Biology
- Regulated intramembrane proteolysis, a biochemical process which regulates a semipermeable membrane A semipermeable membrane, also termed a selectively-permeable membrane, a partially-permeable membrane or a differentially-permeable membrane, is a membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion and occasionally specialized "facilitated diffusion." The rate of passage depends on the pressure,
- Repeat induced point-mutation In molecular biology, repeat induced point-mutation or RIP is a process by which DNA in Neurospora crassa accumulates G:C to A:T mutations. It is associated with DNA methylation. Sequences that are longer than a few hundred base pairs and that are repeated in the haploid genome are subjected to RIP, a process by which DNA in Neurospora crassa accumulates mutations
- Ribosome inhibiting protein, a type of protein that controls ribosomes
- Ramus interventricularis paraconalis, branch of the right coronary artery
Mathematics
Computers
- Raster image processor A raster image processor is a component used in a printing system which produces a raster image also known as a bitmap. The bitmap is then sent to a printing device for output. The input may be a page description in a high-level page description language such as PostScript, Portable Document Format, XPS or another bitmap of higher or lower, a component used in a printing system which produces a bitmap
- Recovery Is Possible Recovery Is Possible is a small, specialized Linux distribution that includes system maintenance and recovery applications on a live CD or USB flash drive. The RIP disc comes in two flavors: one with the X Window System and one without. The X-capable version does not require X to be started at boot-up; it can be started at any time after booting, a Linux distribution
- Remote imaging protocol The Remote Imaging Protocol Scripting Language, more commonly known as the Remote Imaging Protocol or RIPscrip, is a scripting language created by Jeff Reeder, Jim Bergman, and Mark Hayton to enhance bulletin board systems and other applications, a method of using graphics instead of text on a Bulletin Board System
- Routing Information Protocol The Routing Information Protocol is a dynamic routing protocol used in local and wide area networks. As such it is classified as an interior gateway protocol (IGP). It uses the distance-vector routing algorithm. It was first defined in RFC 1058 (1988). The protocol has since been extended several times, resulting in RIP Version 2 (RFC 2453). Both, a protocol used in computer networks
- Row instruction pointer, a special purpose processor register In computer architecture, a processor register is a small amount of storage available on the CPU whose contents can be accessed more quickly than storage available elsewhere. Typically, this specialized storage is not considered part of the normal memory range for the machine. Most, but not all, modern computers adopt the so-called load-store in network processors
- Register instruction pointer, in the x86-64 x86-64 is an extension of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger virtual and physical address spaces than are possible on x86, thereby allowing programmers to conveniently work with much larger data sets. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general purpose registers and numerous other enhancements. The original specification was created by AMD, instruction sets
- Real IP address An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network, that uses the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes. An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A : a term used in load balancing
Military
- R.I.P. cartridge The R.I.P cartridge 12-gauge ammunition comprises cartridges filled with a mixture of micronized CS gas, an inert powder to add weight, and a further non-toxic powder which, on compression and friction, produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas on exiting the barrel of the shotgun (Round, Irritant, Personnel), or tear-gas cartridge, a specialist shotgun ammunition
- Ranger Indoctrination Program, a U.S. Army program requirement for assignment to a Ranger battalion
Music

- Reduced Ignition Propensity cigarettes, more commonly called Fire safe cigarettes Fire safe cigarettes are cigarettes that are designed to extinguish more quickly than standard cigarettes, if ignored, with the intention of preventing accidental fires. These products are also known as Lower Ignition Propensity (LIP), Reduced Fire Risk (RFR), self-extinguishing, fire-safe or Reduced Ignition Propensity (RIP) cigarettes. In the

- Royal Institute of Philosophy The Royal Institute of Philosophy, founded in 1925, is a charity organisation based in London that offers lectures and conferences on philosophical topics. The Institute is not committed to any particular philosophical school, method or ideology. The Institute’s membership includes both professional philosophers and lay people, a UK educational institution
