At that time it listed a total of 40,982 species, including 3,608 fungi, 3,495 algae, 1,521 bryophytes, 1,176 pteridophytes, 26 gymnosperms an... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redondoviridae | Redondoviruses (members of the Redondoviridae) are a family of human-associated DNA viruses. Their name derives from the inferred circular structure of the viral genome (“” means round in Spanish). Redondoviruses have been identified in DNA sequence based surveys of samples from humans, primarily samples from the oral ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto%20Laporte%20Award | The Otto Laporte Award (1972–2003) was an annual award by the American Physical Society (APS) to "recognize outstanding contributions to fluid dynamics" and to honour Otto Laporte (1902–1971). It was established as the Otto Laporte Memorial Lectureship by the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics in 1972, and became an APS aw... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retroviral%20aspartyl%20protease | Retroviral aspartyl proteases or retropepsins are single domain aspartyl proteases from retroviruses, retrotransposons, and badnaviruses (plant dsDNA viruses). These proteases are generally part of a larger pol or gag polyprotein. Retroviral proteases are homologous to a single domain of the two-domain eukaryotic aspar... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indium%20gallium%20zinc%20oxide | Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is a semiconducting material, consisting of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O). IGZO thin-film transistors (TFT) are used in the TFT backplane of flat-panel displays (FPDs). IGZO-TFT was developed by Hideo Hosono's group at Tokyo Institute of Technology and Japan Scienc... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized%20frequency%20%28signal%20processing%29 | In digital signal processing (DSP), a normalized frequency is a ratio of a variable frequency () and a constant frequency associated with a system (such as a sampling rate, ). Some software applications require normalized inputs and produce normalized outputs, which can be re-scaled to physical units when necessary. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coping%20planning | Coping planning is an approach to supporting people who are distressed. It is part of a biopsychosocial approach to mental health and well-being that comprises healthy environments, responsive parenting, belonging, healthy activities, coping, psychological resilience and treatment of illness. Coping planning normalises... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos%20model | In computing, the chaos model is a structure of software development. Its creator, who used the pseudonym L.B.S. Raccoon, noted that project management models such as the spiral model and waterfall model, while good at managing schedules and staff, didn't provide methods to fix bugs or solve other technical problems. A... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myxococcus%20llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogochensis | Myxococcus is a gram-negative, rod-shaped species of myxobacteria found in soil. It is a predator on other bacteria.
The ends of the rod-shaped vegetative cells taper slightly. The colonies are usually pale brown and show swarming motility. It produces orange, roughly spherical fruiting bodies. A draft sequence of it... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searching%20for%20Whitopia | Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America is a 2009 non-fiction book by Rich Benjamin.
In May 2010, Benjamin briefly summarized his experiences in a TED talk.
Overview
African American journalist Rich Benjamin documents his journeys to find out why more and more white Americans move ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic%20quantization | In theoretical physics, stochastic quantization is a method for modelling quantum mechanics, introduced by Edward Nelson in 1966, and streamlined by Parisi and Wu.
Details
Stochastic quantization serves to quantize Euclidean field theories, and is used for numerical applications, such as numerical simulations of gaug... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damage-associated%20molecular%20pattern | Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules within cells that are a component of the innate immune response released from damaged or dying cells due to trauma or an infection by a pathogen. They are also known as danger signals, and alarmin because they serve as a warning sign for the organism to alert i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate-Phase%20Return-to-Zero | Alternate-Phase Return-to-Zero (APRZ) is an optical line code.
In APRZ the field intensity drops to zero between consecutive bits, and the field phase alternates between neighbouring bits, so that if the phase of the signal is, for example, 0 in even bits (bit number 2n), the phase in odd bit slots (bit number 2n+1) w... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random%20priority%20item%20allocation | Random priority (RP), also called Random serial dictatorship (RSD), is a procedure for fair random assignment - dividing indivisible items fairly among people.
Suppose partners have to divide (or fewer) different items among them. Since the items are indivisible, some partners will necessarily get the less-preferred... |
