Crispate usually refers to something that is curled, crinkled, or wrinkled in appearance. It is often used in botany to describe the texture or form of leaves, petals or other parts of a plant.

Pteropogon is a genus within the family Apogonidae, commonly known as cardinalfish. The species within this genus are typically marine fish found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. They are relatively small, nocturnal fish, recognized for their vibrant colours and distinctive mouth shape.

Carpodacus is a genus of birds in the finch family. These birds differentiate themselves by their colorful plumage. The genus includes species such as the Purple Finch, Cassins Finch, and House Finch, which are generally found in North America and Eurasia.

Malignant anemia, also referred to as pernicious anemia, is a blood disorder characterized by the bodys inability to absorb sufficient amounts of vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract, leading to insufficient red blood cell production. As vitamin B12 is essential for the production of red blood cells, this deficient absorption affects the size and number of red blood cells, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, pallor, and sometimes serious neurological damage.

The executor-heir relation refers to the connection between the executor of an estate, who is responsible for carrying out the terms of a will, and the heir, who is the person entitled to inherit the property, assets, or rights of the deceased. This relationship is often characterized by legal obligations, duties, and responsibilities that the executor has towards the heir, including managing and distributing the estate according to the deceased’s wishes and the law.

Arthur Compton was an American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his discovery of the Compton Effect. His work significantly contributed to the development of quantum mechanics and confirmed the dual nature of electromagnetic radiation as both particles and waves. The Compton Effect demonstrated the particle nature of light and resulted in a shift in wavelength after photons collided with electrons. He also contributed to the field of cosmic radiation which later led to the development of nuclear physics. During World War II, he was a key figure in the Manhattan Project that developed the atomic bomb.

A synchrotron is a particular type of cyclic particle accelerator, descended from the cyclotron, in which the accelerating particle beam travels around a fixed closed-loop path. The magnetic field which bends the particle beam into its closed path increases with time during the accelerating process, being synchronized to the increasing kinetic energy of the particles. The synchrotron is one of the first accelerator concepts to enable the construction of large-scale facilities, since bending, beam focusing and acceleration can be separated into different components. The most powerful modern particle accelerators use versions of the synchrotron design. The largest synchrotron-type accelerator, also the largest particle accelerator in the world, is the 27-kilometre-circumference (17 mi) Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, built in 2008 by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). It can accelerate beams of protons to an energy of 6.5 tera electronvolts (TeV or 1012 eV).
The synchrotron principle was invented by Vladimir Veksler in 1944. Edwin McMillan constructed the first electron synchrotron in 1945, arriving at the idea independently, having missed Vekslers publication (which was only available in a Soviet journal, although in English). The first proton synchrotron was designed by Sir Marcus Oliphant and built in 1952.

A pseudonym (; from Ancient Greek ψευδώνυμος (pseudṓnumos) falsely named) or alias () is a fictitious name that a person or group assumes for a particular purpose, which differs from their original or true name (orthonym). This also differs from a new name that entirely or legally replaces an individuals own. Many pseudonym holders use pseudonyms because they wish to remain anonymous, but anonymity is difficult to achieve and often fraught with legal issues.

Tog out is an informal term primarily used in British and Irish English, which means to dress oneself or someone in a particular set of clothes, typically a sports uniform or special attire. It can also refer to supplying or equipping someone with the necessary clothes or equipment.
