The most important order of the protozoan subclass Coccidia, in the class Telosporea, subphylum Sporozoa. In this group there is alternation of asexual and sexual phases of the life cycle, and the parasitic stages occur within the cells of vertebrates or invertebrates. There are three suborders.
Industry:Science
The presence of three or more chromosome sets in a cell. Polyploidy may characterize an entire organism or may occur in only a subset of cells (endopolyploidy). In recent years, the terms genome doubling and genome-wide duplication have been used frequently in place of the older term polyploidy.
Industry:Science
The science involved with maintaining a microbiologically controlled environment, and with the knowledge necessary to obtain and use biological specimens in this environment. The roots of the word are <i>gnotos</i>, meaning well known, and <i>biota</i>, the combined flora and fauna of a region.
Industry:Science
The submerged portions of the continental masses on crustal plates, including the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. All continental masses have some continental margin, but there is great variety in the size, shape, and geology depending upon the tectonic setting.
Industry:Science
The name given to certain partial differential equations in classical and quantum physics which relate the spatial and time dependence of physical functions. In this article the classical and quantum wave equations are discussed separately, with the classical equations first for historical reasons.
Industry:Science
The principle that the net fluid force on a body submerged (or floating) in a stationary fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This concept, perhaps the oldest stated principle in fluid mechanics, was first put forth by Archimedes in the third century B.C.
Industry:Science
The resolution of the elements of the genetic material of an organism into a linear array. In order of decreasing size, these elements are chromosomes, genes, and the nucleotide sequence of DNA. A complete description of the genetic material of an organism would consist of its nucleic acid sequence.
Industry:Science
The science of breeding, raising, and caring for the horse. Successful horse production depends upon the use of the most recent advances in breeding methods such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer, feeding, physical conditioning, genetics, health care, marketing, and general management.
Industry:Science
The study of the structure and behavior of the atmosphere in those areas of the world that have monsoon climates. In lay terminology, monsoon connotes the rains of the wet summer season that follows the dry winter. However, for mariners, the term monsoon has come to mean the seasonal wind reversals.
Industry:Science
The material property that measures a fluid's resistance to flowing. For example, water flows from a tilted jar more quickly and easily than honey does. Honey is more viscous than water, so although gravity creates nearly the same stresses in honey and water, the more viscous fluid flows more slowly.
