Ecosystem Applications 

Ecosystem Applications are a new category of decentralised computer software application where the creation, ownership and running of an application is shared between all players in an ecosystem in such a way as it allows all players to write data to a shared decentralised data store or ledger, even when there are low levels of trust between players/participants.
Built using Blockchain and Smart Contract technology, Ecosystem Applications allow business sector participants in an ecosystem to create and share the software tools they uses rather than relying on a single organization to create and own such systems.

EcoSystem 

An ecosystem (or ecological system) consists of all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. 458 These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and microbes.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.
