https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein%20toxicity | Protein toxicity is the effect of the buildup of protein metabolic waste compounds, like urea, uric acid, ammonia, and creatinine. Protein toxicity has many causes, including urea cycle disorders, genetic mutations, excessive protein intake, and insufficient kidney function, such as chronic kidney disease and acute kid... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multirate%20filter%20bank%20and%20multidimensional%20directional%20filter%20banks | This article provides a short survey of the concepts, principles and applications of Multirate Filter Banks and Multidimensional Directional Filter Banks.
Multirate systems
Linear time-invariant systems typically operate at a single sampling rate, which means that we have the same sampling rate at input and output. In... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base36 | Base36 is a binary-to-text encoding scheme that represents binary data in an ASCII string format by translating it into a radix-36 representation. The choice of 36 is convenient in that the digits can be represented using the Arabic numerals 0–9 and the Latin letters A–Z (the ISO basic Latin alphabet).
Each base36 dig... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropology | Anthropology is the scientific study of humanity, concerned with human behavior, human biology, cultures, societies, and linguistics, in both the present and past, including past human species. Social anthropology studies patterns of behavior, while cultural anthropology studies cultural meaning, including norms and va... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabtoxin | Tabtoxin, also known as wildfire toxin, is a simple monobactam phytotoxin produced by Pseudomonas syringae. It is the precursor to the antibiotic tabtoxinine β-lactam (TBL). It is produced by:
Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci, the causal agent of the wildfire of tobacco.
P. syringae pv. coronafaciens

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%20root%20of%205 | The square root of 5 is the positive real number that, when multiplied by itself, gives the prime number 5. It is more precisely called the principal square root of 5, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property. This number appears in the fractional expression for the golden ratio. It can be deno... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous%20automaton | A continuous automaton can be described as a cellular automaton extended so the valid states a cell can take are not just discrete (for example, the states consist of integers between 0 and 3), but continuous, for example, the real number range [0,1]. The cells however remain discretely separated from each other. One e... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leu-enkephalin | Leu-enkephalin is an endogenous opioid peptide neurotransmitter with the amino acid sequence Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu that is found naturally in the brains of many animals, including humans. It is one of the two forms of enkephalin; the other is met-enkephalin. The tyrosine residue at position 1 is thought to be analogous t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual%20appearance | The visual appearance of objects is given by the way in which they reflect and transmit light. The color of objects is determined by the parts of the spectrum of (incident white) light that are reflected or transmitted without being absorbed. Additional appearance attributes are based on the directional distribution of... |
