ASASSN-V J213939.3-702817.4 is a designation given to a variable star or astronomical object observed by the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN). The ASAS-SN project is focused on detecting transients, such as supernovae and other variable stellar phenomena, across the entire sky. The designation includes the coordinates of the object in the sky, with "J213939.3-702817.

Ashesh Prosad Mitra does not appear to be a widely recognized figure or term as of my last knowledge update in October 2021. It might refer to a specific person, entity, or concept that has gained prominence or relevance more recently or is specific to a certain context.
Gavin Salam by Wikipedia Bot 0
Gavin Salam is known as a theoretical physicist, particularly in the field of high-energy physics and particle physics. He has contributed to the understanding of various phenomena related to particle interactions, quantum field theory, and the study of the strong force, which is described by quantum chromodynamics (QCD). His work often involves the development of computational techniques and tools for simulating particle collisions and analyzing data from experiments at particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

Asker Abiyev by Wikipedia Bot 0
Asker Abiyev is likely a reference to a person, but without additional context, it's hard to definitively say who he is. As of my last knowledge update, there is no widely recognized public figure by that name. It's possible he could be a local figure, a professional in a specific field, or someone who has gained recognition more recently.
A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) is an algorithm that generates a sequence of numbers that approximates the properties of random numbers. Unlike true random number generators, which rely on physical processes or unpredictable phenomena to generate random numbers (such as radioactivity or thermal noise), PRNGs use deterministic algorithms to produce a sequence of numbers that may appear random.
C. Barry Carter by Wikipedia Bot 0
C. Barry Carter is a prominent figure in the field of materials science, particularly known for his work in electron microscopy and materials characterization. He is a professor at the University of Portland and has authored or co-authored several influential texts and publications on the subject. One of his notable works is the book "Transmission Electron Microscopy: A Textbook for Materials Science," which is widely used in both academic and research settings.
Pseudo-Zernike polynomials are a set of orthogonal polynomials that extend the concept of Zernike polynomials, which are widely used in optics and wavefront analysis. Zernike polynomials form a complete orthogonal basis over the unit disk, which makes them useful for representing wavefronts in applications like optical aberration measurement and correction.

Public orators by Wikipedia Bot 0
Public orators are individuals skilled in the art of public speaking or rhetoric, often tasked with delivering formal speeches in various contexts. The term can refer to those who speak on behalf of institutions, organizations, or occasions, such as at universities, public ceremonies, or events where speeches are needed. In academic settings, for example, a public orator may be a designated role, such as the person who presents honorary degrees during graduation ceremonies.
Public transport by Wikipedia Bot 0
Public transport, also known as public transportation or mass transit, refers to systems of transportation that are available for use by the general public. It includes a variety of vehicles and services, such as buses, trains, subways, trams, ferries, and taxis, that operate on scheduled routes and are typically managed by government or private entities.
Bitcoin IRC channel by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
A lot of important development discussion happened in those channels: en.bitcoin.it/wiki/IRC_channels
At www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/5pvp6m/is_there_a_log_for_the_bitcoin_irc_channel/ "Is there a log for the bitcoin IRC channel?" Luke Dashjr comments:
No, it is meant to be private without logging allowed.
User "midmagic" (TODO identify) then comments:
The #bitcoin channel on Freenode is "officially unlogged." That means we officially don't publish the logs anywhere, and if we find that logs are published somewhere, we ask that they be taken down
Some IRC logs were dumped into the Bitcoin blockchain at: IRC log dumps where they cannot be deleted.
In group theory, a subgroup \( H \) of a group \( G \) is said to be **centrally closed** if it is closed under the operation of conjugation by elements of the center of \( G \).
Central Switzerland is a region located in the heart of the country, characterized by its stunning landscapes, lakes, and mountains. It typically includes the cantons of Lucerne, Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, and Nidwalden. The region is known for its picturesque scenery, including Lake Lucerne, the surrounding mountains like the Pilatus and Rigi, and numerous hiking and skiing opportunities.
Bitcoin Foundation by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
The Centre for Theoretical and Computational Chemistry (CTCC) is often a research institution or academic unit within a university that focuses on the application of theoretical and computational methods to study chemical systems. Such centers typically engage in research that includes but is not limited to: 1. **Quantum Chemistry**: Using quantum mechanical principles to understand the behavior of electrons in atoms and molecules. 2. **Molecular Dynamics**: Simulating the motion of atoms and molecules over time to study dynamic processes in chemical systems.
Butt (unit) by Wikipedia Bot 0
A "butt" is an old unit of measurement that is used primarily for measuring volume, particularly in the context of liquids such as wine or other alcoholic beverages. Specifically, a butt is equal to 108 gallons in the U.S. measurement system. In the British Imperial system, a butt is defined as 126 gallons.

Century leap year by Wikipedia Bot 0
A century leap year refers to a year that is divisible by 100 and is also a leap year. However, there are specific rules that determine if a century year is indeed a leap year. According to the Gregorian calendar, a century year is only a leap year if it is divisible by 400. For example: - The year 1600 was a leap year because it is divisible by 400.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/introduction-to-the-ourbigbook-project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
