The award for Meritorious Service to Planetary Science was established by the DPS to recognize and honor ind... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masursky_Award |
The Matalon–Matkowsky–Clavin–Joulin theory refers to a theoretical hydrodynamic model of a premixed flame with a large-amplitude flame wrinkling, developed independently by Moshe Matalon & Bernard J. Matkowsky and Paul Clavin & Guy Joulin , [ 1 ] [ 2 ] following the pioneering study by Paul Clavin and Forman A. William... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matalon–Matkowsky–Clavin–Joulin_theory |
In metadata , a match report is a report that compares two distinct data dictionaries and creates a list of the data elements that have been identified as semantically equivalent .
Match reports are critical for systems that wish to automatically exchange data, such as intelligent software agents. [ 1 ] If one compute... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_report |
Matched molecular pair analysis ( MMPA ) is a method in cheminformatics that compares the properties of two molecules that differ only by a single chemical transformation, such as the substitution of a hydrogen atom by a chlorine one. Such pairs of compounds are known as matched molecular pairs (MMP). Because the struc... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matched_molecular_pair_analysis |
In mathematics , the matching distance [ 1 ] [ 2 ] is a metric on the space of size functions .
The core of the definition of matching distance is the observation that the
information contained in a size function can be combinatorially stored in a formal series of lines and points of the plane, called respectively co... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_distance |
In the mathematical fields of graph theory and combinatorics , a matching polynomial (sometimes called an acyclic polynomial ) is a generating function of the numbers of matchings of various sizes in a graph. It is one of several graph polynomials studied in algebraic graph theory .
Several different types of matching... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_polynomial |
Matchstick models are scale models made from matches as a hobby . Regular matches are not used, however, but a special modeling type which do not have the combustible heads, and can be bought from art and craft shops. Though before the serial production of these, actual matches were used with heads trimmed off, or kept... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchstick_model |
Mate choice is one of the primary mechanisms under which evolution can occur. It is characterized by a "selective response by animals to particular stimuli" which can be observed as behavior. [ 1 ] In other words, before an animal engages with a potential mate, they first evaluate various aspects of that mate which are... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_choice |
In humans, males and females differ in their strategies to acquire mates and focus on certain qualities. There are two main categories of strategies that both sexes utilize: short-term and long-term. Human mate choice , an aspect of sexual selection in humans , depends on a variety of factors, such as ecology, demograp... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_choice_in_humans |
Mate guarding is a reproductive behaviour , primarily of males, in an attempt to increase the likelihood of success of their own sperm fertilizing the eggs of females when competition is involved. Mate guarding behaviour can be pre- or post-copulatory. [ 1 ] Studies on the behaviour both based on theory and through exp... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mate_guarding |
A material is a substance or mixture of substances that constitutes an object . Materials can be pure or impure, living or non-living matter. Materials can be classified on the basis of their physical and chemical properties , or on their geological origin or biological function. Materials science is the study of mater... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Material |
