| Microeconomics Microeconomics (from Greekeconomics that studies how households and firms and some states make decisions to allocate limited resources, typically in markets where goods or services are being bought and sold.

| Sociobiology Sociobiology is a neo-Darwinian synthesis of scientific disciplines that attempts to explain social behavior in all species by considering the evolutionary advantages the behaviors may have. It is often considered a branch of biology and sociology, but also draws from ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archaeology, population genetics and other disciplines. Within the study of human societies, sociobiology is closely related to the fields of human behavioral ecology and evolutionary psychology. Sociobiology | |

| Theory of computation The theory of computation is the branch of computer science and mathematics that deals with whether and how efficiently problems can be solved on a model of computation, using an algorithm. The field is divided into two major branchescomputability theory and complexity theory, but both branches deal with formal models of computation.In order to perform a rigorous study of computation, computer scientists work with a mathematical abstraction of computers called a model of computation.

| Thomas Hunt Morgan Thomas Hunt Morgan (September 25, 1866 December 4, 1945) was an American geneticist and embryologist. Morgan received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University in 1890 and researched embryology during his tenure at Bryn Mawr. Following the rediscovery of Mendelian inheritance in 1900, Morgan's research moved to the study of mutation in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Thomas_Hunt_Morgan | |

| Extension of the periodic table beyond the seventh period periods in the periodic table of chemical elements, culminating with atomic number 118. If further elements are discovered, they will be placed in an eighth, and possibly ninth, period. The additional periods are larger than the seventh period, as they have an additional so-called g-block, containing 18 elements with partially filled g-orbitals in each period. An eight-period table containing this block was suggested by Glenn T. Seaborg in 1969. Extension_of_the_periodic_table_beyond_the_seventh_period | |
| F-block The f-block of the periodic table of the elements consists of those elements (sometimes referred to as the inner transition elements or rare earth metals) for which, in the atomic ground state, the highest-energy electrons occupy f-orbitals.Unlike the other blocks, the conventional divisions of the f-block follow periods of similar atomic number rather than groups of similar electron configuration. Thus, the f-block is divided into the lanthanoid series and the actinoid series. F-block | |
| Figure of speech A figure of speech is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as any figure of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative interpretation. A figure of speech is sometimes called a rhetoric or a locution. Figure_of_speech | |
