MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) is a 36-band NASA imaging spectroradiometer flying on the Terra and Aqua satellites since 1999 and 2002, measuring vegetation, clouds, fires, snow, and ocean color worldwide.
Modjo
Modjo is a French house duo formed in Paris in 1999 by Romain Tranchart and Yann Destal, best known for the 2000 hit "Lady (Hear Me Tonight)".
Modoc villages of the Lost River and Tule Lake area
The Modoc villages of the Lost River and Tule Lake area were permanent and seasonal settlements of the Modoc people, near Tule, Lower Klamath, and Clear Lakes and along Lost River.
Modoc War
The Modoc War was an 1872 to 1873 armed conflict between the United States Army and Modoc people resisting removal from lava beds near Tule Lake, on the California-Oregon border.
MODOK
MODOK (M.O.D.O.K.), formerly M.O.D.O.C., Mental Organism Designed Only for Computing then Killing, is a Marvel Comics supervillain created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, debuting in Tales of Suspense #93-94 (1967) as A.I.M.'s mutated George Tarleton, later adapted in the 2021 Hulu series and 2023's Quantumania.
Modon Holding PSC
Modon Holding PSC is an Abu Dhabi real estate and hospitality holding company, listed on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange and majority owned by the Abu Dhabi Government.
Modotuximab
Modotuximab (zatuximab, 1024 DS), an investigational IgG1 monoclonal antibody against EGFR that induces receptor internalization and degradation; used clinically as the Sym004 futuximab/modotuximab mixture in phase 3 colorectal cancer trials, not approved.
ModRetro
ModRetro is an American retro-gaming hardware company founded by Palmer Luckey and Torin Herndon, maker of the Chromatic, an FPGA handheld console playing Game Boy cartridges.
MODS
MODS (Metadata Object Description Schema) is an XML schema for bibliographic data developed by the Library of Congress in 2002, richer than Dublin Core and simpler than MARC 21.
Mods and rockers
Mods and rockers were rival 1960s British youth subcultures, scooter-riding fashion-conscious Mods versus leather-clad motorcycling Rockers, whose 1964 seaside clashes at Clacton, Brighton, and Margate inspired Stanley Cohen's moral panic theory.
ModSecurity
ModSecurity is an open-source, cross-platform web application firewall engine for Apache, IIS, and Nginx that inspects HTTP traffic against rules written in its SecRule language.
Modu Chanyu
Modu Chanyu (冒顿单于) was a ruler of the Xiongnu, the steppe empire north of Han China, remembered for besieging Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang at Pingcheng for seven days.
Modu Chanyu's rise and the Xiongnu unification
Modu Chanyu's rise and the Xiongnu unification (冒顿单于崛起) was Modu's seizure of the Xiongnu throne in 209 BC, after killing his father Touman, and his conquests.
Modu's assassination of his father Touman
Modu's assassination of his father Touman (冒顿鸣镝弑父) was the killing of the Xiongnu Chanyu Touman by his son Modu during a hunt, around 209 BC.
Modu's insolent letter to Empress Lü
Modu's insolent letter to Empress Lü (冒顿嫚书) was a marriage proposal sent by the Xiongnu chanyu Modu to Han regent Empress Lü, who replied humbly and preserved peace.
Modula (company)
Modula S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of automated storage and retrieval systems, founded in 1987 by engineer Franco Stefani and best known for its Modula Lift vertical lift module.
Modula-2
Modula-2 is a statically typed procedural programming language designed by Niklaus Wirth at ETH Zurich in 1978 as a successor to Pascal, intended for systems programming.
Modula-3
Modula-3 is a systems programming language designed at DEC SRC and Olivetti Research California, first published in 1988, supporting interfaces, objects, generics, threads, and garbage collection while isolating unsafe code.
Modular arithmetic
Modular arithmetic, also called clock arithmetic, treats integers as congruent when they leave the same remainder; Gauss formalized it in 1801, and it underlies RSA cryptography.
Modular building
A modular building, also called Permanent Modular Construction, is a permanent or temporary structure assembled on site from factory-built modules, often cutting schedules by about 42%.
Modular connector
A modular connector is a plastic plug-and-jack interconnect, best known as the RJ connectors used on telephone and Ethernet cables, developed by the Bell System in the 1960s.
Modular construction
Modular construction is a building method in which factory-made three-dimensional modules are assembled on-site into finished structures, faster and with less waste than site building.
Modular curve
A modular curve is an algebraic curve whose points parameterize elliptic curves with extra level structure, such as a point of order N, central to the arithmetic of elliptic curves.
Modular data center
A modular data center is a data center built from pre-engineered, factory-integrated assemblies of racks, power, cooling, and fire protection, cutting delivery times from 24–36 months to 12–16.
Modular decomposition
Modular decomposition, also known as substitution decomposition, is a graph algorithm that recursively partitions a graph into modules, vertex sets sharing the same outside neighbors, and returns a tree.
Modular design
Modular design is an engineering approach that partitions a product into independent modules produced separately and joined by specified interfaces, enabling variety, easier repair, and faster construction.
Modular exponentiation
Modular exponentiation, also called Modpow, computes the remainder when a base raised to an exponent is divided by a modulus, and is the core operation of RSA and Diffie-Hellman.
Modular form
A modular form is a holomorphic function on the complex upper half-plane that transforms in a prescribed way under a subgroup of the modular group, holomorphic at the cusps.
Modular function
A modular function is a meromorphic function on the upper half-plane, invariant under a subgroup of the modular group and meromorphic at the cusps; the j-invariant is the principal example.
Modular group
The modular group is the group PSL(2, ℤ) of 2 × 2 integer matrices with determinant 1, acting on the upper half-plane and central to number theory.
