acetyltransferase, transacetylase
Any enzyme transferring acetyl groups from one compound to another.
allogenic transformation
Reciprocal transformation of two mutants to the wild type by the action of a transforming principle obtained from the other one.
allotransplantation
1. The replacement of lost or damaged tissue with an allograft.
2. Grafting or transplantation of tissue from one individual into another of the same species.
Amphora transformed into @
It is apparently from amphora that we get the @ symbol.
autocholecystotransversecolostomy
Spontaneous invagination of the gallbladder into the transverse colon with formation of an opening between the two organs.
autologous transfusion (s), autologous transfusions (pl) (noun forms)
A procedure for collecting and storing a patient's own blood several weeks before its anticipated need by the patient.
Alternatively, blood lost during a surgical procedure can be recovered from the operation site and processed for transfusion.
This method of providing blood for an individual is used to prevent the transmission of disease that can occur with the use of donor blood.
autotransfusion (s), autotransfusions (pl); autohemotransfusion (s), autohemotransfusions (pl); autoreinfusion (s), autoreinfusions (pl) (noun forms)
1. Withdrawal and re-injection or transfusion of the patient's own blood.
2. Infusion of a patient's own blood, either collected and returned to the body during surgery or transfused from a stored supply.
biotransformation
1. The conversion of molecules from one form to another within an organism, often associated with change in pharmacologic activity; refers especially to drugs and other xenobiotics. Also, biodegradation..
2. The change of one chemical into another while within a living organism.
3. The chemical alterations that a substance undergoes in the body.
boustrophedon transform
In mathematics, the boustrophedon transform is a procedure which maps one sequence to another. The transformed sequence is computed by filling a triangle in boustrophedon (zig-zag) manner.
cadaver blood transfusion (s), cadaver blood transfusions (pl) (noun forms)
A transfusion using blood obtained from a cadaver within a short time after death.
contransduction
The process by which two genetic markers are simultaneously packaged within a bacteriophage for transfer to a new host bacterium.
costotransversectomy
Excision of a part of a rib with the transverse process of a vertebra.
data transfer rate (s), data transfer rates (pl)
The number of characters that can be transferred from an RFID tag to a reader within a given time.
Baud rates are also used to quantify how fast readers can read the information on the RFID tag. This differs from read rate, which refers to how many tags can be read within a given period of time.
delta matching transformer
The Y-shaped matching section of a delta-matched antenna.
diachronous; time-transgressive
1. In geology, a rock unit, varying in age in different areas or cutting across time planes or biostratigraphic zones; time-transgressive.
2. Describing a lithological unit whose age varies from place to place, or a lithological unit (rock formation) which cuts across various times or biostratigraphic zones.
3. A geological deposit in which a sedimentary rock formation apparently consists of similar material, but varies in age from place to place.
For example, as a shoreline advances or retreats, a succession of continuous deposits representing different environments; such as, beach, shallow water, and deeper water, may be left behind as their ages vary depending on the positions of the shorelines through the various time sequences.
