They were introduced by Frigyes Riesz , who named them after G. H. Hardy, because of the paper . In real analysis Hardy spaces are certain spaces of distributions on the real lin... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic%20sol-fa | Tonic sol-fa (or tonic sol-fah) is a pedagogical technique for teaching sight-singing, invented by Sarah Ann Glover (1785–1867) of Norwich, England and popularised by John Curwen, who adapted it from a number of earlier musical systems. It uses a system of musical notation based on movable do solfège, whereby every not... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNaughton%27s%20theorem | In automata theory, McNaughton's theorem refers to a theorem that asserts that the set of ω-regular languages is identical to the set of languages recognizable by deterministic Muller automata.
This theorem is proven by supplying an algorithm to construct a deterministic Muller automaton for any ω-regular language and ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melioidosis | Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by a gram-negative bacterium called Burkholderia pseudomallei. Most people exposed to B. pseudomallei experience no symptoms; however, those who do experience symptoms have signs and symptoms that range from mild, such as fever and skin changes, to severe with pneumonia, abs... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion%20barrier | A diffusion barrier is a thin layer (usually micrometres thick) of metal usually placed between two other metals. It is done to act as a barrier to protect either one of the metals from corrupting the other.
Adhesion of a plated metal layer to its substrate requires a physical interlocking, inter-diffusion of the depo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vent%20pecking | Vent pecking is an abnormal behaviour of birds performed primarily by commercial egg-laying hens. It is characterised by pecking damage to the cloaca, the surrounding skin and underlying tissue. Vent pecking frequently occurs immediately after an egg has been laid when the cloaca often remains partly everted exposing... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68K/OS | 68K/OS was a computer operating system developed by GST Computer Systems for the Sinclair QL microcomputer.
It was commissioned by Sinclair Research in February 1983. However, after the official launch of the QL in January 1984, 68K/OS was rejected, and production QLs shipped with Sinclair's own Qdos operating system.... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot%20%28computing%29 | In computer terminology, a honeypot is a computer security mechanism set to detect, deflect, or, in some manner, counteract attempts at unauthorized use of information systems. Generally, a honeypot consists of data (for example, in a network site) that appears to be a legitimate part of the site which contains informa... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilinear%20time%E2%80%93frequency%20distribution | Bilinear time–frequency distributions, or quadratic time–frequency distributions, arise in a sub-field of signal analysis and signal processing called time–frequency signal processing, and, in the statistical analysis of time series data. Such methods are used where one needs to deal with a situation where the frequenc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus%20americana | Prunus americana, commonly called the American plum, wild plum, or Marshall's large yellow sweet plum, is a species of Prunus native to North America from Saskatchewan and Idaho south to New Mexico and east to Québec, Maine and Florida.
Prunus americana has often been planted outside its native range and sometimes esc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real%20closed%20ring | In mathematics, a real closed ring (RCR) is a commutative ring A that is a subring of a product of real closed fields, which is closed under continuous semi-algebraic functions defined over the integers.
Examples of real closed rings
Since the rigorous definition of a real closed ring is of technical nature it is con... |
