Although the conjecture has not yet been prove... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote%20pickup%20unit | A remote pickup unit or RPU is a radio system using special radio frequencies set aside for electronic news-gathering (ENG) and remote broadcasting. It can also be used for other types of point-to-point radio links.
An RPU is used to send program material from a remote location to the broadcast station or network. U... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed%20Sender%20Blackhole%20List | The Distributed Sender Blackhole List was a Domain Name System-based Blackhole List that listed IP addresses of insecure e-mail hosts. DSBL could be used by server administrators to tag or block e-mail messages that came from insecure servers, which is often spam.
The DSBL published its lists as domain name system (DN... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramolecular%20force | An intramolecular force (or primary forces) is any force that binds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound, not to be confused with intermolecular forces, which are the forces present between molecules. The subtle difference in the name comes from the Latin roots of English with inter meaning between or am... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDMA%20subscriber%20identity%20module | A CDMA subscriber identity module (CSIM) is an application to support CDMA2000 phones that runs on a UICC, with a file structure derived from the R-UIM card. By porting the application to the UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card), a card with CSIM, SIM, and USIM can operate with all major cellular technologies world... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex%20conjugate%20root%20theorem | In mathematics, the complex conjugate root theorem states that if P is a polynomial in one variable with real coefficients, and a + bi is a root of P with a and b real numbers, then its complex conjugate a − bi is also a root of P.
It follows from this (and the fundamental theorem of algebra) that, if the degree of a ... |
