https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End%20node%20problem | The end node problem arises when individual computers are used for sensitive work and/or temporarily become part of a trusted, well-managed network/cloud and then are used for more risky activities and/or join untrusted networks. (Individual computers on the periphery of networks/clouds are called end nodes.) End nodes... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stieltjes%E2%80%93Wigert%20polynomials | In mathematics, Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials (named after Thomas Jan Stieltjes and Carl Severin Wigert) are a family of basic hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials in the basic Askey scheme, for the weight function
on the positive real line x > 0.
The moment problem for the Stieltjes–Wigert polynomials is indetermin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnage%20Heart | is a video game for the PlayStation, developed by Artdink. Its gameplay is a mecha-based, turn-based strategy game, where the player takes the role of a commander in a war fought by robots. The robots, called Overkill Engines (OKEs), cannot be directly controlled in battle; they must be programmed beforehand to behave ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental%20change | Environmental change is a change or disturbance of the environment most often caused by human influences and natural ecological processes. Environmental changes include various factors, such as natural disasters, human interferences, or animal interaction. Environmental change encompasses not only physical changes, but... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic%20Frontier%20Canada | Electronic Frontier Canada (EFC) was a Canadian on-line civil rights organization founded to ensure that the principles embodied in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms remain protected as new computing, communications, and information technologies are introduced into Canadian society. As of 2005, the organizati... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan%20neck%20deformity | Swan neck deformity is a deformed position of the finger, in which the joint closest to the fingertip is permanently bent toward the palm while the nearest joint to the palm is bent away from it (DIP flexion with PIP hyperextension). It is commonly caused by injury, hypermobility or inflammatory conditions like rheumat... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-polyomino | A pseudo-polyomino, also called a polyking, polyplet or hinged polyomino, is a plane geometric figure formed by joining one or more equal squares edge-to-edge or corner-to-corner at 90°. It is a polyform with square cells. The polyominoes are a subset of the polykings.
The name "polyking" refers to the king in chess. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotor%20current%20meter | A rotor current meter (RCM) is a mechanical current meter, an oceanographic device deployed within an oceanographic mooring measuring the flow within the world oceans to learn more about ocean currents. Many RCMs have been replaced by instruments measuring the flow by hydroacoustics, the so-called Acoustic Doppler Curr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weierstrass%20factorization%20theorem | In mathematics, and particularly in the field of complex analysis, the Weierstrass factorization theorem asserts that every entire function can be represented as a (possibly infinite) product involving its zeroes. The theorem may be viewed as an extension of the fundamental theorem of algebra, which asserts that every... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland%20Islands%20and%20Dependencies%20Aerial%20Survey%20Expedition | The Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) was an aerial survey of the Falkland Islands Dependencies and the Antarctic peninsula which took place in the 1955–56 and 1956–57 southern summers.
Funded by the Colonial Office and organized by Peter Mott, the survey was carried out by Hunting Ae... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge%20symmetry%20%28mathematics%29 | In mathematics, any Lagrangian system generally admits gauge symmetries, though it may happen that they are trivial. In theoretical physics, the notion of gauge symmetries depending on parameter functions is a cornerstone of contemporary field theory.
A gauge symmetry of a Lagrangian is defined as a differential ope... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmembrane%20protein%20222 | Transmembrane protein 222 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM222 gene. One notable feature of the protein encoded by this gene is the presence of three predicted transmembrane domains. The TMEM222 protein is predicted to most likely localize to the secretory vesicles.
Gene Features
TMEM222 has a domain... |
