https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line%20segment | In geometry, a line segment is a part of a straight line that is bounded by two distinct end points, and contains every point on the line that is between its endpoints. It is a special case of an arc, with zero curvature. The length of a line segment is given by the Euclidean distance between its endpoints. A closed li... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox%27s%20theorem | Cox's theorem, named after the physicist Richard Threlkeld Cox, is a derivation of the laws of probability theory from a certain set of postulates. This derivation justifies the so-called "logical" interpretation of probability, as the laws of probability derived by Cox's theorem are applicable to any proposition. Logi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interclavicular%20ligament | The interclavicular ligament is a flattened band, which varies considerably in form and size in different individuals, it passes in a curved direction from the upper part of the sternal end of one clavicle to that of the other, and is also attached to the upper margin of the sternum.
It is in relation, in front, with ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino%20logic | Domino logic is a CMOS-based evolution of the dynamic logic techniques based on either PMOS or NMOS transistors. It allows a rail-to-rail logic swing. It was developed to speed up circuits, solving the premature cascade problem, typically by inserting small and fast pFETs between domino stages to constrain the intersta... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovarian%20plexus | The ovarian plexus arises from the renal plexus, and is distributed to the ovary, and fundus of the uterus.
It is carried in the suspensory ligament of the ovary. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5-Hydroxyuracil | 5-Hydroxyuracil is an oxidized form of cytosine that is produced by the oxidative deamination of cytosines by reactive oxygen species. It does not distort the DNA molecule and is bypassed by replicative DNA polymerases. It can miscode for adenine and is potentially mutagenic. |
