Committed dose equivalent 1970-01-01
The term "committed dose equivalent" (often abbreviated as "CDE") is used in the field of radiation protection and health physics to quantify the radiation dose an individual is expected to receive over a specific period due to the intake of radioactive materials. The committed dose equivalent considers both the type of radiation and the biological effects associated with exposure over time.
Zeno machine 1970-01-01
The Zeno machine is a hypothetical concept in the field of computer science and philosophy, often discussed in the context of computability and the limits of computation. It is named after Zeno's paradoxes, which are philosophical problems that explore the nature of motion and infinity. In the context of computation, the Zeno machine is usually characterized by its ability to perform an infinite number of operations in a finite amount of time.
Cyclic module 1970-01-01
Lattice (module) 1970-01-01
In the context of mathematics, specifically in the area of abstract algebra, a **lattice** is a partially ordered set (poset) in which any two elements have a unique supremum (least upper bound, also called join) and an infimum (greatest lower bound, also called meet).
Projective cover 1970-01-01
In the context of category theory and module theory, a **projective cover** is a particular type of object that serves as a "minimal" projective object that maps onto a given object (or module) in a way that reflects certain structural properties.
Torsionless module 1970-01-01
In the context of module theory, a **torsionless module** is a specific type of module over a ring. To understand torsionless modules, we first need to define the concept of torsion in this setting.
Daisaku Ikeda 1970-01-01
Daisaku Ikeda is a Japanese Buddhist philosopher, educator, author, and peace activist, best known as the third president of the Soka Gakkai International (SGI), a lay Buddhist organization that promotes the teachings of Nichiren Buddhism. He was born on January 2, 1928, in Tokyo, Japan.
Allele-specific oligonucleotide 1970-01-01
Allele-specific oligonucleotides (ASOs) are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA sequences that are designed to hybridize specifically to particular alleles of a gene. These oligonucleotides are typically 15-30 nucleotides long and are used in various applications, primarily in genetic analysis and diagnostics.
Donna Haraway 1970-01-01
Donna Haraway is an influential American scholar, best known for her work in the fields of feminist theory, science and technology studies, and the philosophy of biology. She gained prominence with her 1985 essay "A Manifesto for Cyborgs," in which she explores the relationships between technology, identity, and gender, proposing the concept of the "cyborg" as a hybrid entity that challenges traditional boundaries between human and machine, and between male and female.
Digital signature forgery 1970-01-01
Digital signature forgery refers to the act of creating a false digital signature with the intent to deceive or misrepresent the authenticity of a message or document. Digital signatures are cryptographic tools used to verify the integrity and authenticity of digital messages or documents. They rely on public key cryptography, where a user has a private key that is used to create a signature and a corresponding public key that others can use to verify the signature.
Doug Stinson 1970-01-01
Doug Stinson could refer to a few different individuals, but he is most commonly known as a mathematician and educator, particularly recognized for his contributions to the field of mathematics and statistics. He has authored several books and articles related to mathematics, including works on probability and combinatorial design.
Kryptographik 1970-01-01
As of my last update in October 2023, "Kryptographik" doesn't refer to a widely recognized term, organization, or concept in the fields of cryptography, technology, or popular culture. It is possible that it could be a product name, a brand, or a term that has emerged more recently or is specific to a niche.
LILI-128 1970-01-01
LILI-128 (Lightweight Block Cipher for Low-Resource Devices) is a lightweight block cipher that was designed for use in resource-constrained environments, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It was submitted to the NIST Lightweight Cryptography standardization process, which aims to create cryptographic solutions that are efficient in terms of performance and resource consumption. LILI-128 operates on 128-bit block sizes and supports a key size of 128 bits as well.
MESH (cipher) 1970-01-01
MESH, which stands for "Modified Encryption Standard for Home," is a block cipher that was designed to be efficient for use in home and small office environments. It is characterized by its simplicity and ease of implementation. MESH is constructed to provide a suitable level of security for applications where strong encryption is needed but where computational resources may be limited.
Racemic crystallography 1970-01-01
Racemic crystallography is a technique used in the study of substances that exist as racemic mixtures, which are composed of equal amounts of two enantiomers (mirror-image isomers) of a chiral compound. These enantiomers often have identical physical properties in a symmetrical environment, making it challenging to distinguish between them using traditional methods. In racemic crystallography, researchers focus on the crystallization of these mixtures to study their solid-state properties and structural features.
Jan Tauc 1970-01-01
Jan Tauc is a notable figure known for his work in the fields of physics and materials science, particularly in the study of semiconductors and related materials. He has contributed to the understanding of optical and electrical properties of various materials.
Lubomír Dvořák 1970-01-01
Lubomír Dvořák is a name that may refer to different individuals, but one notable person is a Czech mathematician known for his work in the fields of topology and mathematical logic.
17th-century Greek mathematicians 1970-01-01
In the 17th century, Greek mathematicians were part of a broader European revival of interest in the classical works of Greek scholars like Euclid, Archimedes, and Ptolemy. However, during this period, Greece was under Ottoman rule, and the local mathematical contributions were not as prominent as in earlier centuries. Many Greek scholars became involved in the European intellectual movement, often translating ancient texts or contributing to mathematics through the lens of their studies in Western European universities.
Aminoallyl nucleotide 1970-01-01
Aminoallyl nucleotides are modified nucleotides that have an amino group and an allyl group integrated into their structure. These nucleotides are often used in molecular biology and biochemistry for various applications, primarily in the context of nucleic acid labeling, sequencing, and microarray experiments.
Anfinsen's dogma 1970-01-01
Anfinsen's dogma, named after biochemist Christian Anfinsen, refers to the principle that the three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by its amino acid sequence. This concept emerged from Anfinsen's work in the 1960s, particularly his experiments with the enzyme ribonuclease A.
