https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organization | Self-organization, also called spontaneous order in the social sciences, is a process where some form of overall order arises from local interactions between parts of an initially disordered system. The process can be spontaneous when sufficient energy is available, not needing control by any external agent. It is ofte... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash%20and%20Grab%20%28biology%29 | Smash and Grab is the name given to a technique developed by Charles S. Hoffman and Fred Winston used in molecular biology to rescue plasmids from yeast transformants into Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, in order to amplify and purify them. In addition, it can be used to prepare yeast genomic DNA (and DNA from... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized%20Lagrangian%20mean | In continuum mechanics, the generalized Lagrangian mean (GLM) is a formalism – developed by – to unambiguously split a motion into a mean part and an oscillatory part. The method gives a mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian description for the flow field, but appointed to fixed Eulerian coordinates.
