Como la deterioración de alimentos tratados térmicamente puede derivar de una mala manipulación de la materia prima antes de la elaboración, de un tratamiento insuficiente o de contaminación por infiltración después del tratamiento térmico, los procedimientos para establecer la causa de la deterioración no deben limitarse al examen del alimento para descubrir microorganismos viables. 1, record 1, Spanish, - alimento%20tratado%20t%C3%A9rmicamente

It is often useful to make a distinction between a "dose-effect" relationship, i.e. the graded response after exposure to varying doses of a toxicant, and a "dose-response" relationship, i.e. the incidence at which a "quantal" response occurs in a population exposed to varying doses of the toxicant. 2, record 2, English, - dose%2Deffect
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The dose-effect relationship is the relationship between dose and effect on the individual level. An increase in dose may increase the intensity of an effect, or a more severe effect may result. A dose-effect curve may be obtained at the level of the whole organism, the cell or the target molecule. Some toxic effects, such as death or cancer, are not graded but are "all or none" effects. 3, record 2, English, - dose%2Deffect

Si la relation dose-effet correspond à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et l'intensité d'un effet biologique de nature donnée chez un individu», la relation dose-réponse, correspond pour sa part à la «relation entre la quantité de produit chimique absorbée et la proportion d'individus d'un groupe présentant un effet de nature et d'intensité données». 2, record 2, French, - dose%2Deffet

A construct is a piece of DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] which functions as the vehicle or vector carrying the target gene into the recipient organism. It has several different regions... There is a promoter region which controls the activity of the target gene, a region where the target DNA is inserted, usually some type of reporter gene to enable one to ascertain whether the target has combined successfully with the construct and a termination sequence. 3, record 3, English, - genetic%20construct
