https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl%20Hindenburg | Carl Friedrich Hindenburg (13 July 1741 – 17 March 1808) was a German mathematician born in Dresden. His work centered mostly on combinatorics and probability.
Education
Hindenburg did not attend school but was educated at home by a private tutor as arranged by his merchant father. He went to the University of Leipzig... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translational%20partition%20function | In statistical mechanics, the translational partition function, is that part of the partition function resulting from the movement (translation) of the center of mass. For a single atom or molecule in a low pressure gas, neglecting the interactions of molecules, the canonical ensemble can be approximated by:
where... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless%20data%20center | A Wireless Data center is a type of data center that uses wireless communication technology instead of cables to store, process and retrieve data for enterprises. The development of Wireless Data centers arose as a solution to growing cabling complexity and hotspots. The wireless technology was introduced by Shin et al... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major%20basic%20protein | Eosinophil major basic protein, often shortened to major basic protein (MBP; also called Proteoglycan 2 (PRG2)) is encoded in humans by the PRG2 gene.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is the predominant constituent of the crystalline core of the eosinophil granule. High levels of the proform of this protein... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclin | Cyclin is a family of proteins that controls the progression of a cell through the cell cycle by activating cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) enzymes or group of enzymes required for synthesis of cell cycle.
Etymology
Cyclins were originally discovered by R. Timothy Hunt in 1982 while studying the cell cycle of sea urch... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biconjugate%20gradient%20method | In mathematics, more specifically in numerical linear algebra, the biconjugate gradient method is an algorithm to solve systems of linear equations
Unlike the conjugate gradient method, this algorithm does not require the matrix to be self-adjoint, but instead one needs to perform multiplications by the conjugate tra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hericium%20novae-zealandiae | HerIcium novae-zealandiae is a species of fungus in the Hericiaceae family. Formerly classified as Hericium coralloides which shares an almost identical morphology. Being saprotrophic, H. novae-zealandiae can be observed growing from dead, decaying wood. Also known as pekepeke kiore or New Zealand's lion mane, it is en... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arruda%E2%80%93Boyce%20model | In continuum mechanics, an Arruda–Boyce model is a hyperelastic constitutive model used to describe the mechanical behavior of rubber and other polymeric substances. This model is based on the statistical mechanics of a material with a cubic representative volume element containing eight chains along the diagonal dire... |

For simplicity, a reference to the base scheme is often omitted; i.e., ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim%20Geelen | Jim Geelen is a professor at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization in the faculty of mathematics at the University of Waterloo, where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Combinatorial optimization. He is known for his work on Matroid theory and the extension of the Graph Minors Project to representable mat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Machine%20Testing | The (Stream) X-Machine Testing Methodology is a complete functional testing approach to software- and hardware testing that exploits the scalability of the Stream X-Machine model of computation.
Using this methodology, it is likely to identify a finite test-set that exhaustively determines whether the tested system's... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut%20locus | The cut locus is a mathematical structure defined for a closed set in a space as the closure of the set of all points that have two or more distinct shortest paths or geodesics in from to .
For example, the cut locus of every point on the regular 2-sphere consists of exactly one point, namely the antipodal point.
