https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variant%20%28biology%29 | In microbiology and virology, the term variant or genetic variant is used to describe a subtype of a microorganism that is genetically distinct from a main strain, but not sufficiently different to be termed a distinct strain. A similar distinction is made in botany between different cultivated varieties of a species o... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetotactic%20bacteria | Magnetotactic bacteria (or MTB) are a polyphyletic group of bacteria that orient themselves along the magnetic field lines of Earth's magnetic field. Discovered in 1963 by Salvatore Bellini and rediscovered in 1975 by Richard Blakemore, this alignment is believed to aid these organisms in reaching regions of optimal ox... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histone%20octamer | In molecular biology, a histone octamer is the eight-protein complex found at the center of a nucleosome core particle. It consists of two copies of each of the four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The octamer assembles when a tetramer, containing two copies of H3 and two of H4, complexes with two H2A/H2B... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl%20green | Methyl green (CI 42585) is a cationic or positive charged stain related to Ethyl Green that has been used for staining DNA since the 19th century. It has been used for staining cell nuclei either as a part of the classical Unna-Pappenheim stain or as a nuclear counterstain ever since.
In recent years, its fluorescent ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific%20Symposium%20on%20Biocomputing | The Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) is an annual multidisciplinary scientific meeting co-founded in 1996 by Dr. Teri Klein, Dr. Lawrence Hunter and Sharon Surles. The conference is to presentation and discuss research in the theory and application of computational methods for biology. Papers and presentations ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic%20virus | A mosaic virus is any virus that causes infected plant foliage to have a mottled appearance. Such viruses come from a variety of unrelated lineages and consequently there is no taxon that unites all mosaic viruses.
Examples
Virus species that contained the word 'mosaic' in their English language common name are list... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-time%20infrastructure%20%28simulation%29 | In simulation, run-time infrastructure (RTI) is a middleware that is required when implementing the High Level Architecture (HLA). RTI
is the fundamental component of HLA. It provides a set of software services that are necessary to support federates to coordinate their operations and data exchange during a runtime exe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel%20shifter | A barrel shifter is a digital circuit that can shift a data word by a specified number of bits without the use of any sequential logic, only pure combinational logic, i.e. it inherently provides a binary operation. It can however in theory also be used to implement unary operations, such as logical shift left, in cases... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural%20fertility | Natural fertility is the fertility that exists without birth control. The control is the number of children birthed to the parents and is modified as the number of children reaches the maximum. Natural fertility tends to decrease as a society modernizes. Women in a pre-modernized society typically have given birth to a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morphism%20of%20algebraic%20varieties | In algebraic geometry, a morphism between algebraic varieties is a function between the varieties that is given locally by polynomials. It is also called a regular map. A morphism from an algebraic variety to the affine line is also called a regular function.
A regular map whose inverse is also regular is called biregu... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Hookean%20solid | A neo-Hookean solid is a hyperelastic material model, similar to Hooke's law, that can be used for predicting the nonlinear stress-strain behavior of materials undergoing large deformations. The model was proposed by Ronald Rivlin in 1948. In contrast to linear elastic materials, the stress-strain curve of a neo-Hoo... |
