McGraw Hill Financial, Inc. is an American publicly traded corporation headquartered in Rockefeller Center in New York City. Its primary areas of business are financial, publishing, and business services.
The scientific study of people, with their living and extinct primate relatives, using the evidence of teeth. Dental anthropologists include not only those trained in anthropology but also practicing dentists, anatomists, radiologists, forensic scientists, biochemists and geneticists, archeologists, paleontologists, and zoologists.
Industry:Science
The liquid portion that remains when blood is allowed to clot spontaneously and is then centrifuged to remove the blood cells and clotting elements. It is approximately of the same volume (55%) as plasma and differs from it only by the absence of fibrinogen which, after conversion into fibrin, is incorporated in the separated clot.
Industry:Science
The phosphoinositides (PIs) are important building blocks of the lipid bilayer of biological membranes, representing about 10% of the total phospholipids in the membrane. They also have essential roles in cell signaling, membrane trafficking, and cytoskeleton dynamics. Serious diseases are associated with disorders in PI metabolism.
Industry:Science
The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid. For pure substances, the melting or fusion process occurs at a single temperature, the temperature rise with addition of heat being arrested until melting is complete. The direct transition from solid phase to gas phase is not properly called melting, but preferably, sublimation.
Industry:Science
The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance. It is applied mainly to acoustic or electromagnetic waves and is expressed as the ratio of power densities. Various mechanisms can give rise to attenuation. Among the most important are geometrical attenuation, absorption, and scattering.
Industry:Science
The removal of excess material from a cell or a living animal. Such a definition is so broad that it is necessary to set some limits to the discussion that follows. The first limitation will be to the animal kingdom since excretion appears not to be a major problem in the plant kingdom—partly because of the difference in physiology.
Industry:Science
The science and technology of interactive surfaces in relative motion. It incorporates various scientific and technological disciplines such as surface chemistry, fluid mechanics, materials, lubricants, contact mechanics, bearings, and lubrication systems. It is customarily divided into three branches: friction, lubrication, and wear.
Industry:Science
The science which deals with the selection, breeding, nutrition, and management of domestic animals for economical production of meat, milk, eggs, wool, hides, and other animal products. Horses for draft and pleasure, dogs and cats for pets, rabbits for meat production, and bees for honey production may also be included in this group.
Industry:Science
The net movement (transport) of water and solutes from outside an organism to its interior. The unidirectional flow of materials into an animal from the environment generally takes place across the alimentary tract, the lungs, or the skin, and in each location a specific cell layer called an epithelium regulates the passage of materials.
Industry:Science
The technology relating to the establishment of electrical interconnections and appropriate housing for electrical circuitry. In particular, packaging for microelectronics focuses on interconnections between integrated circuits to achieve higher levels of assembly and electronic function, such as the storage and processing of information.
