Common Expressions: Bohr

Expressions	Definition
3948 Bohr	3948 Bohr is a small main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Poul Jensen in 1985. It is named after the Danish physicist Niels Bohr (1885-1962). (references)
Bohr (crater)	Bohr is a lunar crater that is located near the western lunar limb, in the area that is affected by librations. It is attached to the southwestern rim of the larger Vasco da Gama crater formation, and to the southeast of Einstein crater, the latter being named after a fellow physicist. (references)
Bohr bug	Bohr bug is a term used in software programming to describe a computer bug that, in contrast with heisenbugs, does not disappear or alter its characteristics when it is researched. (references)
Bohr compactification	In mathematics, the Bohr compactification of a topological group G is a compact Hausdorff topological group H that may be canonically associated to G. Its importance lies in the reduction of the theory of uniformly almost periodic functions on G to the theory of continuous functions on H. The concept is named after Harald Bohr who pioneered the study of almost periodic functions, on the real line. (references)
Bohr effect	The Bohr effect is an adaption in animals to reduce the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen as a response to an increase in blood carbon dioxide levels and a decrease in pH. (references)
Bohr theory	(physics) a theory of atomic structure that combined Rutherford's model with the quantum theory; electrons orbiting a nucleus can only be in certain stationary energy states and light is emitted when electrons jump from one energy state to another.

Christian Bohr	Christian Bohr (1855-1911) is the father of the famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr, as well as the famous mathematician Harald Bohr. (references)
Harald Bohr	Harald Bohr (22 April 1887 - 22 January 1951) was a Danish mathematician, and younger brother of the physicist Niels Bohr. Many friends remarked that the two men were unusually close, even for brothers. Early in the lives of the brothers, Harald was thought to be more likely to be successful. (references)
