| Christianity and sexual relationships between members of the same sex Since the first decades of Christianity, most Christians have regarded sexual relations between members of the same sex as immoral. This has led to the position upheld today by denominations such as the Roman CatholicCatechism of the Catholic Church, § 2357 and Criteria for the Discernment of Vocation for Persons with Homosexual Tendencies and Orthodox Churches, as well as by most Evangelical Protestant churches such as the Southern Baptist Convention.

| Data compression In computer science and information theory, data compression or source coding is the process of encoding information using fewer bits (or other information-bearing units) than an unencoded representation would use through use of specific encoding schemes. For example, the ZIP file format, which provides compression, also acts as an archiver, storing many source files in a single destination output file. Data_compression

| Delaunay triangulation In mathematics, and computational geometry, a Delaunay triangulation for a set P of points in the plane is a triangulation DT(P) such that no point in P is inside the circumcircle of any triangle in DT(P). Delaunay triangulations maximize the minimum angle of all the angles of the triangles in the triangulation; they tend to avoid skinny triangles. Delaunay_triangulation
