Adi Shankar
Adi Shankar: Indian-born American producer and showrunner, creator of the Bootleg Universe fan films and Netflix's Castlevania, Captain Laserhawk, and Devil May Cry adaptations.
Adi Shankara
Adi Shankara (Ādi Śaṅkara, Shankaracharya), eighth-century Indian philosopher of Advaita Vedanta, born in Kalady, Kerala; wrote the oldest surviving Brahma Sutra commentary, the Upadesasahasri, and is traditionally credited with four mathas; dates disputed, 788–820 versus roughly 700–750 CE.
Adi Sharabani
Adi Sharabani is an Israeli cybersecurity investor and executive, a General Partner at Cyberstarts, best known as co-founder and CEO of Skycure, acquired by Symantec in 2017.
Adi Zitrin
Adi Zitrin is an astronomer at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel known for lens models of galaxy clusters that enabled records of the most distant galaxies.
Adiabatic accessibility
Adiabatic accessibility is a relation between thermodynamic equilibrium states, written X ≺ Y, holding when Y can be reached from X by an adiabatic process.
Adiabatic approximation
The adiabatic approximation in quantum mechanics assumes that a system whose Hamiltonian changes slowly enough remains in the same instantaneous energy eigenstate, acquiring only a phase rather than transitioning between states.
Adiabatic calorimeter
An adiabatic calorimeter is a laboratory instrument in which heat exchange with the surroundings is prevented, so heat absorbed or generated appears entirely as a measurable temperature change.
Adiabatic calorimetry
Adiabatic calorimetry is calorimetry in which heat exchange between the sample vessel and its surroundings is suppressed, used for heat capacities and thermal runaway studies.
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration
Adiabatic demagnetization refrigeration (ADR) is a cooling technique reaching temperatures below one kelvin by magnetizing a paramagnetic salt and slowly removing the field, first demonstrated in 1933.
Adiabatic flame temperature
The adiabatic flame temperature is the theoretical maximum temperature combustion products reach when no heat is lost and no work is done, occurring for a stoichiometric mixture.
Adiabatic passage for isolated attosecond pulses
Adiabatic passage, implemented as the PASSAGE gating scheme, is a technique for generating isolated attosecond pulses by driving high-harmonic generation with a few-cycle laser pulse.
Adiabatic process
An adiabatic process, also called an adiabatic transformation, is a thermodynamic process with no heat transfer between a system and its surroundings, so work alone changes the temperature.
Adiabatic quantum computation
Adiabatic quantum computation is a model of quantum computing that solves problems by slowly evolving a quantum system's Hamiltonian, keeping it in its lowest-energy state throughout.
Adiabatic quantum search algorithm
The adiabatic quantum search algorithm finds a marked item in an unsorted database of N items by slowly evolving a quantum system, matching Grover's quadratic speedup through continuous-time Hamiltonian evolution.
Adiabatic theorem
The adiabatic theorem, proposed by Born and Fock in 1928, states that a quantum system whose Hamiltonian changes slowly enough remains in its instantaneous eigenstate.
Adiabatic Toroidal Compressor
The Adiabatic Toroidal Compressor (ATC) was a 1972 tokamak at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory that demonstrated adiabatic compressional heating and hosted the first neutral-beam heating experiments in a tokamak.
Adiabene (διαβηνή)
Adiabene (διαβηνή), also called the Kingdom of Adiabene, was an ancient vassal kingdom in northern Mesopotamia centered on Arbela, bounded by the Tigris and the two Zab rivers.
Adiabene royal house
The Adiabene royal house (بيت حدياب) was the ruling dynasty of Adiabene, a vassal kingdom in northern Mesopotamia under the Parthian empire, with its capital at Arbela.
Adiabene's support for the Jewish revolt of AD 66
Adiabene's support for the Jewish revolt of AD 66 was the Adiabenean royal family's participation on the Jewish side against Rome in the war of 66–70.
ADIANA trial
ADIANA trial (NCT06517264; EU CT 2025-523121-17-00): Spanish multicenter randomized Phase IV trial comparing outpatient treatment of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis without antibiotics versus with oral antibiotics; 282 patients, 5 sites, sponsored by the Fundación para la Formación e Investigación Sanitaria de la Región de Murcia.
Adiantum
Adiantum, the maidenhair ferns, is a cosmopolitan fern genus in Pteridaceae with 242 accepted species, shiny black stalks, fan-shaped frond segments, and spores under reflexed false indusia.
Adiantum capillus-veneris
Adiantum capillus-veneris, the southern maidenhair or Venus-hair fern, is a cosmopolitan Pteridaceae fern with black stipes and fan-shaped leaflets, grown ornamentally and used in traditional medicine.
Adiaphora
Adiaphora (ἀδιάφορα), Stoic "indifferent things": items neither good nor bad, since only virtue benefits. Divided into preferred (proēgmena) and dispreferred (apoproēgmena); later adopted in Christian adiaphoristic controversies.
Adib Ishaq
Adib Ishaq (أديب إسحاق) was an Arab journalist and intellectual born in Damascus in 1856 who founded Egypt's first opposition press, the newspaper Misr, in 1877.
Adib Kanafani
Adib Kanafani is a Professor of the Graduate School in civil engineering at UC Berkeley, a transportation economist elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2002.
