These proteins are considered to be efflux pumps that remove these divalent metal ions from cells. However, some members of the C... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35049854 |
Characteristic number (fluid dynamics)
Characteristic numbers are dimensionless numbers used in fluid dynamics to describe a character of the flow. To compare a real situation (e.g. an aircraft) with a small-scale model it is necessary to keep the important characteristic numbers the same. Names of these numbers... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=35066988 |
