ENTPD1

ENTPD1, also called CD39 or NTPDase1, is a human cell-surface ectonucleotidase on chromosome 10 that hydrolyzes extracellular ATP and ADP to AMP, limiting thrombosis and inflammation while generating immunosuppressive adenosine with CD73 in tumors.

Entrada of Teotihuacan into the Maya lowlands

The Entrada of Teotihuacan into the Maya lowlands was the arrival of Teotihuacan forces under Sihyaj K'ahk' at the Maya city of Tikal on 16 January 378 CE, when Tikal's ruler Chak Tok Ich'aak I died.

Entrained-flow gasifier

An entrained-flow gasifier is a gasification reactor in which finely pulverized fuel and oxygen react co-currently at high temperature, giving tar-free syngas, over 95% carbon conversion, and slag removal.

Entrainment (hydrodynamics)

Entrainment in hydrodynamics is the incorporation of surrounding ambient fluid across the boundary of a turbulent jet, plume, or density current, quantified by an entrainment coefficient α.

Entrance length

Entrance length, also called hydrodynamic entry length or development length, is the distance a fluid travels after entering a pipe before its velocity profile stops changing and becomes fully developed.

Entrance of the Gladiators

Entrance of the Gladiators (Vjezd gladiátorů, Thunder and Blazes), Op. 68, is an 1897 military march by Czech bandmaster Julius Fučík, renamed for Roman gladiators and famous worldwide as circus clown music via Laurendeau's 1901 arrangement.

Entrance pupil

The entrance pupil, also called the no-parallax point, is the image of a lens's aperture stop seen from object space, and it fixes the lens's f-number.

Entrapment

Entrapment, also known as legal entrapment, is an affirmative defense in criminal law in which the defendant claims government agents induced them to commit a crime.

Entrapment (film)

Entrapment (1999) is a Jon Amiel caper thriller starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a thief and an undercover insurance investigator; it grossed $212 million worldwide on a $66 million budget.

Entre Ríos

Entre Ríos is a province of northeastern Argentina whose borders are the Uruguay and Paraná rivers and whose Paraná floodplain forms one of the world's largest freshwater wetland systems.

Entre Tinieblas

Entre Tinieblas (Dark Habits) is Pedro Almodóvar's 1983 Spanish comedy-drama, his third feature, about bolero singer Yolanda Bell hiding in a convent of drug-using nuns; premiered at Venice, released 3 October 1983.

Entrectinib

Entrectinib (Rozlytrek) is an oral TRKA/B/C, ROS1, and ALK inhibitor for NTRK fusion-positive solid tumors and ROS1-positive NSCLC, approved in Japan (2019), the US (2019), and the EU (2020), with CNS-penetrant activity.

Entrée

Entrée: a French culinary term meaning starter in France and the main course in American English; re-borrowed in the 18th century for the dish served before the roast, and reshaped in the US by late-19th-century French chefs.

Entrelac

Entrelac (from French entrelacer, to interlace) is a modular knitting technique building basketweave-like fabric from short-row triangles and rectangles joined by picked-up stitches, worked in tiers, flat or in the round, often in self-striping yarn.

Entremet

Entremet (plural entremets): French term for a sweet course served after cheese, and in modern patisserie a layered mousse-based composed cake, frozen and mirror-glazed; historically a medieval between-courses spectacle, now central to 2026 texture and mini-portion trends.

Entrenched clause

Entrenched clause, also called eternity clause or unamendable provision: a constitutional provision shielded from amendment, from supermajority constraints to outright prohibitions, exemplified by Germany's Basic Law Article 79(3) and India's basic structure doctrine.

Entrepôt

An entrepôt is a storehouse or port where imported goods are stored for distribution, transshipment, or repackaging, often without import duty because they are held for re-export, as in Singapore.

Entrepreneurs First

Entrepreneurs First is a London-based talent investor and company builder founded in 2011 by Alice Bentinck and Matt Clifford that recruits individuals, often technically skilled, and helps them find cofounders and build startups.

Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneurship is the creation or expansion of economic activity by exploiting new products, processes, or markets, a definition adopted by the OECD and Eurostat in 2017.

Entropia Universe

Entropia Universe, formerly Project Entropia, is a Swedish sci-fi MMORPG by MindArk launched 30 January 2003 with a real-cash economy: PED pegged at 10 per USD, two-way deposits and withdrawals, player professions, and virtual property sales.

Entropic bonding

Entropic bonding is the bond-like attraction between hard particles such as nanoparticles or colloids that arises purely from entropy, since certain arrangements free space for neighbors.

Entropic force

An entropic force is an effective macroscopic force arising from statistical rearrangements that drive a system toward greater entropy, seen in polymer elasticity, depletion forces, and osmotic pressure.

Entropic gravity

Entropic gravity, or gravity as an entropic force, is Erik Verlinde's 2010 hypothesis that gravity emerges thermodynamically from changes in information, extended in 2016 to explain dark matter.

Entropic uncertainty relations

An entropic uncertainty relation is a lower bound on the Shannon entropies of outcomes from incompatible quantum measurements, constraining the full spread rather than variances.

Entropy

Entropy, or Entropie, is a thermodynamic quantity measuring the microscopic arrangements consistent with a system's macroscopic condition; Clausius introduced it, and Boltzmann, Gibbs, and Shannon generalized it.

Entropy (information theory)

Entropy, also called Shannon entropy, measures the average uncertainty of a random variable; Claude Shannon introduced it in 1948 as a lower bound on lossless compression.

Entropy (statistical thermodynamics)

Entropy in statistical thermodynamics, also called Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, measures how many microstates are consistent with a macrostate, expressed as S = k ln W and grounding the second law probabilistically.

Entropy and life

Entropy and life is the study of how living organisms sustain local order by consuming free energy and exporting entropy, resolving their apparent conflict with the second law of thermodynamics.
