https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20glycoside%20hydrolase%20families
Glycoside hydrolases (O-Glycosyl hydrolases) are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of numer...

The Robert J. Sias senior resident award for excellence in clinical dermatology recognizes the outstanding clinical skills of a graduating resident at the University of Minnesota department of dermatology, and is presented annually at the Resident Graduation Celebration in June. The recipient is chosen by faculty and s...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geary%27s%20C
Geary's C is a measure of spatial autocorrelation that attempts to determine if observations of the same variable are spatially autocorrelated globally (rather than at the neighborhood level). Spatial autocorrelation is more complex than autocorrelation because the correlation is multi-dimensional and bi-directional. ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quad-edge
A quad-edge data structure is a computer representation of the topology of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional map, that is, a graph drawn on a (closed) surface. It was first described by Jorge Stolfi and Leonidas J. Guibas. It is a variant of the earlier winged edge data structure. Overview The fundamental idea b...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impulse%20generator
An impulse generator is an electrical apparatus which produces very short high-voltage or high-current surges. Such devices can be classified into two types: impulse voltage generators and impulse current generators. High impulse voltages are used to test the strength of electric power equipment against lightning and s...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebesgue%27s%20universal%20covering%20problem
Lebesgue's universal covering problem is an unsolved problem in geometry that asks for the convex shape of smallest area that can cover every planar set of diameter one. The diameter of a set by definition is the least upper bound of the distances between all pairs of points in the set. A shape covers a set if it conta...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-Zernike%20polynomials
In mathematics, pseudo-Zernike polynomials are well known and widely used in the analysis of optical systems. They are also widely used in image analysis as shape descriptors. Definition They are an orthogonal set of complex-valued polynomials defined as where and orthogonality on the unit disk is given as where t...

A cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) or cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (CPRNG) is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. It is also loosely known as a cryptographic random number generator (CRNG). Background Most ...
