Procedural knowledgeProcedural knowledge (also known as knowing-how, and sometimes referred to as practical knowledge, imperative knowledge, or performative knowledge) is the knowledge exercised in the performance of some task. Unlike descriptive knowledge (also known as declarative knowledge, propositional knowledge or "knowing-that"), which involves knowledge of specific facts or propositions (e.g. "I know that snow is white"), procedural knowledge involves one's ability to do something (e.g. "I know how to change a flat tire").
Quasi-experimentA quasi-experiment is an empirical interventional study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on target population without random assignment. Quasi-experimental research shares similarities with the traditional experimental design or randomized controlled trial, but it specifically lacks the element of random assignment to treatment or control. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow the researcher to control the assignment to the treatment condition, but using some criterion other than random assignment (e.
Isopentényl-pyrophosphateL’isopentényl-pyrophosphate (IPP) est un composé chimique de formule CH2=C(CH3)–CH2–CH2–O–POO−–O–PO(O−)2. C'est un intermédiaire de la voie du mévalonate, une voie métabolique de biosynthèse du diméthylallyl-pyrophosphate et de l'isopentényl-pyrophosphate, précurseurs notamment des terpènes, terpénoïdes et stéroïdes. Il est formé à partir d'acétyl-CoA et d'acide mévalonique. Il peut ensuite être isomérisé en diméthylallyl-pyrophosphate par l'isopentényle diphosphate delta-isomérase. upright=1.
Caretaker geneCaretaker genes encode products that stabilize the genome. Fundamentally, mutations in caretaker genes lead to genomic instability. Tumor cells arise from two distinct classes of genomic instability: mutational instability arising from changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA and chromosomal instability arising from improper rearrangement of chromosomes. Changes in the genome that allow uncontrolled cell proliferation or cell immortality are responsible for cancer.
CoccidieCoccidia (Coccidiasina) are a subclass of microscopic, spore-forming, single-celled obligate intracellular parasites belonging to the apicomplexan class Conoidasida. As obligate intracellular parasites, they must live and reproduce within an animal cell. Coccidian parasites infect the intestinal tracts of animals, and are the largest group of apicomplexan protozoa. Infection with these parasites is known as coccidiosis. Coccidia can infect all mammals, some birds, some fish, some reptiles, and some amphibians.
