| transformation efficiency | The number of bacterial cells that uptake and express plasmid DNA divided by the mass of plasmid used (in transformants/microgram). (09 Oct 1997) |

| carnot efficiency | <radiobiology> Maximum possible efficiency for conversion of thermal energy to useful work (such as electrical energy), as determined by the laws of thermodynamics. The Carnot efficiency (eta) for conversion of thermal to electric energy (for example, the upper limit on efficiency of a steam turbine) is given by (eta) = [ (T-hot) - (T-cold) ] / (T-hot). That is, one gets the efficiency from the values of the input and output temperatures (measured in Kelvin). (09 Oct 1997) |

| visual efficiency | A rating used in computing compensation for industrial ocular injuries, incorporating measurements of central acuity, visual field, and ocular motility. (05 Mar 2000) |
| combustion efficiency | Actual heat produced by combustion divided by the total heat potential of the fuel consumed (17 Dec 1998) |
| heat transfer efficiency | Useful heat output released to the room divided by the actual heat produced in the firebox (17 Dec 1998) |
| quantum efficiency | The number of photons required for the formation of one oxygen molecule in photosynthesis. Varies from 8-14 depending on the system used to measure it. (18 Nov 1997) |
| thermal efficiency | <radiobiology> Ratio of the electric power produced by a power plant to the original amount of heat produced. This measures the efficiency with which the thermal energy is converted to electricity. (09 Oct 1997) |
| efficiency | 1. The quality of being efficient or producing an effect or effects; efficient power; effectual agency. "The manner of this divine efficiency being far above us." (Hooker) 2. <mechanics> The ratio of useful work to energy expended. Efficiency of a heat engine, the ratio of the work done an engine, to the work due to the heat supplied to it. Origin: L. Efficientia. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| efficiency, organizational | The capacity of an organization, institution, or business to produce desired results with a minimum expenditure of energy, time, money, personnel, materiel, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abiotic transformation | <biochemistry> An abiotic transformation is any process in which a chemical in the environment is altered by non-biological mechanisms (such as by exposure to sunlight). (09 Oct 1997) |
| bacterial transformation | <microbiology> A genetics lab procedure where bacteria are induced to accept and incorporate into their genome foreign pieces of cell-less, isolated DNA, often in the form of a plasmid. The DNA to be introduced usually contains a selectable marker so that the bacteria which successfully incorporate the DNA can be selected for. (09 Oct 1997) |
| blast transformation | <haematology> The morphological and biochemical changes in lymphocytes, both B and T, on exposure to antigen or to a mitogen. The cells appear to move from G0 to G1 stage of the cell cycle. They usually enlarge and proceed to S phase and mitosis later. The process probably involves receptor cross linking on the plasma membrane. (18 Nov 1997) |
| genetic transformation | <molecular biology> Genetic change brought about by the introduction of exogenous DNA into a cell. See: transformation, germ line transformation, transfection. (18 Nov 1997) |
| germ line transformation | Micro injection of foreign DNA into an early embryo, so that it becomes incorporated into the germ line of the individual and thus stably inherited in subsequent generations of transgenic organisms. Typically, the DNA would be a reporter gene or cDNA in a vector such as a transposon, that might also carry a visible marker gene such as eye or coat colour), so that successful transformation could readily be detected. (18 Nov 1997) |
| viral transformation | <oncology, virology> Malignant transformation of an animal cell in culture, induced by a virus. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cell transformation | Morphological and physiological changes resulting from infection of an animal cell by an oncogenic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
