https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weiss%20magneton | The Weiss magneton was an experimentally derived unit of magnetic moment equal to joules per tesla, which is about 20% of the Bohr magneton. It was suggested in 1911 by Pierre Weiss.
Origin
The idea of elementary magnets originated from the Swiss physicist Walther Ritz, who tried to explain atomic spectra. In 1907 he... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remarriage | Remarriage is a marriage that takes place after a previous marital union has ended, as through divorce or widowhood.
Some individuals are more likely to remarry than others; the likelihood can differ based on previous relationship status (e.g. divorced vs. widowed), level of interest in establishing a new romantic rela... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChIA-PET | Chromatin Interaction Analysis by Paired-End Tag Sequencing (ChIA-PET or ChIA-PETS) is a technique that incorporates chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-based enrichment, chromatin proximity ligation, Paired-End Tags, and High-throughput sequencing to determine de novo long-range chromatin interactions genome-wide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin%20curve | The Martin curve is a power law used by oceanographers to describe the export to the ocean floor of particulate organic carbon (POC). The curve is controlled with two parameters: the reference depth in the water column, and a remineralisation parameter which is a measure of the rate at which the vertical flux of POC at... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coelenteramine | Coelenteramine is a metabolic product of the bioluminescent reactions in organisms that utilize coelenterazine. It was first isolated from Aequorea victoria along with coelenteramide after coelenterates were stimulated to emit light. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd | A herd is a social group of certain animals of the same species, either wild or domestic. The form of collective animal behavior associated with this is called herding. These animals are known as gregarious animals.
The term herd is generally applied to mammals, and most particularly to the grazing ungulates that clas... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richardson%27s%20theorem | In mathematics, Richardson's theorem establishes the undecidability of the equality of real numbers defined by expressions involving integers, , and exponential and sine functions. It was proved in 1968 by mathematician and computer scientist Daniel Richardson of the University of Bath.
Specifically, the class of exp... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrad%20formalism | The tetrad formalism is an approach to general relativity that generalizes the choice of basis for the tangent bundle from a coordinate basis to the less restrictive choice of a local basis, i.e. a locally defined set of four linearly independent vector fields called a tetrad or vierbein. It is a special case of the mo... |
