  2. Cascade effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect

    A cascade effect is an inevitable and sometimes unforeseen chain of events due to an act affecting a system. [1] If there is a possibility that the cascade effect will have a negative impact on the system, it is possible to analyze the effects with a consequence / impact analysis .

  3. Biochemical cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_cascade

    Adenosine may have opposite effects on bone metabolism, because while certain purinergic receptors stimulate adenylyl cyclase activity, others have the opposite effect. [ 58 ] [ 59 ] Under certain circumstances adenosine stimulates bone destruction and in other situations it promotes bone formation, depending on the purinergic receptor that is ...

  4. Cascade effect (ecology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_effect_(ecology)

    An ecological cascade effect is a series of secondary extinctions that are triggered by the primary extinction of a key species in an ecosystem.Secondary extinctions are likely to occur when the threatened species are: dependent on a few specific food sources, mutualistic (dependent on the key species in some way), or forced to coexist with an invasive species that is introduced to the ecosystem.

  5. Kessler syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

    A 1 kg object impacting at 10 km/s, for example, is probably capable of catastrophically breaking up a 1,000 kg spacecraft if it strikes a high-density element in the spacecraft. In such a breakup, numerous fragments larger than 1 kg would be created. [16] Kessler's analysis divided the problem into three parts.

  6. Trophic cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trophic_cascade

    For example, it can be important for understanding the knock-on effects of removing top predators from food webs, as humans have done in many places through hunting and fishing. A top-down cascade is a trophic cascade where the top consumer/predator controls the primary consumer population. In turn, the primary producer population thrives.

  7. Cascade reaction - Wikipedia

    The formal intramolecular [4+2] cycloaddition of 1,6-enynes of the type 67 mediated by gold catalysis is another example of a transition-metal-catalyzed cascade (Scheme 14). [ 25 ] [ 26 ] A variety of 1,6-enynes reacted under mild conditions in the presence of Au(I) complexes 68a – b to yield the tricyclic products 69 in moderate to excellent ...

  9. Ischemic cascade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_cascade

    The ischemic (ischaemic) cascade is a series of biochemical reactions that are initiated in the brain and other aerobic tissues after seconds to minutes of ischemia (inadequate blood supply). [1] This is typically secondary to stroke , injury, or cardiac arrest due to heart attack .
