It extends the classical finite element method (FEM) approach by enriching the solution space for solutions to differential equations with discontinuous func...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpeduncular%20fossa
The interpeduncular fossa is a deep depression of the ventral surface of the midbrain between the two crura cerebri. It has been found in humans and macaques, but not in rats or mice, showing that this is a relatively new evolutionary region. Anatomy The interpeduncular fossa is a somewhat rhomboid-shaped area of th...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanmaoa%20pseudosensibilis
Lanmaoa pseudosensibilis is a fungus of the family Boletaceae native to the United States. First described officially in 1971 by mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry Delbert Thiers, it was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Lanmaoa in 2015. While edible, it is not recommended as it could be confused with...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orienting%20response
The orienting response (OR), also called orienting reflex, is an organism's immediate response to a change in its environment, when that change is not sudden enough to elicit the startle reflex. The phenomenon was first described by Russian physiologist Ivan Sechenov in his 1863 book Reflexes of the Brain, and the term...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagonal%20gyrobicupola
In geometry, the pentagonal gyrobicupola is one of the Johnson solids (). Like the pentagonal orthobicupola (), it can be obtained by joining two pentagonal cupolae () along their bases. The difference is that in this solid, the two halves are rotated 36 degrees with respect to one another. The pentagonal gyrobicupola...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy%20isotope%20diet
A heavy isotope diet is one in that contains nutrients in which some atoms are replaced with their heavier non-radioactive isotopes, such as deuterium 2H or heavy carbon 13C. Biomolecules that incorporate heavier isotopes give rise to more stable molecular structures, which is hypothesized to increase resistance to dam...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense%20order
In mathematics, a partial order or total order < on a set is said to be dense if, for all and in for which , there is a in such that . That is, for any two elements, one less than the other, there is another element between them. For total orders this can be simplified to "for any two distinct elements, there is ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ejection%20charge
Ejection charge (commonly Black Powder), also called expelling charge, is a pyrotechnic composition, a type of a pyrotechnic gas generator designed to produce a small short-term amount of thrust to burst open a container and eject its content. In model rocketry, ejection charges are used to deploy a recovery system ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MelsecNet
MelsecNet is a protocol developed and supported by Mitsubishi Electric for data delivery. MelsecNet supports 239 networks. MelsecNet protocol has two variants. MELSECNET/H and its predecessor MELSECNET/10 use high speed and redundant functionality to give deterministic delivery of large data volumes. Both variants can...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine%20spatial%20planning
Marine spatial planning (MSP) is a process that brings together multiple users of the ocean – including energy, industry, government, conservation and recreation – to make informed and coordinated decisions about how to use marine resources sustainably. MSP generally uses maps to create a more comprehensive picture of ...
