Bootstrap current. In a toroidal fusion power device, a plasma is confined within a donut-shaped cylinder. If the gas pressure of the plasma varies across the radius of the cylinder, a self-generated current will spontaneously arise within the plasma, due to collisions between trapped particles and passing particles. This current is called the ...
Conformal bootstrap. The conformal bootstrap is a non-perturbative mathematical method to constrain and solve conformal field theories, i.e. models of particle physics or statistical physics that exhibit similar properties at different levels of resolution. [1]
Bootstrap percolation. In statistical mechanics, bootstrap percolation is a percolation process in which a random initial configuration of active cells is selected from a lattice or other space, and then cells with few active neighbors are successively removed from the active set until the system stabilizes. The order in which this removal ...
Chew worked as a professor of physics at the UC Berkeley since 1957 and was an emeritus since 1991. Chew held a PhD in theoretical particle physics (1944–1946) from the University of Chicago. Between 1950 and 1956, he was a physics faculty member at the University of Illinois. In addition, Chew was a member of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Bootstrapping (linguistics), a term used in language acquisition. Bootstrapping (statistics), a method for assigning measures of accuracy to sample estimates. Bootstrap aggregating, a method used to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms. Bootstraps, the stage name of American singer and songwriter Jordan Beckett.
Booting. A flow diagram of a computer booting. In computing, booting is the process of starting a computer as initiated via hardware such as a button on the computer or by a software command. After it is switched on, a computer's central processing unit (CPU) has no software in its main memory, so some process must load software into memory ...
Bootstrap Network. The Bootstrap Network is an organization of entrepreneurs founded in Austin, Texas in 2003 by Bijoy Goswami. [1] The members, who are all founders of companies, give each other advice on building companies, the name referring to starting a company without outside financing, or ' bootstrapping '. [1] [2]
