568,518 | Hymeks were notably used as bankers on the Lickey Incline, propelling mainly freight trains from Bromsgrove to Blackwell. During trials, it was discovered that the Hymeks changed between first and second gear at about the speed required to bank a train up the incline, and so they tended to "hunt" between the two gears.... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=2725987 | 568,228 |

927,549 | The idea behind ray casting is to trace rays from the eye, one per pixel, and find the closest object blocking the path of that ray – think of an image as a screen-door, with each square in the screen being a pixel. This is then the object the eye sees through that pixel. Using the material properties and the effect of... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=447625 | 927,061 |
949,003 | The biomolecular structure forms the 3D configuration of the protein. Understanding the protein's structure aids in the identification of the protein's interactions and function.

164,977 | Semiconductors had been used in the electronics field for some time before the invention of the transistor. Around the turn of the 20th century they were quite common as detectors in radios, used in a device called a "cat's whisker" developed by Jagadish Chandra Bose and others. These detectors were somewhat troublesom... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=40344 | 164,892 |
40,320 | The doubling period is often misquoted as 18 months because of a prediction by Moore's colleague, Intel executive David House. In 1975, House noted that Moore's revised law of doubling transistor count every 2 years in turn implied that computer chip performance would roughly double every 18 months (with no increase in... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=39418 | 40,305 |

233,664 | Case–control studies are observational in nature and thus do not provide the same level of evidence as randomized controlled trials.

838,556 | Scapular winging is amenable to surgical correction, namely operative scapular fixation. Scapular fixation is restriction and stabilization of the position of the scapula, putting it in closer apposition to the rib cage and reducing winging.

4,965 | Described by creative director Cory Barlog as a reimagining of the franchise, a major gameplay change is that Kratos makes prominent use of a magical battle axe instead of his signature double-chained blades.

48,806 | A central claim of ANNs is that they embody new and powerful general principles for processing information. These principles are ill-defined.

1,491,279 | More general criticism of Riker's size principle has been based on the vagueness of its predictive ability, especially when information is not perfect.
