  2. Amdahl's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl's_law

    In computer architecture, Amdahl's law (or Amdahl's argument [1]) is a formula that shows how much faster a task can be completed when you add more resources to the system. The law can be stated as: "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is ...

[11] aggro An abbreviation of 'aggravation' or 'aggression'. 'Causing aggro' or 'aggroing' in a video game means to attract hostile attention from NPCs or enemies to attack the player-character.

  4. Rayleigh–Jeans law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh–Jeans_law

    Comparison of Rayleigh–Jeans law with Wien approximation and Planck's law, for a body of 5800 K temperature.. In physics, the Rayleigh–Jeans law is an approximation to the spectral radiance of electromagnetic radiation as a function of wavelength from a black body at a given temperature through classical arguments.

  5. Cyclohexanone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexanone

    Cyclohexanone is produced by the oxidation of cyclohexane in air, typically using cobalt catalysts: [11]. C 6 H 12 + O 2 → (CH 2) 5 CO + H 2 O. This process forms cyclohexanol as a by-product, and this mixture, called "KA Oil" for ketone-alcohol oil, is the main feedstock for the production of adipic acid.

    Loss-of-function mutations, also called inactivating mutations, result in the gene product having less or no function (being partially or wholly inactivated). When the allele has a complete loss of function ( null allele ), it is often called an amorph or amorphic mutation in Muller's morphs schema.

  9. Dirac delta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_delta_function

    The delta function was introduced by physicist Paul Dirac, and has since been applied routinely in physics and engineering to model point masses and instantaneous impulses. It is called the delta function because it is a continuous analogue of the Kronecker delta function, which is usually defined on a discrete domain and takes values 0 and 1.
