Chemical plantA chemical plant is an industrial process plant that manufactures (or otherwise processes) chemicals, usually on a large scale. The general objective of a chemical plant is to create new material wealth via the chemical or biological transformation and or separation of materials. Chemical plants use specialized equipment, units, and technology in the manufacturing process.
MacromoléculeUne macromolécule (ou molécule polymère) est une très grande molécule, qui possède une masse moléculaire relativement élevée. La notion de macromolécule a été introduite en 1922 par le chimiste allemand Hermann Staudinger. Une macromolécule formée d'unités chimiques similaires assemblées par des liaisons covalentes peut être décrite comme une molécule polymère, un ensemble de telles molécules est un polymère. De nombreuses protéines peuvent également être considérées comme des macromolécules.
Monoclonal antibody therapyMonoclonal antibody therapy is a form of immunotherapy that uses monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to bind monospecifically to certain cells or proteins. The objective is that this treatment will stimulate the patient's immune system to attack those cells. Alternatively, in radioimmunotherapy a radioactive dose localizes a target cell line, delivering lethal chemical doses. Antibodies are used to bind to molecules involved in T-cell regulation to remove inhibitory pathways that block T-cell responses.
Industrie chimiqueL'industrie chimique est le secteur industriel dont l'activité consiste à fabriquer des produits par synthèse chimique contrôlée. Ce secteur regroupe entre autres la pétrochimie, la chimie phytosanitaire, l'industrie pharmaceutique, la fabrication de polymères, de peintures et l'oléochimie. Cette industrie est de type process. L'industrie chimique fabrique à la fois des produits chimiques de base, des produits chimiques intermédiaires et des produits finis.
Cellule bêtaLes cellules bêta (β-cells pour les anglophones) sont l'un des types cellulaires du pancréas, et plus particulièrement des îlots de Langerhans. Chez l'être humain, elles représentent 50 à 70 % des cellules de ces îlots. Ce sont elles qui synthétisent et sécrètent l'insuline et l'amyline. Chez les patients atteints de diabète de type 1, la masse et la fonction de ces cellules diminue, entraînant une sécrétion insuffisante d'insuline et une hyperglycémie.
Target audienceA target audience is the intended audience or readership of a publication, advertisement, or other message catered specifically to said intended audience. In marketing and advertising, it is a particular group of consumer within the predetermined target market, identified as the targets or recipients for a particular advertisement or message. Businesses that have a wide target market will focus on a specific target audience for certain messages to send, such as The Body Shops Mother's Day advertisements, which were aimed at the children and spouses of women, rather than the whole market which would have included the women themselves.
Affinity maturationIn immunology, affinity maturation is the process by which TFH cell-activated B cells produce antibodies with increased affinity for antigen during the course of an immune response. With repeated exposures to the same antigen, a host will produce antibodies of successively greater affinities. A secondary response can elicit antibodies with several fold greater affinity than in a primary response. Affinity maturation primarily occurs on membrane immunoglobulin of germinal center B cells and as a direct result of somatic hypermutation (SHM) and selection by TFH cells.
Cible (marketing)A target market, also known as serviceable obtainable market (SOM), is a group of customers within a business's serviceable available market at which a business aims its marketing efforts and resources. A target market is a subset of the total market for a product or service. The target market typically consists of consumers who exhibit similar characteristics (such as age, location, income or lifestyle) and are considered most likely to buy a business's market offerings or are likely to be the most profitable segments for the business to service by OCHOM Once the target market(s) have been identified, the business will normally tailor the marketing mix (4 Ps) with the needs and expectations of the target in mind.
Marine microorganismsMarine microorganisms are defined by their habitat as microorganisms living in a marine environment, that is, in the saltwater of a sea or ocean or the brackish water of a coastal estuary. A microorganism (or microbe) is any microscopic living organism or virus, that is too small to see with the unaided human eye without magnification. Microorganisms are very diverse. They can be single-celled or multicellular and include bacteria, archaea, viruses and most protozoa, as well as some fungi, algae, and animals, such as rotifers and copepods.
Électrophorèse sur gelalt=Appareil à électrophorèse sur gel d'agarose|vignette|Appareil pour électrophorèse d'ADN en gel d'agarose. Le gel est horizontal baigne dans le tampon qui remplit la cuve. L'ADN est déposé dans des puits à une extrémité du gel. L'alimentation en arrière-plan fournit la tension électrique continue qui permet la migration des fragments d'ADN dans le gel. L'électrophorèse sur gel est une variante de l'électrophorèse de zones.
