TidalCycles (also known as "Tidal") is a live coding environment which is designed for musical improvisation and composition. In particular, it is a domain-specific language embedded in Haskell, and is focused on the generation and manipulation of audiovisual patterns. It was originally designed for heavily percussive ...

This is a list of the largest plants by clade. Measurements are based on height, volume, length, diameter, and weight, depending on the most appropriate way(s) of measurement for the clade. Gymnosperms (Gymnospermae) Conifers (Pinopsida) The conifer division of plants include the tallest organism, and the largest sin...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor%20Contraction%20Engine
The Tensor Contraction Engine (TCE) is a compiler for a domain-specific language that allows chemists to specify the computation in a high-level Mathematica-style language. It transforms tensor summation expressions to low-level code (C/Fortran) for specific hardware being mindful of memory availability, communication ...

Citrus australis, the Dooja, round lime, Australian lime or Australian round lime, is a large shrub or small tree producing an edible fruit. It grows in forest margins in the Beenleigh area and northwards, in Queensland, Australia. Citrus australis is a tree up to tall. Fruits are spherical or slightly pear-shaped, ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle%20contraction
Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. In physiology, muscle contraction does not necessarily mean muscle shortening because muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position. The termination of muscl...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative%20wind%20stress
Relative wind stress is a shear stress that is produced by wind blowing over the surface of the ocean, or another large body of water. Relative wind stress is related to wind stress but takes the difference between the surface ocean current velocity and wind velocity into account. The units are Newton per meter squared...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryo-adsorption
Cryo-adsorption is a method used for hydrogen storage where gaseous hydrogen at cryogenic temperatures (150—60 K) is physically adsorbed on porous material, mostly activated carbon. The achievable storage density is between liquid-hydrogen (LH2) storage systems and compressed-hydrogen (CGH2) storage systems. See also ...
