  2. Propagule pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagule_pressure

    Propagule pressure plays an important role in species invasions (Groom, 2006). Charles Darwin was the first to study specific factors related to invasions of non-native species. In his research he identified that few members of the same genus were present in habitats containing naturalized non-indigenous species (Colautti et al., 2006).

  3. LabCorp v. Metabolite, Inc. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LabCorp_v._Metabolite,_Inc.

    Metabolite, Inc., 548 U.S. 124 (2006), is the first case since Diamond v. Chakrabarty [1] in which the U.S. Supreme Court indicated a renewed interest in examining the limits of patentable subject matter for advances in life sciences. Although the Court initially agreed to hear the case, it was later dismissed in 2006 with three Justices ...

  4. Chemical database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_database

    Chemical structures are traditionally represented using lines indicating chemical bonds between atoms and drawn on paper (2D structural formulae).While these are ideal visual representations for the chemist, they are unsuitable for computational use and especially for search and storage.

  5. AMP-activated protein kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMP-activated_protein_kinase

    5' AMP-activated protein kinase or AMPK or 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase is an enzyme (EC 2.7.11.31) that plays a role in cellular energy homeostasis, largely to activate glucose and fatty acid uptake and oxidation when cellular energy is low.

  6. F. Albert Cotton - Wikipedia

    In 1995, the Department of Chemistry at Texas A&M along with the local section of the American Chemical Society, inaugurated the annual F.A. Cotton Medal for excellence in chemical research. A second award named in his honor, the F. Albert Cotton Award for Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry, [ 15 ] is presented at the National Meeting of the ...

  7. Enhanced oil recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_oil_recovery

    Crude oil development and production can include up to three distinct phases: primary, secondary, and tertiary (or enhanced) recovery. During primary recovery, the natural pressure of the reservoir or gravity drive oil into the wellbore, combined with artificial lift techniques (such as pumps) which bring the oil to the surface.

  8. HSAB theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSAB_theory

    HSAB is widely used in chemistry for explaining the stability of compounds, reaction mechanisms and pathways. It assigns the terms 'hard' or 'soft', and 'acid' or 'base' to chemical species . 'Hard' applies to species which are small, have high charge states (the charge criterion applies mainly to acids, to a lesser extent to bases), and are ...

  9. C. Robert Cloninger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Robert_Cloninger

    This question led to longitudinal studies of people with each of these disorders and then family and adoption studies. [ 17 ] [ 34 ] In order to better quantify and test hypotheses about the inheritance of psychiatric disorders, he studied quantitative genetics with Theodore Reich in St. Louis and with Newton Morton and D.C. Rao of the ...
