An aortic aneurysm is abnormal dilation of part of the aorta. Thoracic and abdominal locations have different neighboring anatomy and can arise through different wall processes. Its mechanical behavior depends on the vessel wall as well as the internal pressure.

A femoral aneurysm is aneurysmal dilation involving the femoral arterial region. Its position relates it to neighboring nerves, veins and limb blood supply. A true arterial-wall dilation is distinct from a blood-containing space communicating through a wall defect.

For an entire function $f$, use the complex logarithm $L$ with argument in $(0,2\pi )$. The unit-circle integral in the title uses the branch's one-sided boundary values at its crossing with the cut. On a keyhole contour, the outward upper bank has $L=\log x$, and the inward lower bank has $L=\log x+2\pi i$. Their combined integral of $f(L-i\pi )$ is $-2\pi i{\int }_{\epsilon }^{1}f(x)dx$. The inner circle contributes $O(\epsilon |\log \epsilon |)$, which vanishes. The Cauchy integral theorem on the slit plane therefore gives the identity.

On $z=e^{i\theta }$, $|L-i\pi |=|\theta -\pi |\le \pi$. The estimation lemma consequently givesSubtracting the middle branch value $i\pi$ centres the weight and produces this bound. The contour crosses the cut only in the limiting boundary-value interpretation, so it is not a closed contour inside the logarithm's domain.

If an entire function $h$ satisfied $h(z{)}^2=z$, then $h(0)=0$. Differentiating would give $2h(0)h^{\prime }(0)=1$, a contradiction. More generally, the order of every zero of a square of a holomorphic function is even, so a simple zero prevents a holomorphic square root on any neighborhood containing it. A square root can still exist on a slit domain avoiding the zero. The identity theorem can force this obstruction from values specified only on a sequence accumulating elsewhere in a connected domain.

A particulate carbon-rich product of incomplete combustion, with structure and impurities depending on formation conditions.

A carbon-rich, generally impure product of heating wood or other suitable organic material with restricted air access.

The carbon-rich porous residue produced by destructive distillation of suitable coal, used in traditional iron smelting.

A carbon-rich geological material with complex organic and mineral composition; it is not pure elemental carbon.

Taurine is 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, an amino sulfonic acid with a two-carbon chain between its amino and sulfonic-acid groups. Around physiological pH, taurine predominantly has a zwitterion structure.

Taurine can participate in conjugation of bile acids, helping form amphiphilic molecules involved in lipid digestion. Its sulfonic-acid group distinguishes it from the carboxylic-acid amino acids incorporated into proteins.^[ref]

Cystine is the disulfide formed when two cysteine units are linked through their sulfur atoms. Oxidation forms the disulfide bond; reduction can regenerate two thiol groups.

Within a protein, the analogous linkage joins two cysteine residues and can stabilize a folded structure or connect separate chains. This makes sulfur oxidation state a direct link between chemical reactivity and protein structure.

A holder may choose a shout time $\tau$ and receive $\max (S_T-S_{\tau },0)+S_{\tau }-K=\max (S_T,S_{\tau })-K$, or choose no shout and receive $(S_T-K{)}^{+}$. The lock-in term is signed, so shouting below strike can create a negative payoff. Backward induction must compare this actual contract with waiting. For $S_0=100$, multipliers $1.1,0.9$, bank growth $1.05$, strike 101 and two periods, the optimal policy waits at zero, shouts after the first up move, and never shouts after the first down move. The risk-neutral price is $575/49$. Claim payoffs at a recombined stock node can differ according to earlier shout history.

Formation of an amalgam. The historical report in The Seats and Causes of Diseases Investigated by Anatomy by Giovanni Battista Morgagni invokes it as a supposed way of reducing a swallowed silver coin; this does not establish therapeutic efficacy or safety. ^[ref]

The finite alphabet of symbols permitted on the stack of a pushdown automaton. It may contain nonterminal symbols, terminal symbols, and a fresh stack bottom marker, independently of the input alphabet.

An airborne substance or particle capable of contributing to harmful environmental or health effects. Classification depends on the substance and exposure, rather than requiring visible smoke or a detectable odor.

Suspended solid or liquid particles in air. Size affects transport, deposition and which fraction a measurement captures; equal particle mass can conceal different size distributions and compositions.

A delayed acknowledgement postpones a response briefly so that one acknowledgement may cover more data or accompany returning data. Its timer can interact with Nagle's algorithm to delay a short exchange.

A historical designation used for the vinegar-forming surface growth. It should not be assumed to identify every modern vinegar organism as one species.

Highly concentrated acetic acid, distinguished from the dilute acid used in other pharmaceutical formulas.

A collection of pus in tissues around a tonsil. The localized cavity differs from uncomplicated diffuse tonsillitis, despite overlapping pain and inflammation.

A localized collection of pus in the retropharyngeal space. Its deep neck location can affect swallowing or the airway, distinguishing it from a superficial throat lesion.
