  2. Bacterial growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_growth

    During the lag phase of the bacterial growth cycle, the synthesis of RNA, enzymes and other molecules occurs. During the lag phase cells change very little because the cells do not immediately reproduce in a new medium. This period of little to no cell division is called the lag phase and can last for 1 hour to several days.

  3. Lagging (epidemiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagging_(epidemiology)

    For example, when studying risk factors of cancer, the cancer process may have been triggered long before actual diagnosis of cancer, and that therefore any exposure to risk factors in the lag time between may be unimportant. [citation needed]

  4. Incubation period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period

    The time required for development in the mosquito ranges from 10 to 28 days, depending on the parasite species and the temperature. This is the extrinsic incubation period of that parasite. If a female mosquito does not survive longer than the extrinsic incubation period, then she will not be able to transmit any malaria parasites.

  5. Delayed density dependence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_density_dependence

    The delay is introduced because of the time it takes for enough susceptible individuals to be present for the disease to spread again. [7] The delay to sexual maturity introduces delayed density dependence in many instances. In this case there is density dependent inhibition applied to organisms when they are sexually immature. [8]

  6. Lag (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lag_(video_games)

    Ping time is an average time measured in milliseconds (ms). [ citation needed ] The lower one's ping is, the lower the latency is and the less lag the player will experience. High ping and low ping are commonly used terms in online gaming, where high ping refers to a ping that causes a severe amount of lag; while any level of ping may cause lag ...

  7. Group delay and phase delay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_delay_and_phase_delay

    The group delay and phase delay properties of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system are functions of frequency, giving the time from when a frequency component of a time varying physical quantity—for example a voltage signal—appears at the LTI system input, to the time when a copy of that same frequency component—perhaps of a different physical phenomenon—appears at the LTI system output.

  8. Zeitgeber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeitgeber

    A zeitgeber (/ ˈ (t) s aɪ t ɡ eɪ b ər, ˈ z aɪ t-/ (T)SYTE-gay-bər, ZYTE-, German: [ˈtsaɪtˌɡeːbɐ]) is any external or environmental cue that entrains or synchronizes an organism's biological rhythms, usually naturally occurring and serving to entrain to the Earth's 24-hour light/dark and 12-month cycles.

  9. Leading and lagging current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leading_and_Lagging_Current

    Angle notation can easily describe leading and lagging current: . [1] In this equation, the value of theta is the important factor for leading and lagging current. As mentioned in the introduction above, leading or lagging current represents a time shift between the current and voltage sine curves, which is represented by the angle by which the curve is ahead or behind of where it would be ...
