Lipidomics is a new field of research focused on the identification and determination of the structure and function of lipids and lipid-derived mediators in biosystems. As practiced today, lipidomics can be subdivided into architecture/membrane lipidomics and mediator lipidomics.

Obesity is an excessive accumulation of body fat which confers health risks (diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, some types of tumors, among others). The health risk is determined by the amount of fat, the distribution of body fat, and the presence of other risk factors.
Industry:Science
Propagating oscillations in the ocean which carry energy and momentum from one region to another. Most ocean waves are caused directly or indirectly by wind blowing across the sea surface. Many waves can propagate through the ocean thousands of miles from where they are generated.
Industry:Science
Rocks originally defined as of hybrid character due to intimate mixing of older rocks (schist and gneiss) with granitic magma. Now most plutonic rocks of mixed appearance, regardless of how the granitic phase formed, are called migmatites. Commonly they appear as veined gneisses.
Industry:Science
Instruments that make a graphic record of one or more quantities as a function of another variable, usually time. Signals representing information, such as the shape of time-varying electronic waveforms or the movements of a machine, are presented in graphical form by these devices.
Industry:Science
Pain is a necessary part of our physiological mechanisms. Pain functions to prevent or limit tissue damage and causes behavioral changes to facilitate, or at least not impede, tissue repair. However, for an unfortunate few, pain can be an unnecessary, debilitating medical challenge.
Industry:Science
Regions where portions of the Earth's tectonic plates are diving beneath other plates, into the Earth's interior. Subduction zones are defined by deep oceanic trenches, lines of volcanoes parallel to the trenches, and zones of large earthquakes that extend from the trenches landward.
Industry:Science
Seeds, ovules containing a fertilized egg and ready to be shed from the plant, are reproductive organs characteristic of both gymnospermous and angiospermous plants. In angiosperms (Magnoliophyta) an additional structure, the matured ovary, encloses one or more seeds to form a fruit.

Solids, liquids, and gases all exhibit dimensional changes for changes in temperature while pressure is held constant. The molecular mechanisms at work and the methods of data presentation are quite different for the three cases and are therefore discussed separately in this article.
Industry:Science
Plane curves traced by a point which executes two independent harmonic motions in perpendicular direction, the frequencies of the motion being in the ratio of two integers. Such figures, produced on the screen of a cathode-ray tube, are widely used in frequency and phase measurements.
