It is distinguished from Time Reversal Signal Processing by the fact that phase conjugation uses a holographic or parametric pumping whereas time reversal re... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34854733 | Phase conjugation |

Boundary friction occurs when a surface is at least partially wet, but not so lubricated that there is no direct friction between two surfaces. When two consistent, unlubricated surfaces slide against each other, there is a specific, predictable amount of friction that occurs. This amount increases as velocity does, bu... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34856488 | Boundary friction |
Boundary friction This "boundary friction" produces various effects, like an increase in lubrication through the generation of shearing forces, or an oscillation effect during motion, as the friction increases and decreases. For example, one can experience vibration when trying to brake on a partially damp road, or a c... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34856488 | Boundary friction |

Convective mixing In fluid dynamics, convective mixing is the vertical transport of a fluid and its properties. In many important ocean and atmospheric phenomena, convection is driven by density differences in the fluid, e.g. the sinking of cold, dense water in polar regions of the world's oceans; and the rising of war... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34927770 | Convective mixing |

Fusion ignition is the point at which a nuclear fusion reaction becomes self-sustaining. This occurs when the energy being given off by the fusion reactions heats the fuel mass more rapidly than various loss mechanisms cool it. At this point, the external energy needed to heat the fuel to fusion temperatures is no long... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34946963 | Fusion ignition |
Fusion ignition The key difference is that breakeven ignores losses to the surroundings, which do not contribute to heating the fuel, and thus are not able to make the reaction self-sustaining. Breakeven is an important goal in the fusion energy field, but ignition is required for a practical energy producing design. I... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34946963 | Fusion ignition |
Fusion ignition To offset this, much higher rates of fusion are required, and thus much higher temperatures; most man-made fusion reactors are designed to work at temperatures around 100 million degrees, or higher. To date, no man-made reactor has reached breakeven, let alone ignition. Ignition has however been achieve... | Natural_sciences | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=34946963 | Fusion ignition |
Fusion ignition In January 2012, National Ignition Facility Director Mike Dunne predicted in a Photonics West 2012 plenary talk that ignition would be achieved at NIF by October 2012. However, , NIF is operating at conditions about 1/10 to 1/3 of breakeven.

Processed version of millawell/wikipedia_field_of_science, prepared to be used in small context length RAG systems. Chunk length is tokenizer dependent, but each chunk should be around 256 tokens. Longer wikipedia pages have been split into smaller entries, with title added as a prefix.
There is also 512 tokens dataset available: Laz4rz/wikipedia_science_chunked_small_rag_512
If you wish to prepare some other chunk length:
- use millawell/wikipedia_field_of_science
- adapt chunker function:
def chunker_clean(results, example, length=512, approx_token=3, prefix=""):
if len(results) == 0:
regex_pattern = r'[\n\s]*\n[\n\s]*'
example = re.sub(regex_pattern, " ", example).strip().replace(prefix, "")
chunk_length = length * approx_token
if len(example) > chunk_length:
first = example[:chunk_length]
chunk = ".".join(first.split(".")[:-1])
if len(chunk) == 0:
chunk = first
rest = example[len(chunk)+1:]
results.append(prefix+chunk.strip())
if len(rest) > chunk_length:
chunker_clean(results, rest.strip(), length=length, approx_token=approx_token, prefix=prefix)
else:
results.append(prefix+rest.strip())
else:
results.append(prefix+example.strip())
return results
