https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microneme | Micronemes are secretory organelles, possessed by parasitic apicomplexans. Micronemes are located on the apical third of the protozoan body. They are surrounded by a typical unit membrane. On electron microscopy they have an electron-dense matrix due to the high protein content. They are specialized secretory organelle... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CpG | CpG can be:
CpG site - methylated sequences of DNA significant in gene regulation
CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide - unmethylated sequences of DNA that have immunostimulatory properties
CpG island - regions of DNA that contain several CpG sites |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti%20sort | Spaghetti sort is a linear-time, analog algorithm for sorting a sequence of items, introduced by A. K. Dewdney in his Scientific American column. This algorithm sorts a sequence of items requiring O(n) stack space in a stable manner. It requires a parallel processor.
Algorithm
For simplicity, assume we are sorting a l... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity%20index | The viscosity index (VI) is an arbitrary, unit-less measure of a fluid's change in viscosity relative to temperature change. It is mostly used to characterize the viscosity-temperature behavior of lubricating oils. The lower the VI, the more the viscosity is affected by changes in temperature. The higher the VI, the mo... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc%E2%80%93carbon%20battery | A zinc–carbon battery (or carbon zinc battery in U.S. English) is a dry cell primary battery that provides direct electric current from the electrochemical reaction between zinc (Zn) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) in the presence of an ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) electrolyte. It produces a voltage of about 1.5 volts betwee... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20UK%20sites%20recognised%20for%20their%20importance%20in%20biodiversity%20conservation | This article provides a list of sites in the United Kingdom which are recognised for their importance to biodiversity conservation. The list is divided geographically by region and county.
Inclusion criteria
Sites are included in this list if they are given any of the following designations:
Sites of importance in ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basket%20cell | Basket cells are inhibitory GABAergic interneurons of the brain, found throughout different regions of the cortex and cerebellum.
Anatomy and physiology
Basket cells are multipolar GABAergic interneurons that function to make inhibitory synapses and control the overall potentials of target cells. In general, dendrites... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amastigote | An amastigote is a protist cell that does not have visible external flagella or cilia. The term is used mainly to describe an intracellular phase in the life-cycle of trypanosomes that replicates. It is also called the leishmanial stage, since in Leishmania it is the form the parasite takes in the vertebrate host, but ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexin | Annexin is a common name for a group of cellular proteins. They are mostly found in eukaryotic organisms (animal, plant and fungi).
In humans, the annexins are found inside the cell. However some annexins (Annexin A1, Annexin A2, and Annexin A5) can be secreted from the cytoplasm to outside cellular environments, such... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spermine | Spermine is a polyamine involved in cellular metabolism that is found in all eukaryotic cells. The precursor for synthesis of spermine is the amino acid ornithine. It is an essential growth factor in some bacteria as well. It is found as a polycation at physiological pH. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids and i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accounting%20equation | The fundamental accounting equation, also called the balance sheet equation, represents the relationship between the assets, liabilities, and owner's equity of a person or business. It is the foundation for the double-entry bookkeeping system. For each transaction, the total debits equal the total credits. It can be ex... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20fluid%20mechanics | The history of fluid mechanics is a fundamental strand of the history of physics and engineering. The study of the movement of fluids (liquids and gases) and the forces that act upon them dates back to pre-history. The field has undergone a continuous evolution, driven by human dependence on water, meteorological condi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunomagnetic%20separation | Immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is a laboratory tool that can efficiently isolate cells out of body fluid or cultured cells. It can also be used as a method of quantifying the pathogenicity of food, blood or feces. DNA analysis have supported the combined use of both this technique and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric%20integrator | In the mathematical field of numerical ordinary differential equations, a geometric integrator is a numerical method that preserves geometric properties of the exact flow of a differential equation.
Pendulum example
We can motivate the study of geometric integrators by considering the motion of a pendulum.
Assume tha... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matorral | Matorral is a Spanish word, along with tomillares, for shrubland, thicket or bushes. It is used in naming and describing a Mediterranean climate ecosystem in Southern Europe.
Mediterranean region
Matorral originally referred to the Matorral shrublands and woodlands in the Mediterranean climate regions of Spain and ot... |
