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) ...

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...

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/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...
