| Genetically modified food Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms. The DNA of genetically modified organisms has been modified through genetic engineering, unlike similar food organisms developed through the conventional genetic modification of selective breeding (plant breeding and animal breeding) or mutation breeding.

| Sexual assault Sexual assault is an assault of a sexual nature on another person. Although sexual assaults most frequently are by a man on a woman, it may be by a man on a man, woman on a man or woman on a woman.

| Megatsunami Megatsunami, also known as iminami (Japanese for "wave of purification"), is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis. Unlike usual tsunamis, which originate from tectonic activity and the raising or lowering of the sea floor, known megatsunamis have originated from large scale impact events such as landslides and meteor impacts.

| Arctic Tern The Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a circumpolar distribution, breeding colonially in Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Europe, Asia, and North America (as far south as Brittany and Massachusetts). The species is strongly migratory, seeing two summers each year as it migrates from its northern breeding grounds to the oceans around Antarctica and back (about 24,000 miles) each year.

| Star system star system or stellar system is a small number of stars which orbit each other, bound by gravitational attraction. A large number of stars bound by gravitation is generally called a star cluster or galaxy, although, broadly speaking, they are also star systems.

| Music of Hawaii The music of Hawaii includes an array of traditional and popular styles, ranging from native Hawaiian folk music to modern rock and hip hop. Hawaii's musical contributions to the music of the United States are out of proportion to the state's small size. Styles like slack-key guitar are well-known worldwide, while Hawaiian-tinged music is a frequent part of Hollywood soundtracks. Hawaii also made a major contribution to country music with the introduction of the steel guitar. Music_of_Hawaii | |
| Presolar grains Presolar grains are isotopically-distinct clusters of material found in the fine-grained matrix of primitive meteorites, whose differences from the surrounding meteorite suggest that they are older than the solar system. Crystallinity in these clusters ranges from that of micrometre-sized silicon carbide crystals, down to that of diamond and unlayered graphene crystals with fewer than 100 atoms. Presolar_grains | |

| Mauna Kea Observatory The Observatories at Mauna Kea, (MKO), are an independent collection of astronomical research facilities located on the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawai'i, USA. The facilities are located in a special land use zone known as the "Astronomy Precinct," which is located in the Mauna Kea Science Reserve. The Astronomy Precinct was established in 1967 and is located on land protected by the Historical Preservation Act for its significance to Hawaiian culture. Mauna_Kea_Observatory | |

| Symplectic geometry Symplectic geometry is a branch of differential geometry and differential topology which studies symplectic manifolds; that is, differentiable manifolds equipped with a closed, nondegenerate 2-form. Symplectic geometry has its origins in the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics where the phase space of certain classical systems takes on the structure of a symplectic manifold.

| Cosmochemistry Cosmochemistry is concerned with the origin and development of the elements and their isotopes, primarily within the Solar System. Harold Urey. Closely related fields are astrochemistry, a branch of astronomy concerned with measuring chemical elements in other parts of our Galaxy and in other galaxies; astrophysics, which includes the study of physical processes in stars, supernovas, and our own solar system that may result in chemical and isotopic changes; and planetary science, of which cosmochemistry is in large part a subdiscipline.

| Solar variation Solar variations are changes in the amount of solar radiation emitted by the Sun. There are periodic components to these variations, the principal one being the 11-year solar cycle (or sunspot cycle), as well as aperiodic fluctuations. Solar activity has been measured via satellites during recent decades and through 'proxy' variables in prior times. Solar_variation | |
| Pornography in Japan Japanese pornography has some unique features which separate it from pornography in other countries, especially Western pornography. It is quite common and frequently translated and exported to Western cultures because of its large spectrum of themes and media.

| Fusarium oxysporum Fusarium oxysporum, also referred to as Panama disease or Agent Green, is a fungus that causes Fusarium wilt disease in more than a hundred species of plants. It does so by colonizing the water-conducting vessels (xylem) of the plant. As a result of this blockage and breakdown of xylem, symptoms appear in plants such as leaf wilting, yellowing and eventually plant death.Interest in Fusarium oxysporum as a herbicide was first raised after the discovery in the 1960s that it was the causative agent in the destruction of the Hawaiian coca population.

| Anorthosite Anorthosite () is a phaneritic, intrusive igneous rock characterized by a predominance of plagioclase feldspar (90–100%), and a minimal mafic component (0–10%). Pyroxene, ilmenite, magnetite, and olivine are the mafic minerals most commonly present. Anorthosite on Earth can be divided into two typesProterozoic anorthosite (also known as massif or massif-type anorthosite) and Archean anorthosite. Anorthosite | |
| Little Tern The Little Tern (Sternula albifrons) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. It was formerly placed into the genus Sterna, which now is restricted to the large white terns (Bridge et al., 2005).

| Caspian Tern The Caspian Tern (Hydroprogne caspia, formerly Sterna caspia; syn. Hydroprogne tschegrava) is a species of tern, with a subcosmopolitan but scattered distribution. Despite its extensive range, it is monotypic, with no subspecies accepted. In New Zealand it is also known by the Maori name Taranui.It is the world's largest tern with a length of 48–56 cm, a wingspan of 127–140 cm and a weight of 574–782g. Caspian_Tern | |
| Rotuma Rotuma is a Fijian Dependency, consisting of the island of Rotuma and nearby islets.
