Quantal neurotransmitter release is the process by which neurons communicate by releasing neurotransmitters in discrete, measurable units known as quanta . Each quantum represents the contents of a single synaptic vesicle , which fuses with the presynaptic membrane to release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft ....

Quantasomes are particles found in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place. They are embedded in a paracrystalline array on the surface of thylakoid discs in chloroplasts. They are composed of lipids and proteins that include various photosynthetic pigments and redox carriers. For thi...

An interferon-gamma release assay ( IGRA ) is a diagnostic tool for indicating a latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). IGRAs are surrogate markers of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and indicate a cellular immune response to M. tuberculosis if the latter is present. IGRAs cannot distinguish between latent infecti...

In mathematics and empirical science , quantification (or quantitation ) is the act of counting and measuring that maps human sense observations and experiences into quantities . Quantification in this sense is fundamental to the scientific method . Some measure of the undisputed general importance of quantification i...

In logic , a quantifier is an operator that specifies how many individuals in the domain of discourse satisfy an open formula . For instance, the universal quantifier ∀ {\displaystyle \forall } in the first-order formula ∀ x P ( x ) {\displaystyle \forall xP(x)} expresses that everything in the domain satisfies the pro...

Quantifier elimination is a concept of simplification used in mathematical logic , model theory , and theoretical computer science . Informally, a quantified statement " ∃ x {\displaystyle \exists x} such that ..." can be viewed as a question "When is there an x {\displaystyle x} such that ...?", and the statement with...

In mathematical logic , the quantifier rank of a formula is the depth of nesting of its quantifiers . It plays an essential role in model theory . The quantifier rank is a property of the formula itself (i.e. the expression in a language). Thus two logically equivalent formulae can have different quantifier ranks, wh...

In analytical chemistry , quantitative analysis is the determination of the absolute or relative abundance (often expressed as a concentration ) of one, several or all particular substance(s) present in a sample. [ 1 ] It relates to the determination of percentage of constituents in any given sample. [ 2 ] Once the pr...
