Generalized expected utility is a decision-making metric based on any of a variety of theories that attempt to resolve some discrepancies between expected utility theory and empirical observations, concerning choice under risky (probabilistic) circumstances. Given its motivations and approach, generalized expected util...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food%20model
Food models, also known as fake foods, food figurines or "food samples" (), are scale models or replicas of a food item or dish made from plastic, wax, resin or similar inedible material. They are commonly used as mockups in restaurant display windows and shelves in Japan, although other countries like South Korea and ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/274%20%28number%29
274 is the natural number following 273 and preceding 275. In mathematics 274 is an even composite number. 274's sum of its proper divisors is 140. The number 274 is the 13th tribonacci number. This is defined by the equations P(0)=P(1)=0 P(2)=1 and P(n)=P(n-1)+P(n-2)+P(n-3). 274 is the sum of 5 perfect cubes. It is t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended%20ELM2%20domain
The extended EGL-27 and MTA1 homology domain, or EELM2 domain, is a protein domain that occurs in proteins from apicomplexan parasites. Part of the EELM2 domain is homologous to the ELM2 domain, but is 'extended' in that its boundaries (the region of conservation) are longer than in the ELM2 domain. Currently (as of 2...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P/D1%20cell
P/D1 cells are cells lining the fundus of the human stomach that produce ghrelin. Removal of these cells in gastric bypass surgery has a profound impact on later appetite regulation. These cells have also been shown to produce ghrelin's antagonistic hormone leptin. PD/1 cells are equivalent to A-like cells in rats and ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainout%20%28radioactivity%29
A rainout is the process of precipitation causing the removal of radioactive particles from the atmosphere onto the ground, creating nuclear fallout by rain. The rainclouds of the rainout are often formed by the particles of a nuclear explosion itself and because of this, the decontamination of rainout is more difficul...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudopolynomial%20time%20number%20partitioning
In computer science, pseudopolynomial time number partitioning is a pseudopolynomial time algorithm for solving the partition problem. The problem can be solved using dynamic programming when the size of the set and the size of the sum of the integers in the set are not too big to render the storage requirements infea...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaplansky%27s%20theorem%20on%20projective%20modules
In abstract algebra, Kaplansky's theorem on projective modules, first proven by Irving Kaplansky, states that a projective module over a local ring is free; where a not-necessarily-commutative ring is called local if for each element x, either x or 1 − x is a unit element. The theorem can also be formulated so to chara...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural%20abundance
In physics, natural abundance (NA) refers to the abundance of isotopes of a chemical element as naturally found on a planet. The relative atomic mass (a weighted average, weighted by mole-fraction abundance figures) of these isotopes is the atomic weight listed for the element in the periodic table. The abundance of an...

The Venona project was a United States counterintelligence program initiated during World War II by the United States Army's Signal Intelligence Service and later absorbed by the National Security Agency (NSA), that ran from February 1, 1943, until October 1, 1980. It was intended to decrypt messages transmitted by the...
