The comprehensive analysis of an organism's genome (the full complement of inherited information-bearing genetic material residing in an organism's chromosomes), including, but not limited to, its genes and the signaling codes regulating gene expression. As a discipline, genomics focuses on an organism's entire set of genes rather than on individual genes. The term was coined in 1986 to name a journal oriented to the mapping, sequencing, and analysis of genomes.
Industry:Science
Symptoms in humans which result from a sudden reduction in atmospheric pressure. It is also called dysbarism, caisson disease, the bends, and compressed-air illness. It is most commonly seen in two groups of subjects: those who rapidly ascend in nonpressurized airplanes to altitudes in excess of 18,000 ft (5500 m); and divers, scuba divers, sandhogs, and professional workers in hyperbaric chambers who work under increased ambient pressures and are decompressed.
Industry:Science
The imaginary part of the admittance of an alternating-current circuit.
Industry:Science
The field in which the subatomic fragments emitted in radioactive decay (alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays) or produced by high-voltage accelerators (electrons, protons, x-rays) are applied to the problems of science, engineering, industry, and medicine. The techniques are extraordinarily versatile and sensitive and are basically inexpensive. A disadvantage that limits the range and extent of these applications is the health hazard that may be involved.
Industry:Science
The conveyance of electric power by conductors carrying unidirectional currents.
Industry:Science
The amount and rate of production which occur in a given ecosystem over a given time period. It may apply to a single organism, a population, or entire communities and ecosystems. Productivity can be expressed in terms of dry matter produced per area per time (net production), or in terms of energy produced per area per time (gross production = respiration + heat losses + net production). In aquatic systems, productivity is often measured in volume instead of area.
Industry:Science
The common names for hexacyanoferrate(III) and hexacyanoferrate(II), respectively.
Industry:Science
The classical definition of geodesy is the “science of the measurement and mapping of the Earth's surface” by direct measurements, such as terrestrial triangulation, leveling, and gravimetric observations, and, in the past 50 years, also with space techniques, based primarily on the tracking of a wide range of artificial Earth satellites. The primary mission of geodesy can be defined as:
Industry:Science
The contouring of a body to reduce its resistance (drag) to motion through a fluid.
