Koksma received his Ph.D. degree (cum laude) in 1930 at the University of Groningen under supervision of Johannes van der Corput, with a thesis on Systems of Diophanti... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pp-wave%20spacetime | In general relativity, the pp-wave spacetimes, or pp-waves for short, are an important family of exact solutions of Einstein's field equation. The term pp stands for plane-fronted waves with parallel propagation, and was introduced in 1962 by Jürgen Ehlers and Wolfgang Kundt.
Overview
The pp-waves solutions model radi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusoidal%20plane%20wave | In physics, a sinusoidal plane wave is a special case of plane wave: a field whose value varies as a sinusoidal function of time and of the distance from some fixed plane. It is also called a monochromatic plane wave, with constant frequency (as in monochromatic radiation).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc%20routing | Arc routing problems (ARP) are a category of general routing problems (GRP), which also includes node routing problems (NRP). The objective in ARPs and NRPs is to traverse the edges and nodes of a graph, respectively. The objective of arc routing problems involves minimizing the total distance and time, which often inv... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit%20level | A spirit level, bubble level, or simply a level, is an instrument designed to indicate whether a surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb).
Two basic designs exist: tubular (or linear) and bull's eye (or circular).
Different types of spirit levels may be used by carpenters, stonemasons, bricklayers, other buil... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramedullary%20hematopoiesis | Extramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH or sometimes EH) refers to hematopoiesis occurring outside of the medulla of the bone (bone marrow). It can be physiologic or pathologic.
Physiologic EMH occurs during embryonic and fetal development; during this time the main site of fetal hematopoiesis are liver and the spleen.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermionic%20condensate | A fermionic condensate (or Fermi–Dirac condensate) is a superfluid phase formed by fermionic particles at low temperatures. It is closely related to the Bose–Einstein condensate, a superfluid phase formed by bosonic atoms under similar conditions. The earliest recognized fermionic condensate described the state of elec... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific%20force | Specific force (SF) is a mass-specific quantity defined as the quotient of force per unit mass.
It is a physical quantity of kind acceleration, with dimension of length per time squared and units of metre per second squared (m·s−2).
It is normally applied to forces other than gravity, to emulate the relationship betw... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megaphorb | Megaphorbs are areas with a community of tall, exuberant, perennial herbs. The plant communities provide ground cover and often exist on the margins of wooded areas, terrain that has recently been cleared, or in disturbed areas adjacent to creeks or rivers. These plant communities are often found in mountainous areas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis%20point | A basis point (often abbreviated as bp, often pronounced as "bip" or "beep") is one hundredth of 1 percentage point. The related term permyriad means one hundredth of 1 percent. Changes of interest rates are often stated in basis points. If an interest rate of 10% increased by 1 basis point, it changed to 10.01%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WSFN%20%28programming%20language%29 | WSFN (Which Stands for Nothing) is an interpreted programming language for controlling robots created by Li-Chen Wang. It was designed to be as small as possible, a "tiny" language, similar to Wang's earlier effort, Palo Alto Tiny BASIC. WSFN was first published in Dr. Dobb's Journal in September 1977.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network%20cloaking | Network cloaking is an attempt to provide wireless security by hiding the network name (service set identifier) from being broadcast publicly. Many routers come with this option as a standard feature in the setup menu accessed via a web browser.
Network cloaking may stop inexperienced users from gaining access to a ... |
