Dose rate is a measure of how much radiation a person or object is exposed to per unit of time. It is typically expressed in units such as millisieverts per hour (mSv/h) or milligrays per hour (mGy/h). This concept is vital in radiation safety, estimate exposure, and is crucial in determining the safety limits for work with or around radioactive materials.

Sustenance refers to the food and drink that a person, animal, or plant requires to remain alive and healthy. It can also refer to the maintaining of something or someone in life or existence, or the process of being sustained.

Mullah is generally used to refer to a Muslim man, educated in Islamic theology and sacred law. The title, given to some Islamic clergy, is derived from the Arabic word مَوْلَى mawlā, meaning vicar, master and guardian. In large parts of the Muslim world, particularly Iran, Azerbaijan, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Turkey, Central Asia, Somalia and South Asia, it is the name commonly given to local Islamic clerics or mosque leaders. The title has also been used in some Sephardic Jewish communities to refer to the communitys leadership, especially religious leadership. It is primarily understood in the Muslim world as a term of respect for an educated man.

A Wollaston prism is an optical device, invented by William Hyde Wollaston, that manipulates polarized light. It separates light into two separate linearly polarized outgoing beams with orthogonal polarization. The two beams will be polarized according to the optical axis of the two right angle prisms. The Wollaston prism consists of two orthogonal prisms of birefringent material—typically a uniaxial material such as calcite. These prisms are cemented together on their base (traditionally with Canada balsam) to form two right triangle prisms with perpendicular optic axes. Outgoing light beams diverge from the prism as ordinary and extraordinary rays due to the differences in the indexes of refraction, with the angle of divergence determined by the prisms wedge angle and the wavelength of the light. Commercial prisms are available with divergence angles from less than 1° to about 45°.

An authoritarian state is a system of government where power is held by a single authority or leader who exercises centralized and unchallenged power. This system restricts individual freedoms, controls most aspects of public and private life, and often suppresses political dissent. While maintaining stability and order, authoritarian states often disregard aspects of democracy, human rights, and rule of law. Decisions are made by the authority figure without consultation with other entities or the public.

Manilkara zapota, commonly known as sapodilla ([ˌsapoˈðiʝa]), sapote, naseberry, nispero or chicle, is a long-lived, evergreen tree native to southern Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. An example natural occurrence is in coastal Yucatán in the Petenes mangroves ecoregion, where it is a subdominant plant species. It was introduced to the Philippines during Spanish colonization. It is grown in large quantities in Mexico and in tropical Asia including India, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh. The specific epithet zapota is from the Spanish zapote [saˈpote], which ultimately derives from the Nahuatl word tzapotl.
