| data collection | Systematic gathering of data for a particular purpose from various sources, including questionnaires, interviews, observation, existing records, and electronic devices. The process is usually preliminary to statistical analysis of the data. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| data display | The visual display of data in a man-machine system. An example is a cathode ray tube display in which certain data can be called for from the computer and presented on the screen. (12 Dec 1998) |
| data interpretation, statistical | Application of statistical procedures to analyze specific observed or assumed facts from a particular study. (12 Dec 1998) |
| objective assessment data | Those facts presented by the client that show his/her perception, understanding and interpretation of what is happening. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antigen processing | Modification of an antigen by accessory cells. This usually involves endocytosis of the antigen and either minimal cleavage or unfolding. The processed antigen is then presented in modified form by the accessory cell. (18 Nov 1997) |
| batch processing | <technique> Growth in a closed system with a specific amount of nutrient medium. In bioprocessing, defined amounts of nutrient material and living matter are placed in a bioreactor and removed when the process is completed. (14 Nov 1997) |
| calcium-independent processing protease | <enzyme> Converts hiv-1 gp160 precursor to gp120 and gp41 Registry number: EC 3.4.- Synonym: viral envelope glycoprotein maturase, vem enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| matrix processing peptidase | <enzyme> From matrix fraction of rat liver mitochondria; cleaves mitochondrial protein precursors; inhibited by metal chelators and reactived by mn2+; classified as EC 3.4.24.64 Registry number: EC 3.4.24.- Synonym: mitochondrial processing peptidase, mitochondrial processing protease, alpha-mpp, beta-mpp, p-52 protein, rat, p-55 protein, rat, mas1 protein, yeast, mas2 protein, yeast (26 Jun 1999) |
| gp160 processing protease | <enzyme> Converts hiv gp160 to gp120 and gp41, cleaving between arg511 and ala512 Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| RNA processing | <molecular biology> Modifications of primary RNA trancripts including splicing, cleavage, base modification, capping and the addition of poly A tails. See: RNA editing. (23 Aug 1998) |
| RNA processing, post-transcriptional | Post-transcriptional biological modification of messenger, transfer, or ribosomal rnas or their precursors. It includes cleavage, methylation, thiolation, isopentenylation, pseudouridine formation, conformational changes, and association with ribosomal protein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| photosystem II D1 polypeptide carboxy-terminal processing protease | <enzyme> From thylakoids; not inhibited by common protease inhibitors Registry number: EC 3.4.99.- Synonym: d1 carboxy-terminal processing protease, d1 c-terminal protease, ctpa gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| word processing | Automated production of typewritten documents with text editing and storage functions using computer software. (12 Dec 1998) |
| continuous processing | A method of bioprocessing in which new materials are added and products removed continuously at a rate that maintains the volume at a specific level. (14 Nov 1997) |
| post-transcriptional processing | The enzymatic processing of the primary RNA transcript, which producesmessenger RNA and transfer RNA. (09 Oct 1997) |
