Restorationism
Restorationism is a Christian tendency to restore the apostolic church rather than merely reform it, shaping movements like the Stone–Campbell churches, Latter-day Saints, and Adventists.
Restorative justice
Restorative justice: processes in which consenting victims, offenders, and affected communities resolve matters arising from crime with a trained facilitator. Forms include victim-offender mediation, conferencing, and circles; trial evidence shows modest recidivism reduction and higher victim satisfaction.
Restorative proctocolectomy
Restorative proctocolectomy removes the entire colon and rectum and joins an ileal pouch to the anus, preserving defecation; it treats ulcerative colitis and familial adenomatous polyposis.
ReStore (exosuit)
The ReStore, marketed as the ReStore Exo-Suit, is a soft robotic exosuit that assists the paretic ankle during walking in therapist-supervised stroke rehabilitation, FDA-cleared in 2019.
Restore Britain
Restore Britain is a right-wing British party founded by former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe, launched as a movement in 2025 and registered with the Electoral Commission on 20 March 2026; it campaigns for mass deportations, stands to the right of Reform UK, and is backed by Elon Musk.
RESTORE trial (NCT06300268)
RESTORE trial (NCT06300268): prospective multicentre pilot study of the AdvaPro sirolimus-eluting coronary stent in Indian and European populations; 120 patients, not yet recruiting, MACE at 9 months.
Restored Hanthawaddy Kingdom
The Restored Hanthawaddy Kingdom (1740–1757) was a Mon kingdom that ruled Lower Burma after a 1740 uprising at Pegu restored the old Hanthawaddy kingdom, until Alaungpaya's conquest ended it.
Restored Le dynasty
The Restored Le dynasty (Nhà Lê trung hưng) was the later phase of Vietnam's Later Le dynasty, 1533 to 1789, with real power held by the Trinh lords.
Restored Republic
The Restored Republic, or República Restaurada, is the period of Mexican history from 1867 to 1876, spanning the presidencies of Benito Juárez and Sebastián Lerdo de Tejada.
Restoring force model
A restoring force model is a mathematical relation between a structural member's restoring force and its deformation, used to represent hysteretic behavior in nonlinear seismic response analysis.
Restormel
Restormel (Cornish Ros tor moyl, 'bare hilltop spur'), Lostwithiel, Cornwall: a Norman motte-and-bailey castle with a rare intact shell keep, a nearby Roman fort and temporary camp, and the Restormel Royal iron mine.
ReStory
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs is a 2026 cozy repair-shop management sim by Mandragora and tinyBuild, set in mid-2000s Tokyo, launched August 6, 2026 on Steam, grossing $3 million in four days with an 84 Metacritic average.
Restoule v Canada
Restoule v Canada: Anishinaabe litigation under the 1850 Robinson-Huron and Robinson-Superior Treaties over unincreased $4 annuities; the Supreme Court of Canada (2024 SCC 27) found dishonourable Crown breach and ordered compensation negotiations.
Restraining order
Restraining order, also called protection or protective order: a court order restricting contact and behavior toward a protected person. Key facts: US adoption 1970s, violation rates 7.1–81.3%, permanent orders linked to reduced violence, Lautenberg gun ban.
Restraint of trade
Restraint of trade, also called non-compete law, is the common law doctrine under which covenants restricting a person's trade or business are prima facie void unless reasonable in the interests of the parties and the public, established by Nordenfelt (1894).
Restrepo (film)
Restrepo (2010) is a war documentary by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington following a 173rd Airborne platoon in Afghanistan's Korengal Valley; Sundance Grand Jury winner, Oscar-nominated, named for outpost honoring medic Juan Restrepo.
Restricted (DJ)
Australian DJ and producer Rhys Sfyrios (born 1999, Adelaide), aka Restricted; hard techno and hard dance artist, founder of Revive Records (2024), with #1 Beatport Hardcore/Neo Rave singles like Tunnel Vision.
Restricted Boltzmann machine
A restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) is a generative neural network of stochastic units in two layers, trained by contrastive divergence and used to build deep belief networks.
Restricted free agent
Restricted free agent (RFA): NFL player with three accrued seasons and an expired contract whose team can retain him via qualifying tenders with right of first refusal and draft-pick compensation.
Restricted isometry property
The restricted isometry property (RIP) is a condition on a matrix stating that it approximately preserves the length of every sparse vector, proposed by Candès and Tao for compressed sensing.
Restricted maximum likelihood
Restricted maximum likelihood (REML) is a statistical method that estimates variance components in linear mixed models while avoiding the downward bias of ordinary maximum likelihood.
Restricted three-body problem
The restricted three-body problem studies a mass so small it exerts no gravitational force, moving under the attraction of two bodies whose motion is unaffected by it.
Restricted use pesticide
Restricted use pesticide (RUP): a US EPA classification under FIFRA for the most acutely toxic or specially handled pesticides, purchasable and usable only by certified applicators or their direct supervisees, minimum age 18.
Restriction digest
A restriction digest is a molecular biology method that cuts DNA at specific sequences using restriction enzymes, producing defined fragments for plasmid verification, DNA mapping, and cloning.
Restriction endonuclease, type I, methylase subunit
HsdM is the methyltransferase (M) subunit of type I restriction-modification enzymes, encoded by hsdM. Two HsdM plus HsdS methylate adenines (m6A) via base flipping using AdoMet; motifs I and IV handle cofactor binding and catalysis.
Restriction enzyme
Restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) are bacterial DNA-cutting enzymes of types I-IV that recognize short specific sequences and defend against phages; HindII, EcoRI, and the 1978 Nobel work of Arber, Nathans, and Smith founded recombinant DNA technology.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism
A restriction fragment length polymorphism, or RFLP, is a DNA variation detected as differing fragment sizes after cutting DNA with restriction enzymes, used as a genetic marker.
Restriction mapping
Restriction mapping is a molecular biology method for finding the positions of restriction enzyme cut sites in DNA by cutting with sequence-specific enzymes and measuring fragment sizes.
Restriction modification system
A restriction modification system is a pair of bacterial enzymes, a restriction endonuclease and a methyltransferase, that destroys foreign DNA while sparing the cell's own.
Restriction of intramolecular motion
Restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM) is the widely accepted mechanism of aggregation-induced emission, holding that aggregation blocks the molecular motions that would otherwise dissipate energy as heat instead of light.
