Siberian regionalism
Siberian regionalism (Russian: Сибирское областничество, romanized: Sibirskoye oblastnichestvo, lit. 'Siberian oblast movement') was a political movement that advocated for the formation of an autonomous Siberian state in North Asia. The idea originated in the mid-19th century and reached a high tide with the White movement military activities of Aleksandr Kolchak (1874–1920) and Viktor Pepelyayev (1885–1920) during the Russian Civil War of 1917–1922.

Those who support Siberian regionalism can be called both Siberian Regionalists, Oblastniks, or Oblastniki.

Viktor Pepelyayev
Viktor Nikolayevich Pepelyayev (Russian: Ви́ктор Никола́евич Пепеля́ев; 8 January 1885 – 7 February 1920) was a Russian politician, a supporter of Admiral Alexander Kolchak, a key perpetrator of the White Terror, and the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the State of Russia.

Mula (nakshatra)
Mūla ('root'; Devanagari मूल/मूळ, Kannada: ಮೂಲcode: kan promoted to code: kn , Telugu: మూల, Tamil: மூலம்) is the 19th of the 27 nakshatras or lunar mansions in Indian astronomy and astrology. The symbol of Mula is a bunch of roots tied together (reticulated roots) or an 'elephant goad' (ankusha). It corresponds to a group of stars in the tail of Scorpius: at least ε, μ, ζ, η, θ, ι, κ, and λ Scorpii. These stars are in the direction of the Galactic Center, the brightest part of the Milky Way; this may be the source of the name Mula, referring to the central Milky Way looking like a root or tuber.

Zeta Scorpii
The Bayer designation Zeta Scorpii (ζ Sco, ζ Scorpii) is shared by two stars in the constellation Scorpius:

ζ¹ Scorpii (HD 152236.)

ζ² Scorpii (HD 152334.)

They are separated by 7 arc minutes on the sky.  The stars are not physically related as they are at greatly different  distances from the Earth.

Both stars are members of asterism 尾 (Wěi), Tail, Tail mansion.
Gryposuchus
Gryposuchus (meaning "hooked crocodile") is an extinct genus of gavialid crocodilian. Fossils have been found from Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil and the Peruvian Amazon. The genus existed during the Miocene epoch (Colhuehuapian to Huayquerian). One recently described species, G. croizati, grew to an estimated length of 10 metres (33 ft). Gryposuchus is the type genus of the subfamily Gryposuchinae, although a 2018 study indicates that Gryposuchinae and Gryposuchus might be paraphyletic and rather an evolutionary grade towards  the gharial.

Colhuehuapian
The Colhuehuapian age is a period of geologic time (21.0–17.5 Ma) within the Early Miocene epoch of the Neogene, used more specifically within the SALMA classification in South America. It follows the Deseadan and precedes the Santacrucian age.
Edward Ayscough (born 1596)
Sir Edward Ayscough (1596 – by 1654) was an English Member of Parliament.

He was the only surviving son of William Ayscough of South Kelsey, Lincolnshire and educated at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge (1612). He succeeded his father in 1611 and his grandfather in 1612 and was knighted in 1613.

He was a Justice of the Peace for Lindsey, Lincolnshire from 1618 to at least 1640 and appointed High Sheriff of Lincolnshire for 1631–32. He was elected MP for Lincoln in 1621 and 1628 and as knight of the shire (MP) for Lincolnshire in November, 1640. As a devout Puritan he opposed the Forced Loan (a demand by Charles I that people "lend" him money) in 1627 and was briefly dismissed from the bench and imprisoned. He was an active supporter of the Parliament during the Civil War.

He married Frances, the daughter and heiress of Sir Nicholas Clifford of Bobbing Court, Kent, with whom he had 7 sons and 6 daughters. He was succeeded by his son Edward Ayscough, also an MP.

High Sheriff of Lincolnshire
This is a list of High Sheriffs of Lincolnshire.

The High Sheriff is the oldest secular office under the Crown.  Formerly the High Sheriff was the principal law enforcement officer in the county but over the centuries most of the responsibilities associated with the post have been transferred elsewhere or are now defunct, so that its functions are now largely ceremonial.  The High Sheriff changes every March.

Between 1974 and 1996 the shrievalty in Lincolnshire was interrupted when the County of Humberside took over the complete northern part of the county. In 1996 the northern bailiwicks reverted to Lincolnshire once more, after eight North Lincolnshire based High Sheriffs of Humberside had administered the area.

Infinite-dimensional sphere
In algebraic topology, the infinite-dimensional sphere is the inductive limit of all spheres. Although no sphere is contractible, the infinite-dimensional sphere is contractible and hence appears as the total space of multiple universal principal bundles.

Algebraic topology
Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence.

Although algebraic topology primarily uses algebra to study topological problems, using topology to solve algebraic problems is sometimes also possible. Algebraic topology, for example, allows for a convenient proof that any subgroup of a free group is again a free group.

The winner of the tournament, if eligible to participate, receives an automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship.
Angioscotoma
An angioscotoma is a localized area of lower or absent visual sensitivity that follows the course of a retinal blood vessel. Because light‑sensitive photoreceptors lying beneath the retinal blood vessels receive less illumination, they send reduced or absent signals to the brain, creating blind regions that normally go unnoticed, since retinal adaptation suppresses awareness of this, similar to how the central blind spot is invisible. Angioscotomas are best revealed with specialized forms of perimetry and psychophysical testing. The magnitude of the defect depends on vessel calibre, eccentricity, and stimulus parameters. It has been shown in squirrel monkeys that angioscotoma casts a "shadow" on the retinotopic map of the visual field in the visual cortex.

Ocular dominance column
Ocular dominance columns are stripes of neurons in the visual cortex of certain mammals (including humans) that respond preferentially to input from one eye or the other. The columns span multiple cortical layers, and are laid out in a striped pattern across the surface of the striate cortex (V1). The stripes lie perpendicular to the orientation columns.

Ocular dominance columns were important in early studies of cortical plasticity, as it was found that monocular deprivation causes the columns to degrade, with the non-deprived eye assuming control of more of the cortical cells.

It is believed that ocular dominance columns must be important in binocular vision. Surprisingly, however, many squirrel monkeys either lack or partially lack ocular dominance columns, which would not be expected if they are useful. This has led some to question whether they serve a purpose, or are just a byproduct of development.
