When clients in a system maintain caches of a common memory resource, problems may arise with incoherent data, which is particularly the case with CPUs in a multiprocessing system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees%20of%20freedom%20%28mechanics%29 | In physics, the degrees of freedom (DOF) of a mechanical system is the number of independent parameters that define its configuration or state. It is important in the analysis of systems of bodies in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, aerospace engineering, robotics, and other fields.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal%20fast%20Fourier%20transform | The fast Fourier transform (FFT) is an important tool in the fields of image and signal processing. The hexagonal fast Fourier transform (HFFT) uses existing FFT routines to compute the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) of images that have been captured with hexagonal sampling. The hexagonal grid serves as the optimal ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphic%20L-function | In mathematics, an automorphic L-function is a function L(s,π,r) of a complex variable s, associated to an automorphic representation π of a reductive group G over a global field and a finite-dimensional complex representation r of the Langlands dual group LG of G, generalizing the Dirichlet L-series of a Dirichlet cha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota%20Active%20Control%20Suspension | Toyota Active Control Suspension was (according to Toyota) the world's first fully active suspension.
Two versions of Toyota's Active Control Suspension system went into production - the first was a very limited production run from 1990 to 1991 of 300 units of the ST183 Celica, called the Active Sports. This was the f... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trouton%E2%80%93Noble%20experiment | The Trouton–Noble experiment was an attempt to detect motion of the Earth through the luminiferous aether, and was conducted in 1901–1903 by Frederick Thomas Trouton and H. R. Noble. It was based on a suggestion by George FitzGerald that a charged parallel-plate capacitor moving through the aether should orient itsel... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatomedin | Somatomedins are a group of proteins produced predominantly by the liver when growth hormones act on target tissue. Somatomedins inhibit the release of growth hormones by acting directly on anterior pituitary and by stimulating the secretion of somatostatin from the hypothalamus.
Somatomedins are a group of proteins t... |
