95,489 | The Allee effect is a phenomenon in biology characterized by a correlation between population size or density and the mean individual fitness (often measured as per capita population growth rate) of a population or species. | Allee effect | 0.778685 |
95,490 | In terms of gauge theory on natural bundles, gauge fields are linear connections on a world manifold X {\displaystyle X} , defined as principal connections on the linear frame bundle F X {\displaystyle FX} , and a metric (tetrad) gravitational field plays the role of a Higgs field responsible for spontaneous symmetry b... | Gauge gravitation theory | 0.778682 |
95,491 | In quantum field theory, gauge gravitation theory is the effort to extend Yang–Mills theory, which provides a universal description of the fundamental interactions, to describe gravity. Gauge gravitation theory should not be confused with the similarly-named gauge theory gravity, which is a formulation of (classical) g... | Gauge gravitation theory | 0.778682 |
95,492 | This is among the most important reasons that diethyl ether has fallen out of favor as a general anesthetic. Diethyl ether is still commonly used as a solvent and reagent in organic chemistry laboratories, though with caution.Diethyl ether was initially replaced by non-flammable (but more toxic) halogenated hydrocarbon... | Halogenated ether | 0.778682 |
95,493 | Small amounts of aprotinin can be added to tubes of drawn blood to enable laboratory measurement of certain rapidly degraded proteins such as glucagon.In cell biology aprotinin is used as an enzyme inhibitor to prevent protein degradation during lysis or homogenization of cells and tissues.Aprotinin can be labelled wit... | Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor | 0.778681 |
95,494 | Initially named "kallikrein inactivator", aprotinin was first isolated from cow parotid glands in 1930. and independently as a trypsin inhibitor from bovine pancreas in 1936. It was purified from bovine lung in 1964. As it inhibits pancreatic enzymes, it was initially used in the treatment for acute pancreatitis, in wh... | Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor | 0.778681 |
95,495 | Using several data sets (including breeding bird surveys from New York and Pennsylvania and moth collections from Maine, Alberta and Saskatchewan) Frank W. Preston (1948) argued that species abundances (when binned logarithmically in a Preston plot) follow a normal (Gaussian) distribution, partly as a result of the cen... | Relative species abundance | 0.778681 |
95,496 | Relative species abundance is a component of biodiversity and is a measure of how common or rare a species is relative to other species in a defined location or community. Relative abundance is the percent composition of an organism of a particular kind relative to the total number of organisms in the area. Relative sp... | Relative species abundance | 0.778681 |
95,497 | Kerr rotation and Kerr ellipticity are changes in the polarization of incident light which comes in contact with a gyromagnetic material. Kerr rotation is a rotation in the plane of polarization of transmitted light, and Kerr ellipticity is the ratio of the major to minor axis of the ellipse traced out by elliptically ... | Magneto-optic crystal | 0.77868 |
95,498 | The Laplace transform is "half" of a Fourier transform; from the decomposition L 2 ( R ) = L 2 ( − ∞ , 0 ) ⊕ L 2 ( 0 , ∞ ) {\displaystyle L^{2}(\mathbb {R} )=L^{2}(-\infty ,0)\oplus L^{2}(0,\infty )} one then obtains an orthogonal decomposition of L 2 ( R ) {\displaystyle L^{2}(\mathbb {R} )} into two Hardy spaces L 2 ... | H square | 0.77868 |
95,499 | A key characteristic of organic farming is the exclusion of genetically engineered plants and animals. On 19 October 1998, participants at IFOAM's 12th Scientific Conference issued the Mar del Plata Declaration, where more than 600 delegates from over 60 countries voted unanimously to exclude the use of genetically mod... | Organic agriculture | 0.778679 |
