| Frequency-shift keying Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is a frequency modulation scheme in which digital information is transmitted through discrete frequency changes of a carrier wave. The simplest FSK is binary FSK (BFSK). BFSK literally implies using a couple of discrete frequencies to transmit binary (0s and 1s) information. With this scheme, the "1" is called the mark frequency and the "0" is called the space frequency. The time domain of an FSK modulated carrier is illustrated in the figures to the right.

| Felix Klein Felix Christian Klein (25 April 1849 22 June 1925) was a German mathematician, known for his work in group theory, function theory, non-Euclidean geometry, and on the connections between geometry and group theory.

| Shor's algorithm Shor's algorithm, first introduced by mathematician Peter Shor, is a quantum algorithm for integer factorization. On a quantum computer, to factor an integer , Shor's algorithm takes polynomial time in , specifically , demonstrating that integer factorization is in the complexity class BQP. This is exponentially faster than the best-known classical factoring algorithm, the general number field sieve, which works in sub-exponential time - about . Peter Shor discovered the eponymous algorithm in 1994. Shor's_algorithm | |

| Cyclone meteorology, a cyclone refers to an area of closed, circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the Earth.

| Ornithology Ornithology (from Greekornis, ornithos, "bird"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is a branch of zoology that concerns the study of birds. Several aspects of ornithology differ from related disciplines, due partly to the high visibility and the aesthetic appeal of birds. Most marked among these is the extent of studies undertaken by amateurs working within the parameters of strict scientific methodology. Ornithology | |
| Chain letter A typical chain letter consists of a message that attempts to induce the recipient to make a number of copies of the letter and then pass them on to as many recipients as possible. Common methods used in chain letters include emotionally manipulative stories, get-rich-quick pyramid schemes, and the exploitation of superstition to threaten the recipient with bad luck or even physical violence or death if he or she "breaks the chain" and refuses to adhere to the conditions set out in the letter.

| Lake-effect snow Lake-effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, providing energy and picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the lee shores.

| Gyroscope A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum. The device is a spinning wheel or disk whose axle is free to take any orientation. This orientation changes much less in response to a given external torque than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the gyroscope's high rate of spin. Gyroscope | |

| Condorcet method A Condorcet method is any single-winner election method that meets the Condorcet criterion, that is, which always selects the Condorcet winner, the candidate who would beat each of the other candidates in a run-off election, if such a candidate exists. In modern examples, voters rank candidates in order of preference. There are then multiple, slightly differing methods for calculating the winner, due to the need to resolve circular ambiguities—Kemeny-Young method, Ranked Pairs, and the Schulze method.

| Pink noise Pink noise or 1/ƒ noise is a signal or process with a frequency spectrum such that the power spectral density is proportional to the reciprocal of the frequency. For pink noise, each octave carries an equal amount of noise power. The name arises from being intermediate between white noise (1/ƒ0) and red noise (1/ƒ2, more commonly known as Brownian noise).Within the scientific literature the term 1/ƒ noise is used a little more loosely to refer to any noise with a power spectral density of the form Pink_noise | |
| Sherman Antitrust Act The Sherman Antitrust Act (Sherman Act, July 2, 1890, ch. 647, , ) was the first United States Federal statute to limit cartels and monopolies.
