DEF

Se dit d'une connexion combinant la fibre optique et les fréquences radioélectriques.

CONT

Record 4 2004-06-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
OBS

After the Shuttle leaves the Space Station, the crew will continue installing the Human Research Facility connecting umbilicals and other equipment to link it to systems in the Destiny laboratory. This floor-to-ceiling rack is about the size of a large phone booth and supports a variety of experiments dedicated to studying how space flight affects human physiology. ... This rack houses a computer workstation and a portable laptop computer for crew members to command and test equipment, collect and store experiment data, and send data to and from scientists on Earth. The crew will use this rack to store and send data from the suite of radiation monitors that will be characterizing the radiation environment onboard the Space Station ...

Record 6 1986-08-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Transfer of bacterial genetic markers(fragments of the bacterial chromosome) by the F’ plasmid, derived from Hfr strains.

CONT

In addition, the bacterial genes in the F’ element will not infrequently take part in exchanges with the recipient’s chromosomal genes to produce true recombinants, a phenomenon commonly referred to as sexduction or F-duction.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Acquisition par la bactérie réceptrice, lors d'un processus de conjugaison, de gènes qui, dans certaines souches de bactéries mâles F+, se trouvent liés au facteur sexuel bactérien et sont alors systématiquement transférés en même temps que ce facteur.

CONT

Il existe de même un grand nombre de facteurs F' qui peuvent transmettre - on parle de sexduction - différents loci bactériens.

Record 7 1986-08-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
DEF

Any of the specialized filaments extending from the bacterial surface on whose presence in the donor cells conjugation and gene transfer depend.

CONT

It turns out that these phages adsorb specifically to certain filamentous appendages called sex pili(fimbria) which are produced by F+ and Hfr bacteria.

Key term(s)
  • sex pili

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
DEF

Long appendice qui s'étend à l'extérieur de la membrane bactérienne.

CONT

La spécificité de cette interaction réside dans la paroi cellulaire de la bactérie donneuse et dépend tant de la formation d'un antigène que de la présence de fibrilles sexuelles, antigène et fibrilles étant sous le contrôle du facteur sexuel F.
