Boletus reticulatus (alternately known as Boletus aestivalis (Paulet) Fr.), and commonly referred to as the summer cep is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus Boletus. It occurs in deciduous forests of Europe, where it forms a symbiotic mycorrhizal relationship with species of oak (Quercus). The fungus produces fruiting...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kac%E2%80%93Bernstein%20theorem
The Kac–Bernstein theorem  is one of the first characterization theorems of mathematical statistics. It is easy to see that if the random variables   and   are independent and normally distributed with the same variance, then their sum and difference are also independent. The Kac–Bernstein theorem states that the indep...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz%20polynomial
In mathematics, a Hurwitz polynomial, named after Adolf Hurwitz, is a polynomial whose roots (zeros) are located in the left half-plane of the complex plane or on the imaginary axis, that is, the real part of every root is zero or negative. Such a polynomial must have coefficients that are positive real numbers. The ...

Juku E5101 was a personal computer targeted at Estonian schools which was released in 1988. The computer had monochrome display, a mouse and basic LAN capabilities, it ran CP/M 2.2 based EKDOS and had a Soviet Intel 8080A clone KR580VM80A for CPU. Juku E5101 was developed by and the Institute of Cybernetics of the Ac...

The SM-1420 (CM-1420) is a 16 bit DEC PDP-11/45 minicomputer clone, and the successor to SM-4 in Soviet Bloc countries. Under the direction of Minpribor it was produced in the Soviet Union and Bulgaria from 1983 onwards, and is more than twice as fast as its predecessor. Its closest western counterpart is the DEC PDP-1...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutilated%20quartz
Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile. It is used for gemstones. These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can look silver, copper red or deep black. They can be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged star-like, and they can...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-place%20algorithm
In computer science, an in-place algorithm is an algorithm that operates directly on the input data structure without requiring extra space proportional to the input size. In other words, it modifies the input in place, without creating a separate copy of the data structure. An algorithm which is not in-place is someti...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart%20label
Smart Label, also called Smart Tag, is an extremely flat configured transponder under a conventional print-coded label, which includes chip, antenna and bonding wires as a so-called inlay. The labels, made of paper, fabric or plastics, are prepared as a paper roll with the inlays laminated between the rolled carrier an...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualizing%20sheaf
In algebraic geometry, the dualizing sheaf on a proper scheme X of dimension n over a field k is a coherent sheaf together with a linear functional that induces a natural isomorphism of vector spaces for each coherent sheaf F on X (the superscript * refers to a dual vector space). The linear functional is called a ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light%20effects%20on%20circadian%20rhythm
Light effects on circadian rhythm are the effects that light has on circadian rhythm. Most animals and other organisms have "built-in clocks" in their brains that regulate the timing of biological processes and daily behavior. These "clocks" are known as circadian rhythms. They allow maintenance of these processes a...
