Bipolar magnetic semiconductors (BMSs) are a special class of magnetic semiconductors characterized by a unique electronic structure, where valence band maximum (VBM) and conduction band minimum (CBM) are fully spin polarized in the opposite spin direction. BMSs can be described by three energy gaps, the spin-flip gap ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortho-Vanillin
ortho-Vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) is an organic solid present in the extracts and essential oils of many plants. Its functional groups include aldehyde, ether and phenol. ortho-Vanillin, a compound of the formula C8H8O3, is distinctly different from its more prevalent isomer, meta-vanillin. The "ortho-" ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal%20Verification%20Methodology
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a standardized methodology for verifying integrated circuit designs. UVM is derived mainly from the OVM (Open Verification Methodology) which was, to a large part, based on the eRM (e Reuse Methodology) for the e verification language developed by Verisity Design in 2001...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borel%20isomorphism
In mathematics, a Borel isomorphism is a measurable bijective function between two standard Borel spaces. By Souslin's theorem in standard Borel spaces (which says that a set that is both analytic and coanalytic is necessarily Borel), the inverse of any such measurable bijective function is also measurable. Borel isom...

The Puck puzzle (Hungarian: Kép Korong), also known as Picture Disc, is a combination puzzle invented in 1980 by Hungarian physicist András Végh. The disc shaped puzzle consists of 2 central pieces: the inner disc, and segments forming a ring around the inner disc. The number of segments is an even number, most commonl...

The intrinsic value of a human or any other sentient animal comes from within itself. It is the value it places on its own lived experience, valuing it as an end in itself. Intrinsic value exists wherever there are beings that value themselves. Intrinsic value is considered self-ascribed, all animals have it, unlike i...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viehland%E2%80%93Mason%20theory
The Viehland–Mason theory is a two-temperature theory for charged and neutral atoms, which explains how trace ions can have a substantially different temperature than dilute gas atoms. It is one of any of a number of kinetic theories of the transport of trace amounts of molecular ions through neutral gases under the in...

Ralph Allan Bradley (November 28, 1923 – October 30, 2001) was a Canadian-American statistician and statistics educator, whose research lie in the fields of design of experiments, nonparametric statistics, sequential analysis, and multivariate analysis. He is known for the Bradley–Terry model in pairwise comparison and...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End%20%28category%20theory%29
In category theory, an end of a functor is a universal dinatural transformation from an object e of X to S. More explicitly, this is a pair , where e is an object of X and is an extranatural transformation such that for every extranatural transformation there exists a unique morphism of X with for every object ...
