  2. Meeting engagement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meeting_engagement

    Meeting engagements can also occur when opposing forces are aware of the general presence but not the exact location of each other and both decide to attack immediately. On contact, commanders quickly act to gain the advantage. Speed of action and movement, coupled with both direct and indirect fire, are essential.

  3. Adverse drug reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adverse_drug_reaction

    Type A: augmented pharmacological effects, which are dose-dependent and predictable [5]; Type A reactions, which constitute approximately 80% of adverse drug reactions, are usually a consequence of the drug's primary pharmacological effect (e.g., bleeding when using the anticoagulant warfarin) or a low therapeutic index of the drug (e.g., nausea from digoxin), and they are therefore predictable.

  4. Zintl phase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zintl_phase

    Another mode of reaction is the formation of endohedral complexes where the metal is encapsulated inside the cluster. These types of complexes lend themselves to comparison with the solid state structure of the corresponding Zintl phase. [16] These reactions tend to be unpredictable and highly dependent on temperature, among other reaction ...

  5. Unintended consequences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_consequences

    An erosion gully in Australia caused by rabbits, an unintended consequence of their introduction as game animals. In the social sciences, unintended consequences (sometimes unanticipated consequences or unforeseen consequences, more colloquially called knock-on effects) are outcomes of a purposeful action that are not intended or foreseen.

  6. Location-based recommendation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Location-based_recommendation

    Location-based recommendation is a recommender system that incorporates location information, such as that from a mobile device, into algorithms to attempt to provide more-relevant recommendations to users. This could include recommendations for restaurants, museums, or other points of interest or events near the user's location.

  7. Enzyme inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_inhibitor

    These electrophilic groups react with amino acid side chains to form covalent adducts. [51] The residues modified are those with side chains containing nucleophiles such as hydroxyl or sulfhydryl groups; these include the amino acids serine (that reacts with DFP, see the "DFP reaction" diagram), and also cysteine, threonine, or tyrosine. [53]

  8. Disappearing polymorph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearing_polymorph

    Ice-nine has been described as a fictional parallel—a seed crystal triggering a chain reaction akin to the disappearing polymorph phenomenon. [ 5 ] [ 36 ] In an indirect homage to Cat's Cradle , Ice-nine and its doomsday scenario is also mentioned in the 2009 video game 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors .

  9. Japanese reaction to Fukushima nuclear accident - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_reaction_to...

    Nuclear power and mankind cannot coexist. We survivors of the atomic bomb have said this all along. And yet, the use of nuclear power was camouflaged as 'peaceful' and continued to progress. You never know when there's going to be a natural disaster. You can never say that there will never be a nuclear accident. [120]
