By using a single-ended optical fiber around the current conductor that utilizes the magneto-optic effect (Faraday effect), FOCS measures uni- or bidirectional DC currents of up to 600 kA within ±0.1% of the measured value. Because ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James%27%20space
In the area of mathematics known as functional analysis, James' space is an important example in the theory of Banach spaces and commonly serves as useful counterexample to general statements concerning the structure of general Banach spaces. The space was first introduced in 1950 in a short paper by Robert C. James. ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan%20gene
Orphan genes, ORFans, or taxonomically restricted genes (TRGs) are genes that lack a detectable homologue outside of a given species or lineage. Most genes have known homologues. Two genes are homologous when they share an evolutionary history, and the study of groups of homologous genes allows for an understanding of ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monogenic%20field
In mathematics, a monogenic field is an algebraic number field K for which there exists an element a such that the ring of integers OK is the subring Z[a] of K generated by a. Then OK is a quotient of the polynomial ring Z[X] and the powers of a constitute a power integral basis. In a monogenic field K, the field disc...

The Illustris project is an ongoing series of astrophysical simulations run by an international collaboration of scientists. The aim was to study the processes of galaxy formation and evolution in the universe with a comprehensive physical model. Early results were described in a number of publications following widesp...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNase-Seq
DNase-seq (DNase I hypersensitive sites sequencing) is a method in molecular biology used to identify the location of regulatory regions, based on the genome-wide sequencing of regions sensitive to cleavage by DNase I. FAIRE-Seq is a successor of DNase-seq for the genome-wide identification of accessible DNA regions in...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morquio%20syndrome
Morquio syndrome, also known as mucopolysaccharidosis type IV (MPS IV), is a rare metabolic disorder in which the body cannot process certain types of sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (AKA GAGs, or mucopolysaccharides). In Morquio syndrome, the specific GAG which builds up in the body is called keratan sulfate...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histone-like%20nucleoid-structuring%20protein
Histone-like nucleoid-structuring protein (H-NS), is one of twelve nucleoid-associated proteins (NAPs) whose main function is the organization of genetic material, including the regulation of gene expression via xenogeneic silencing. H-NS is characterized by an N-terminal domain (NTD) consisting of two dimerization sit...
