Traité de stéréotomie
Traité de stéréotomie is a three-volume 1737–1739 treatise on cutting stone and timber for vaults by the French military engineer Amédée-François Frézier, probably the most important work on projection before Monge.

Traitor is a 2008 American political thriller directed and co-written by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, starring Don Cheadle as Samir Horn and Guy Pearce as FBI agent Roy Clayton.
Traitorous eight
The Traitorous Eight, also known as the Traitorous 8, were eight employees led by Robert Noyce who resigned from Shockley Semiconductor in 1957 to found Fairchild Semiconductor, seeding Silicon Valley's chip industry.
Trajan
Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Traianus), Roman emperor 98-117 CE, born in Spain, adopted by Nerva in 97; won the Dacian Wars, built Trajan's Column, captured Ctesiphon, and reached the Persian Gulf.
Trajan's annexation of the Nabataean kingdom
Trajan's annexation of the Nabataean kingdom (ضم الأنباط) was the absorption of the Nabataean kingdom into the Roman Empire in 106 CE, reorganized as the province of Arabia.
Trajan's Bridge
Trajan's Bridge was the first permanent bridge over the Lower Danube, built 103–105 AD by Trajan to supply his legions in Dacia, probably engineered by Apollodorus of Damascus.
Trajan's Column
Trajan's Column, a 38.4 m Luna marble victory monument in Rome's Forum of Trajan dedicated May 113 CE, carries a 190 m spiral frieze of 155 scenes on the Dacian Wars and housed Trajan's ashes.
Trajan's Kiosk
Trajan's Kiosk (Kiosk of Trajan, Pharaoh's Bed) is an unfinished Roman-period hypaethral temple of fourteen columns at Philae, Egypt, now relocated to Agilkia Island, likely a bark shrine for Isis processions.
Trajan's Parthian campaign
Trajan's Parthian campaign (113–117 CE), Trajan's Parthian War, was Rome's war against Parthia over Armenia and Mesopotamia: Armenia annexed in 114, Ctesiphon taken and the Persian Gulf reached in 116, then revolts, Trajan's death in 117, and Hadrian's withdrawal.
Trajanic harbor
Trajanic harbor: the hexagonal inner basin (c. 32–39 ha) Trajan added to Portus near Ostia, 100–112 AD, sheltering ships the open Claudian basin could not, Rome's main grain port.
Trajectory
A trajectory is the path an object takes as it moves through space, described mathematically as position over time; an ideal projectile follows a parabola.
Trajectory inference
Trajectory inference is a family of computational methods that reconstructs dynamic cell-state transitions, such as differentiation or disease progression, from static single-cell RNA sequencing snapshots by ordering cells along pseudotime.
Trajectory learning with Gaussian Mixture Models
Trajectory learning with Gaussian Mixture Models is a probabilistic robot learning method in which human-demonstrated motion trajectories are encoded as Gaussian mixtures and reproduced smoothly via Gaussian Mixture Regression.
Trajectory linearization control
Trajectory linearization control is a nonlinear control method that stabilizes a system along a commanded trajectory, developed by J. Jim Zhu and applied to NASA's X-33.
Trajectory optimization
Trajectory optimization is a numerical method that computes the best state and control sequence for a dynamical system, minimizing cost while satisfying dynamics and constraints.
Trajectory optimization for legged locomotion
Trajectory optimization for legged locomotion computes state, input, and contact-force trajectories for walking or running robots, and is the main model-based method for generating dynamic gaits and jumps.
Trajectory prediction for HRI
Trajectory prediction for HRI is the task of forecasting people's future positions from their observed motion history so robots can plan safe, socially appropriate actions around them.
Trajectory tracking via transverse feedback linearization
Transverse feedback linearization is a nonlinear control method that turns the dynamics moving away from a chosen set, such as a path, into a linear system.
Trajinera
A trajinera is a traditional flat-bottomed boat propelled by a pole, originally used to carry goods and now best known for carrying tourists on the canals of Xochimilco.
Trakai Voivodeship
Trakai Voivodeship (Trakų vaivadija) was an administrative unit of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania from 1413 to 1795, created from the Trakai Duchy and second only to Vilnius Voivodeship in area and rank.
Trakehner
Trakehner: German warmblood horse breed from the Trakehnen stud in East Prussia, founded 1732. Closed studbook with Thoroughbred and Arabian blood; rebuilt after 1945 by the Trakehner Verband; excels in dressage and eventing.
Traktat poetycki
Traktat poetycki (A Treatise on Poetry) is a 1957 long poem by the Polish poet Czesław Miłosz, reflecting on the history of Polish poetry in the twentieth century.
Traktor
Traktor is a digital DJ software platform developed by Native Instruments and first launched in 2000, alongside Serato and Rekordbox among the major professional packages.
Tralkoxydim
Tralkoxydim (PP 604) is a cyclohexanedione oxime ACCase-inhibiting herbicide for grass weeds in cereals; registered UK 1986 and USA 1999, withdrawn EU 2019, with recorded resistance in Avena and Setaria species.
Tralokinumab
Tralokinumab (Adtralza, ADBRY) is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody neutralizing IL-13, approved 2021 for moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in adults and patients 12 years and older, dosed 300 mg every two weeks.
Tralomethrin
Tralomethrin (CAS 66841-25-6) is a Type II pyrethroid ester insecticide, first registered in the U.S. in 1985 and later cancelled; not EU-approved, it converts to deltamethrin and has an EPA oral RfD of 0.0075 mg/kg-day.
Tram
A tram, also called a streetcar or trolley, is an electric rail vehicle that runs on tracks through streets, drawing power from an overhead wire.
TRAM flap
The TRAM flap (transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap) is a breast reconstruction technique that transfers lower-abdominal skin, fat, and muscle to the chest after mastectomy, first described in 1982.
Tram-train
A tram-train is a rail vehicle designed to run on both urban tramway tracks and mainline railways, combining a tram's agility with a train's speed, a concept originating in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Tramadol
Tramadol (Ultram) is an atypical synthetic opioid analgesic combining weak mu-opioid agonism via its CYP2D6-generated M1 metabolite with serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibition; risks include seizures and serotonin syndrome.
