https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locule | A locule (: locules) or loculus (; : loculi) is a small cavity or compartment within an organ or part of an organism (animal, plant, or fungus).
In angiosperms (flowering plants), the term locule usually refers to a chamber within an ovary (gynoecium or carpel) of the flower and fruits. Depending on the number of locu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested%20set%20collection | A nested set collection or nested set family is a collection of sets that consists of chains of subsets forming a hierarchical structure, like Russian dolls.
It is used as reference concept in scientific hierarchy definitions, and many technical approaches, like the tree in computational data structures or nested set... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%20root%20of%20unity | In mathematics, a principal n-th root of unity (where n is a positive integer) of a ring is an element satisfying the equations
In an integral domain, every primitive n-th root of unity is also a principal -th root of unity. In any ring, if n is a power of 2, then any n/2-th root of −1 is a principal n-th root of ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulvinus | A pulvinus (pl. pulvini) is a joint-like thickening at the base of a plant leaf or leaflet that facilitates growth-independent movement. Pulvini are common, for example, in members of the bean family Fabaceae (Leguminosae) and the prayer plant family Marantaceae.
Pulvini may be present at the base of the leaf stalk or... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult-onset%20Still%27s%20disease | Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a form of Still's disease, a rare systemic autoinflammatory disease characterized by the classic triad of fevers, joint pain, and a distinctive salmon-colored bumpy rash. The disease is considered a diagnosis of exclusion. Levels of the iron-binding protein ferritin may be extremel... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange%20invariant | In optics the Lagrange invariant is a measure of the light propagating through an optical system. It is defined by
,
where and are the marginal ray height and angle respectively, and and are the chief ray height and angle. is the ambient refractive index. In order to reduce confusion with other quantities, the s... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous%20cooling%20transformation | A continuous cooling transformation (CCT) phase diagram is often used when heat treating steel. These diagrams are used to represent which types of phase changes will occur in a material as it is cooled at different rates. These diagrams are often more useful than time-temperature-transformation diagrams because it is ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic%20reaction%20centre%20protein%20family | Photosynthetic reaction centre proteins are main protein components of photosynthetic reaction centres (RCs) of bacteria and plants. They are transmembrane proteins embedded in the chloroplast thylakoid or bacterial cell membrane.
Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria have one type of PRC for each of its two photosystems. ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyctinasty | In plant biology, nyctinasty is the circadian rhythm-based nastic movement of higher plants in response to the onset of darkness, or a plant "sleeping". Nyctinastic movements are associated with diurnal light and temperature changes and controlled by the circadian clock. It has been argued that for plants that display... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastocyanin%20family%20of%20copper-binding%20proteins | Plastocyanin/azurin family of copper-binding proteins (or blue (type 1) copper domain) is a family of small proteins that bind a single copper atom and that are characterised by an intense electronic absorption band near 600 nm (see copper proteins). The most well-known members of this class of proteins are the plant c... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General%20bacterial%20porin%20family | General bacterial porins are a family of porin proteins from the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. The porins act as molecular filters for hydrophilic compounds. They are responsible for the 'molecular sieve' properties of the outer membrane. Porins form large water-filled channels which allow the diffusion of... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer%20membrane%20receptor | Outer membrane receptors, also known as TonB-dependent receptors, are a family of beta barrel proteins named for their localization in the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. TonB complexes sense signals from the outside of bacterial cells and transmit them into the cytoplasm, leading to transcriptional activatio... |
