  2. Fission (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_(biology)

    Binary fission is generally rapid, though its speed varies between species. For E. coli, cells typically divide about every 20 minutes at 37 °C. [11] Because the new cells will, in turn, undergo binary fission on their own, the time binary fission requires is also the time the bacterial culture requires to double in the number of cells it ...

  3. Fission product yield - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fission_product_yield

    Fission product yields by mass for thermal neutron fission of U-235, Pu-239, a combination of the two typical of current nuclear power reactors, and U-233 used in the thorium fuel cycle If a graph of the mass or mole yield of fission products against the atomic number of the fragments is drawn then it has two peaks, one in the area zirconium ...

    The UK's examination boards sometimes work together. For example, they sometimes offer qualifications jointly or share training materials for common parts of specifications. The JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) is a common voice for UK exam boards. The JCQ is made up of AQA, CCEA, City & Guilds, Edexcel, OCR, SQA and WJEC.

  5. Cell division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_division

    The cell cycle in eukaryotes: I = Interphase, M = Mitosis, G 0 = Gap 0, G 1 = Gap 1, G 2 = Gap 2, S = Synthesis, G 3 = Gap 3. Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells. [1] Cell division usually occurs as part of a larger cell cycle in which the cell grows and replicates its chromosome(s) before dividing.

    A minor actinide is an actinide, other than uranium or plutonium, found in spent nuclear fuel.The minor actinides include neptunium (element 93), americium (element 95), curium (element 96), berkelium (element 97), californium (element 98), einsteinium (element 99), and fermium (element 100).

  8. SAM (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAM_(file_format)

    The SAM format consists of a header and an alignment section. [1] The binary equivalent of a SAM file is a Binary Alignment Map (BAM) file, which stores the same data in a compressed binary representation. [4] SAM files can be analysed and edited with the software SAMtools. [1] The header section must be prior to the alignment section if it is ...

  9. Geology of the South Downs National Park - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_the_South_Downs...

    Chalk is the rock type associated most closely with the National Park and, in common with the chalk which provides other key landscape features in the southeast of England, was formed by the settling to the sea floor of myriad coccoliths (microscopic plates of calcium carbonate formed by single-celled algae known as coccolithophores) during the Late Cretaceous epoch between about 100 and 70 ...
