Illegitimate recombination, also known as non-homologous recombination, is much less well understood mechanistically than homologous recombination.

Illegitimate recombination... is both very rare and results... in gains in the amount of DNA carried by an organism.

… as more and more home viewing occurs on large-screen high resolution televisions and other display devices, movie theaters have sought to differentiate the movie theater experience from home viewing by offering three-dimensional films. As is well known, such technology works by encoding stereoscopic images in different colors, and using special 3D glasses with color filters to present different(offset) images to the left and right eyes.

CONT

The motion of free-floating space robots is characterized by non-holonomic constraints, i. e., non-integrable rate constraint equations. These constraints originate from the principles of conservation of angular momentum. It is well known that these rate constraints can also be written to form an input-affine drift-less control system. Trajectory planning of these systems is extremely challenging and computation intensive since the motion must satisfy differential constraints. Under certain conditions, these drift-less control systems can be shown to be differentially flat.

CONT

To date, most of the research on the control of space robots has centered on "free-floating" robots. Free-floating robots are defined as space robots where the satellite base position and orientation are unactuated. Without base actuation, no external forces or torques act upon the system when the end-effector is not in contact with the work environment. The linear and angular momenta of the system are conserved, so the spacecraft base moves in reaction to commanded arm motion.

Factors that affect the appearance of a latent print include the pliability of skin, condition of skin, deposition pressure, lateral movement, matrix (substance coating the ridges), substrate (surface on which the print is deposited), and development method. An important part of the initial analysis is the determination of how these factors might affect the latent print.

CONT

It is well known that the pressure of deposition is an important parameter for the success of latent fingermark visualization; the higher the pressure the more fingermark material that is left. Therefore, for this indirect method, it was suggested that the female donors may have applied less force while depositing the fingermarks, due to the lighter weight of their hands compared to those of the male donors...

  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The intrinsic angular momentum of an elementary particle or nucleus, which exists even when the particle is at rest, as distinguished from orbital angular momentum.

CONT

Elementary particles can be described in terms of a few simple properties. The most obvious of these are the mass and electric charge of the particle.... There is a... property which all particles carry, quantum mechanical spin. The name spin comes from an analogy with classical electro-magnetics. In classical electromagnetic theory, it is well known that a charged particle that is moving through a magnetic field will be deflected. If the particle... is spinning about some axis the deflection will be changed; i. e. the particle will go in a different direction than if it wasn’t spinning. The effect will depend on both the rate of spin and the rotation axis. In quantum mechanics, a similar effect is observed with any quantum particle. When passed through magnetic fields, they behave as if they are spinning electric charges. What's more, they behave as if their rates of spin are integral 0, 1, 2,... or half-integral(1/2, 3/2,...) of a base unit... much like charges come in basic multiples of the electron's charge. The concept of spin here is a bit more abstract than in the classical case. With a classical particle you can paint a little dot on the particle... and directly measure the rotation rate by counting the number of times you see the spot in a minute. This is not possible for quantum particles. They are not little spinning balls in that sense.

It is becoming increasingly well known to both specialists and the general public that agricultural credit is a powerful and effective tool in agricultural development. Through it, capital needed for improved agricultural practices is made available, and this in turn facilitates increasing agricultural yields... Certain forms of agricultural credit relate to land tenure only and to credit institutes which are peculiar to certain countries or special regions within the same country.

It is well known that prior knowledge generates constructive memory... Constructive memory emphasizes acting processes of filling out the meaning of information during encoding and retrieving, with errors frequently occurring. So prior knowledge not only facilitates memory but also hinders memory because of its constructive nature.

CONT

Mémoire constructive. Propriété de la mémoire qui fait en sorte que nous mémorisons les événements en fonction de notre connaissance du monde. Par exemple, le témoin d'un vol à mains armées peut se rappeler que le voleur portait une cagoule alors que c'est faux. Ce rappel erroné s'explique par le fait que le témoin du vol sait qu'en général, un voleur porte une cagoule.

CONT

Pit sawing operations have a long and vibrant history. Well before circular saws were used to saw logs lengthwise, they were processed by placing them over a "pit"-hence the reference to "pit saw. "The saw operates vertically up and down. Operated by two men, a man on top, known as the "Top Dog", guided the saw as it was pulled down in a cutting motion by the "Underdog. "The "Top dog" recovered the saw and the "Underdog" then pulled it down in a cutting motion again. Needless to say the "Underdog" copped a fair bit of sawdust. The top of the saw has a fixed "tiller handle" so the topdog can guide it and cut a straight line. The lower part of the saw has a "block" which is easily detachable with a wedge. The block can be taken off to allow the saw to be threaded through the saw cut.

DEF

A solution found by evaluating functions and solving equations.

CONT

An analytical solution is one that can be explicitly written down, also called a closed form solution. Analytical solutions can not be found for many partial differential and ordinary differential equations(most in fact). In the case when an analytical solution has not been found yet, numerical methods may be applied to get an approximate solution. For instance a well known equation with an analytical solution is the wave equation. On the other hand, a well known equation that doesn’t have an analytical solution is the Navier-Stokes equation.

OBS

In physics and engineering the usual terminology is "analytical solution," [instead of the term "closed-form expression," used in mathematics].
