Heuser's membrane (or the exocoelomic membrane) is a short lived combination of hypoblast cells and extracellular matrix. At day 9-10 of embryonic development, cells from the hypoblast begin to migrate to the embryonic pole, forming a layer of cells just beneath the cytotrophoblast, called Heuser's membrane. It surrou...

The Frank–Wolfe algorithm is an iterative first-order optimization algorithm for constrained convex optimization. Also known as the conditional gradient method, reduced gradient algorithm and the convex combination algorithm, the method was originally proposed by Marguerite Frank and Philip Wolfe in 1956. In each itera...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplodiploidy
Haplodiploidy is a sex-determination system in which males develop from unfertilized eggs and are haploid, and females develop from fertilized eggs and are diploid. Haplodiploidy is sometimes called arrhenotoky. Haplodiploidy determines the sex in all members of the insect orders Hymenoptera (bees, ants, and wasps) an...

Salinirubellus salinus is an halophile archaeal species. It was first isolated from a marine solar saltern in Zhejiang Province in China. It is the only known species in the genus Salinirubellus.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic%20diffraction
Kinematic diffraction is the approach to study diffraction phenomena by neglecting multiple scattering. For linear wave equations, it thus consists in summing the contribution of the partial waves emanating from the different scatterers, where only the incident field drives the scattering. As a consequence, the far-fie...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition%20index%20in%20fish
The condition index in fish is a way to measure the overall health of a fish by comparing its weight with the typical weight of other fish of the same kind and of the same length. The condition index is its actual weight divided by its expected weight, times 100%. A fish of normal weight has a condition index of 100 pe...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinescope
Kinescope , shortened to kine , also known as telerecording in Britain, is a recording of a television programme on motion picture film, directly through a lens focused on the screen of a video monitor. The process was pioneered during the 1940s for the preservation, re-broadcasting and sale of television programmes be...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-based%20robotics
Behavior-based robotics (BBR) or behavioral robotics is an approach in robotics that focuses on robots that are able to exhibit complex-appearing behaviors despite little internal variable state to model its immediate environment, mostly gradually correcting its actions via sensory-motor links. Principles Behavior-ba...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic%20Lov%C3%A1sz%20local%20lemma
In theoretical computer science, the algorithmic Lovász local lemma gives an algorithmic way of constructing objects that obey a system of constraints with limited dependence. Given a finite set of bad events {A1, ..., An} in a probability space with limited dependence amongst the Ais and with specific bounds on their...
