Mist nets are nets used to capture wild birds and bats . They are used by hunters and poachers to catch and kill animals, but also by ornithologists and chiropterologists for banding and other research projects. Mist nets are typically made of nylon or polyester mesh suspended between two poles, resembling a volleyball... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mist_net |
Mitchell's embedding theorem , also known as the Freyd–Mitchell theorem or the full embedding theorem , is a result about abelian categories ; it essentially states that these categories, while rather abstractly defined, are in fact concrete categories of modules . This allows one to use element-wise diagram chasing pr... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell's_embedding_theorem |
Mitigation of seismic motion is an important factor in earthquake engineering and construction in earthquake -prone areas. The destabilizing action of an earthquake on constructions may be direct (seismic motion of the ground) or indirect (earthquake-induced landslides , liquefaction of the foundation soils and waves o... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitigation_of_seismic_motion |
MitoMap is a real time haplotyping protocol that analyzes pathogenic variants that cause several mitochondrial diseases.
