Interstate Highway standards Standards for Interstate Highways are defined by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in the publication A Policy on Design Standards - Interstate System. For a certain highway to be considered an Interstate, it must meet these construction requirements or obtain a waiver from the Federal Highway Administration.
Interstate Highways in Alaska There are four officially designated interstate highways in Alaska, even though Alaska is usually considered to have no interstates, and the routes do not connect directly to any highways in the contiguous United States.
Interstate Highways in Puerto Rico There are three officially designated Interstate Highways in Puerto Rico. As with Interstate Highways in Alaska and Hawaii, these routes do not connect to the United States Interstate Highway system, but still receive funding in a similar fashion to the Interstates in the contiguous US.

The longest tenured of these was the last incarnation, which played in the Middle Atlantic states from 1939 through 1952, and was one of the few mid-level minor leagues to operate continuously during the World War II period.
Interstate matches in Australian rules football Australian rules football matches between teams representing Australian colonies/states and territories have been held since 1879. For most of the 20th century, the absence of a national club competition and international matches meant that football games between state representative teams were regarded with great importance.

Interstellar planetary mass object An interstellar planetary mass object is an object which has equivalent mass to a planet and is not gravitationally bound to any star, and that therefore moves through space as an independent object. Several astronomers claim to have detected such objects, but those detections remain unconfirmed.
Interstellar reddening In astronomy, interstellar reddening is a phenomenon associated with interstellar extinction where the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation from a radiation source changes characteristics from that which was emitted. Reddening occurs due to the light scattering off dust and other matter in the interstellar medium, not to be confused with redshifts which are proportional frequency shifts of spectra without distortion.
Interstellar Space Interstellar Space was one of the last albums recorded before the death of John Coltrane in 1967. It consists of an extended duet suite (in four parts) with the drummer Rashied Ali, and was recorded at the Van Gelder Studios on February 22, 1967, the week after the session that produced Stellar Regions.
Interstellar teleporter An interstellar teleporter is a hypothetical technology appearing in science fiction, typically in hard sci-fi, which moves people and/or other objects over interstellar distances instantaneously. In some cases the matter of the physical person or object is disassembled at the point of departure and information is transmitted so that the person or object may be reassembled at the point of arrival.
Interstellar travel and the Wait Calculation The Wait Calculation was introduced by Andrew Kennedy in his paper, Interstellar Travel: The Wait Calculation and the Incentive Trap of Progress, JBIS V 59 no 7 July 2006. In this paper, Kennedy lays to rest the fear that continued growth will put off travellers setting out for the stars because they expect to be overtaken by later travellers who have faster speeds at their disposal.
Interster Interster (Afrikaans, Inter-star) was a weekly science-fiction puppet television show made for children and shown in South Africa from the late 1970s. SABC children's programming was quite innovative during the late 1970s to early 1980s — the impossiblity of purchasing Thunderbirds forced the SABC to produce Interster, but also the technical challenge offered the opportunity to truly flex the SABC's creative muscles.

Interval (mathematics) In elementary algebra, an interval is a set that contains every real number between two indicated numbers and possibly the two numbers themselves. Interval notation is the notation in which permitted values for a variable are expressed as ranging over a certain interval; "5 < x < 9" is an example of the application of interval notation.
Interval (time) With regards to time, an interval or period is the duration between two events or occurrences of similar events. It is related to the mathematical concept of interval in that the interval contains all of the points of time between the two events.
Interval class In musical set theory, an interval class, or ic, is the shortest distance in pitch class space between two unordered pitch classes. For example, the interval class between pitch classes 4 and 9 is 5 because 9 - 4 = 5 is less than 4 - 9 = -5 ≡ 7.
Interval estimation In statistics, interval estimation is the use of sample data to calculate an interval of possible (or probable) values of an unknown population parameter. The most prevalent forms of interval estimation are confidence intervals (a frequentist method) and credible intervals (a Bayesian method).
