https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crew%20scheduling | Crew scheduling is the process of assigning crews to operate transportation systems, such as rail lines or airlines.
Complex
Most transportation systems use software to manage the crew scheduling process. Crew scheduling becomes more and more complex as you add variables to the problem. These variables can be as simp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid%20drive | In computing, a hybrid drive (solid state hybrid drive – SSHD) is a logical or physical storage device that combines a faster storage medium such as solid-state drive (SSD) with a higher-capacity hard disk drive (HDD). The intent is adding some of the speed of SSDs to the cost-effective storage capacity of traditional ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isomorphism%20of%20categories | In category theory, two categories C and D are isomorphic if there exist functors F : C → D and G : D → C which are mutually inverse to each other, i.e. FG = 1D (the identity functor on D) and GF = 1C. This means that both the objects and the morphisms of C and D stand in a one-to-one correspondence to each other. Two ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TO-92 | The TO-92 is a widely used style of semiconductor package mainly used for transistors. The case is often made of epoxy or plastic, and offers compact size at a very low cost.
History and origin
The JEDEC TO-92 descriptor is derived from the original full name for the package: Transistor Outline Package, Case Style 92... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring%20chromosome%2022 | Ring chromosome 22, also known as ring 22, is a rare chromosomal disorder. Ring chromosomes occur when the ends of a chromosome lose material and fuse into a ring shape; in the case of ring 22, this occurs for chromosome 22, the last numbered human autosome. Ring chromosome 22 is marked by a number of consistent traits... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray%20short-tailed%20opossum | The gray short-tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) is a small South American member of the family Didelphidae. Unlike most other marsupials, the gray short-tailed opossum does not have a true pouch. The scientific name Monodelphis is derived from Greek and means "single womb" (referring to the lack of a pouch) and t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C2orf54 | Chromosome 2 open reading frame 54, otherwise known as Mab21L4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the C2orf54 gene. The orthologue in mice is 2310007B03Rik.
Model organisms
Model organisms have been used in the study of C2orf54 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called 2310007B03Riktm1a(KOMP)W... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantropical | A pantropical ("all tropics") distribution is one which covers tropical regions of both hemispheres. Examples of species include caecilians, modern sirenians and the plant genera Acacia and Bacopa.
Neotropical is a zoogeographic term that covers a large part of the Americas, roughly from Mexico and the Caribbean south... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM%201130 | The IBM 1130 Computing System, introduced in 1965, was IBM's least expensive computer at that time. A binary 16-bit machine, it was marketed to price-sensitive, computing-intensive technical markets, like education and engineering, succeeding the decimal IBM 1620 in that market segment. Typical installations included a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory%20geometry | In the design of modern computers, memory geometry describes the internal structure of random-access memory. Memory geometry is of concern to consumers upgrading their computers, since older memory controllers may not be compatible with later products. Memory geometry terminology can be confusing because of the number ... |
