Idaho National Laboratory

Idaho National Laboratory, a U.S. Department of Energy laboratory established in 1949 in southeast Idaho, is the nation's lead laboratory for nuclear energy research, operating the Advanced Test Reactor.

Idarubicin

Idarubicin is a semisynthetic anthracycline antineoplastic drug, an analog of daunorubicin lacking a methoxy group, used with cytarabine to treat acute myeloid leukemia in adults; the FDA approved it in 1990.

Idazoxan

Idazoxan (RX 781094) is a selective alpha-2 adrenoceptor antagonist and prototypical ligand for I2 imidazoline binding sites, developed in the 1970s and studied in humans but never approved for clinical use.

Ideal (ring theory)

An ideal in ring theory is a subset of a ring closed under addition and multiplication by any ring element, introduced by Richard Dedekind in 1871.

Ideal class group

The ideal class group of a Dedekind domain measures the failure of unique factorization; it is trivial exactly when the domain is a principal ideal domain.

Ideal gas

An ideal gas is a hypothetical gas exactly described by the gas laws, especially pV = nRT, which all real gases approach at high temperature and low pressure.

Ideal gas law

The ideal gas law, also called the universal gas equation, is the equation of state pV = nRT relating a gas's pressure, volume, amount, and temperature.

Ideal magnetohydrodynamics

Ideal magnetohydrodynamics, or ideal MHD, is the zero-resistivity limit of magnetohydrodynamics, treating plasma as a perfect conductor with frozen-in magnetic flux; it is the standard model for fusion, solar, and space plasmas.

Ideal solution

An ideal solution is a thermodynamic model solution whose components obey Raoult's law at all compositions, with zero enthalpy and volume of mixing, benzene and toluene the standard example.

Idealization (philosophy of science)

Idealization, in the philosophy of science, is the deliberate introduction of distortions or omissions into scientific models, exemplified by frictionless planes and perfectly rigid bodies.

Idele class group

The idele class group of a global field K is the quotient of the idele group by the diagonal K×, recovering ideal class groups and receiving the reciprocity map.

Idempotence

Idempotence is the property of an element e of a ring satisfying e² = e, equivalently e(1 − e) = 0; multiplication by e acts like a projection.

Identity (mathematics)

In mathematics, an identity is an element that leaves every other element unchanged when combined with it, or an equation, such as a + 0 = a, true for every value of its variables.

Identity matrix

The identity matrix, also called the unit matrix, is the square matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere that leaves any matrix unchanged under multiplication.

Ido Kaminer

Ido Kaminer is an Israeli physicist and professor at the Technion who heads the AdQuanta lab and is known as a creator of free-electron quantum optics, plus the Ramanujan Machine for generating conjectures about fundamental constants.

Idoxuridine

Idoxuridine is an iodinated nucleoside analog of thymidine that inhibits viral DNA synthesis; described in 1959, it became the first FDA-approved antiviral drug in 1963, used topically for herpetic keratitis.

Iduronic acid

Iduronic acid (IdoA) is a uronic acid monosaccharide and the C-5 epimer of D-glucuronic acid, the major uronic acid of dermatan sulfate and heparin whose ring flexibility aids protein binding.

IEC 61508

IEC 61508 is an international standard for the functional safety of electrical, electronic, and programmable electronic safety-related systems, first published in 1998 and defining four safety integrity levels.

IEEE 754

IEEE 754, the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic, is a technical standard first published in 1985 that defines floating-point formats, rounding rules, and exception handling in computing.
