https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum%20compaction | The momentum compaction or momentum compaction factor is a measure for the momentum dependence of the recirculation path length for an object that is bound in cyclic motion (closed orbit). It is used in the calculation of particle paths in circular particle accelerators (like synchrotrons), and for astronomical objects... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinsky%20phenomenon | In mathematics, the Pinsky phenomenon is a result in Fourier analysis. This phenomenon was discovered by Mark Pinsky of Northwestern University. It involves the spherical inversion of the Fourier transform.
The phenomenon involves a lack of convergence at a point due to a discontinuity at boundary.
This lack of conver... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective%20potential | The effective potential (also known as effective potential energy) combines multiple, perhaps opposing, effects into a single potential. In its basic form, it is the sum of the 'opposing' centrifugal potential energy with the potential energy of a dynamical system. It may be used to determine the orbits of planets (bot... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downy%20mildew | Downy mildew refers to any of several types of oomycete microbes that are obligate parasites of plants. Downy mildews exclusively belong to the Peronosporaceae family. In commercial agriculture, they are a particular problem for growers of crucifers, grapes and vegetables that grow on vines. The prime example is Perono... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code%20point | A code point, codepoint or code position is a unique position in a quantized n-dimensional space that has been assigned a semantic meaning.
In other words, a code point is a particular position in a table, where the position has been assigned a meaning. The table has discrete positions (1, 2, 3, 4, but not fractions) ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi%20Farms | Kiwi Farms, formerly known as CWCki Forums ( ), is a web forum that facilitates the discussion and harassment of online figures and communities. Their targets are often subject to organized group trolling and stalking, as well as doxxing and real-life harassment. These actions have tied Kiwi Farms to the suicides of th... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dense%20irregular%20connective%20tissue | Dense irregular connective tissue has fibers that are not arranged in parallel bundles as in dense regular connective tissue.
Dense irregular connective tissue consists of mostly collagen fibers. It has less ground substance than loose connective tissue. Fibroblasts are the predominant cell type, scattered sparsely ac... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioiodinated%20serum%20albumin | Radioiodinated serum albumin, abbreviated RISA, is a marker used in identifying blood plasma via the dilution method in renal physiology. |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutch%20%28animal%20cage%29 | A hutch is a type of cage used typically for housing domestic rabbits. Other small animals can also be housed in hutches such as guinea pigs, ferrets, and hamsters.
Most hutches have a frame constructed of wood, including legs to keep the unit off the ground. The floor may be wood, wire mesh, or some combination of t... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell%20PowerConnect | The current portfolio of PowerConnect switches are now being offered as part of the Dell Networking brand: information on this page is an overview of all current and past PowerConnect switches as per August 2013, but any updates on current portfolio will be detailed on the Dell Networking page.
PowerConnect was a Dell... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative%20apparent%20synapomorphy%20analysis | Relative apparent synapomorphy analysis, or RASA, is a method that aims to determine whether a given character is shared between taxa due to shared ancestry or due to convergence. A synapomorphy is a shared trait found among two or more taxa and their most recent common ancestor, whose ancestor in turn does not possess... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOP1 | Ribosome biogenesis protein BOP1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BOP1 gene. It is a WD40 repeat-containing nucleolar protein involved in rRNA processing, thereby controlling the cell cycle. It is required for the maturation of the 25S and 5.8S ribosomal RNAs. It may serve as an essential factor in ribosom... |
