https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murashige%20and%20Skoog%20medium | Murashige and Skoog medium (or MSO or MS0 (MS-zero)) is a plant growth medium used in the laboratories for cultivation of plant cell culture. MS0 was invented by plant scientists Toshio Murashige and Folke K. Skoog in 1962 during Murashige's search for a new plant growth regulator. A number behind the letters MS is us... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-atom%20transistor | A single-atom transistor is a device that can open and close an electrical circuit by the controlled and reversible repositioning of one single atom. The single-atom transistor was invented and first demonstrated in 2002 by Dr. Fangqing Xie in Prof. Thomas Schimmel's Group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (form... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solovay%E2%80%93Strassen%20primality%20test | The Solovay–Strassen primality test, developed by Robert M. Solovay and Volker Strassen in 1977, is a probabilistic test to determine if a number is composite or probably prime. The idea behind the test was discovered by M. M. Artjuhov in 1967
(see Theorem E in the paper). This test has been largely superseded by the... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociocultural%20system | A sociocultural system is a "human population viewed (1) in its ecological context and (2) as one of the many subsystems of a larger ecological system".
The term "sociocultural system" embraces three concepts: society, culture, and system. A society is a number of interdependent organisms of the same species. A cultu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonifex | Ammonifex is a Gram-negative, extremely thermophilic, strictly anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Thermoanaerobacteraceae. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMX%20homeogene | The Emx gene family has two members: EMX1 and EMX2. The Emx genes are responsible for encoding these two transcription factors; the homeodomain is responsible for binding to target DNA sequences to regulate transcription. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krull%20dimension | In commutative algebra, the Krull dimension of a commutative ring R, named after Wolfgang Krull, is the supremum of the lengths of all chains of prime ideals. The Krull dimension need not be finite even for a Noetherian ring. More generally the Krull dimension can be defined for modules over possibly non-commutative ri... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive%20decay | Radioactive decay (also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration) is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha, beta, an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine%20element | Machine element or hardware refers to an elementary component of a machine. These elements consist of three basic types:
structural components such as frame members, bearings, axles, splines, fasteners, seals, and lubricants,
mechanisms that control movement in various ways such as gear trains, belt or chain drives... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial%20seawater | Artificial seawater (abbreviated ASW) is a mixture of dissolved mineral salts (and sometimes vitamins) that simulates seawater. Artificial seawater is primarily used in marine biology and in marine and reef aquaria, and allows the easy preparation of media appropriate for marine organisms (including algae, bacteria, pl... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary | Topiary is the horticultural practice of training perennial plants by clipping the foliage and twigs of trees, shrubs and subshrubs to develop and maintain clearly defined shapes, whether geometric or fanciful.
