists", and is international in scope, drawing 1500 participants in a typical year. The conference is sponsore... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensor%20indicis%20muscle | In human anatomy, the extensor indicis [proprius] is a narrow, elongated skeletal muscle in the deep layer of the dorsal forearm, placed medial to, and parallel with, the extensor pollicis longus. Its tendon goes to the index finger, which it extends.
Structure
It arises from the distal third of the dorsal part of th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water%20dispenser | A water dispenser, known as water cooler (if used for cooling only), is a machine that dispenses and often also cools or heats up water with a refrigeration unit. It is commonly located near the restroom due to closer access to plumbing. A drain line is also provided from the water cooler into the sewer system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaviviridae | Flaviviridae is a family of enveloped positive-strand RNA viruses which mainly infect mammals and birds. They are primarily spread through arthropod vectors (mainly ticks and mosquitoes). The family gets its name from the yellow fever virus; flavus is Latin for "yellow", and yellow fever in turn was named because of it... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor%20%28device%29 | A governor, or speed limiter or controller, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine.
A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor on a reciprocating steam engine, which uses the effect of inertial force on rotating weights driven... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bius%20ladder | In graph theory, the Möbius ladder , for even numbers , is formed from an by adding edges (called "rungs") connecting opposite pairs of vertices in the cycle. It is a cubic, circulant graph, so-named because (with the exception of (the utility graph ), has exactly four-cycles which link together by their shared edg... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chow%27s%20moving%20lemma | In algebraic geometry, Chow's moving lemma, proved by , states: given algebraic cycles Y, Z on a nonsingular quasi-projective variety X, there is another algebraic cycle Z' on X such that Z' is rationally equivalent to Z and Y and Z' intersect properly. The lemma is one of key ingredients in developing the intersect... |
