History

Cities on its shores include Kibwesa, Wapembe, and Mpala, and the Mushara, Murembwe and Dama end in it. A source of great biodiversity, its namesake sardine is an important food source for locals. Despite its depth, the lower regions are mysteriously only a few degrees colder than the surface. In rainy years water from it flows into the Lukuga River and then into the Lualaba. John Speke and Richard Burton were the first two westerners to find it, and Henry Stanley found David Livingstone at Ujiji on its shores.

Social Science

Groups of this name are a subset of Dedekind groups, and they are generally non-abelian groups with every subgroup normal. This name also describes an NP-complete problem that asks if it is possible to construct a cycle visiting every vertex of a graph. For classical systems with forces independent of velocity, this quantity is equal to the total energy of the system. That quantity appears in several first-order differential equations in its namesake re-formulation of classical mechanics, and that quantity is related to the Lagrangian by a Legendre transform. For ten points, identify this multi-use term derived from the name of the inventor of quaternions.
