Embedded SQL statements are SQL statements written inline with the program source code, of the host language. The embedded SQL statements are parsed by an embedded SQL preprocessor and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence | In epidemiology, prevalence is the proportion of a particular population found to be affected by a medical condition (typically a disease or a risk factor such as smoking or seatbelt use) at a specific time. It is derived by comparing the number of people found to have the condition with the total number of people stud... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreau%27s%20theorem | In mathematics, Moreau's theorem is a result in convex analysis named after French mathematician Jean-Jacques Moreau. It shows that sufficiently well-behaved convex functionals on Hilbert spaces are differentiable and the derivative is well-approximated by the so-called Yosida approximation, which is defined in terms o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISCSI%20Extensions%20for%20RDMA | The iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) is a computer network protocol that extends the Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol to use Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA). RDMA is provided by either the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) with RDMA services (iWARP) that uses existing Ethernet setup and th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm%20robotic%20platforms | Swarm robotic platforms apply swarm robotics in multi-robot collaboration. They take inspiration from nature (e.g. collective problem solving mechanisms seen in nature such as honey bee aggregation). The main goal is to control a large number of robots (with limited sensing/processing ability) to accomplish a common ta... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient%20construction | In conformal geometry, the ambient construction refers to a construction of Charles Fefferman and Robin Graham for which a conformal manifold of dimension n is realized (ambiently) as the boundary of a certain Poincaré manifold, or alternatively as the celestial sphere of a certain pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DP%20code | DP is a free software package for physicists implementing ab initio linear-response TDDFT (time-dependent density functional theory) in frequency-reciprocal space and on a plane wave basis set.
It allows to calculate both dielectric spectra, such as EELS (electron energy-loss spectroscopy), IXSS (inelastic X-ray scatt... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/133%20%28number%29 | 133 (one hundred [and] thirty-three) is the natural number following 132 and preceding 134.
In mathematics
133 is an n whose divisors (excluding n itself) added up divide φ(n). It is an octagonal number and a happy number.
133 is a Harshad number, because it is divisible by the sum of its digits.
133 is a repdigit i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase%20space%20method | In applied mathematics, the phase space method is a technique for constructing and analyzing solutions of dynamical systems, that is, solving time-dependent differential equations.
The method consists of first rewriting the equations as a system of differential equations that are first-order in time, by introducing a... |
