  2. Partition coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_coefficient

    For example, the blood/gas partition coefficient of a general anesthetic measures how easily the anesthetic passes from gas to blood. [5] Partition coefficients can also be defined when one of the phases is solid, for instance, when one phase is a molten metal and the second is a solid metal, [6] or when both phases are solids. [7]

  3. Biomass partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomass_partitioning

    Biomass partitioning is the process by which plants divide their energy among their leaves, stems, roots, and reproductive parts.These four main components of the plant have important morphological roles: leaves take in CO 2 and energy from the sun to create carbon compounds, stems grow above competitors to reach sunlight, roots absorb water and mineral nutrients from the soil while anchoring ...

  4. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    The most common method of measuring amino acid hydrophobicity is partitioning between two immiscible liquid phases. Different organic solvents are most widely used to mimic the protein interior. However, organic solvents are slightly miscible with water and the characteristics of both phases change making it difficult to obtain pure ...

  5. Liquid–liquid extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid–liquid_extraction

    A separatory funnel used for liquid–liquid extraction, as evident by the two immiscible liquids.. Liquid–liquid extraction, also known as solvent extraction and partitioning, is a method to separate compounds or metal complexes, based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquids, usually water (polar) and an organic solvent (non-polar).

  6. Quantitative structure–activity relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_structure...

    The following learning method can be any of the already mentioned machine learning methods, e.g. support vector machines. [21] An alternative approach uses multiple-instance learning by encoding molecules as sets of data instances, each of which represents a possible molecular conformation. A label or response is assigned to each set ...

  7. Extraction (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraction_(chemistry)

    The distribution of a solute between two phases is an equilibrium condition described by partition theory. This is based on exactly how the analyte moves from the initial solvent into the extracting solvent. The term washing may also be used to refer to an extraction in which impurities are extracted from the solvent containing the desired ...

  8. Plasmid partition system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasmid_partition_system

    A plasmid partition system is a mechanism that ensures the stable inheritance of plasmids during bacterial cell division. Each plasmid has its independent replication system which controls the number of copies of the plasmid in a cell.

  9. Cylinder set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_set

    Cylinder sets are often used to define a measure, using the Kolmogorov extension theorem; for example, the measure of a cylinder set of length m might be given by 1/m or by 1/2 m. Cylinder sets may be used to define a metric on the space: for example, one says that two strings are ε-close if a fraction 1−ε of the letters in the strings match.
