  2. Vocative case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocative_case

    The principal marker is the vocative particle a, which causes lenition of the following initial letter. In the singular there is no special form, except for first declension nouns. These are masculine nouns that end in a broad (non-palatal) consonant, which is made slender (palatal) to build the singular vocative (as well as the singular ...

  3. Irish declension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_declension

    The vocative is used in direct address, and is always preceded by the particle a, which triggers lenition (the vocative particle is not pronounced before a vowel sound). The first declension is the only declension in which the vocative is distinct from the nominative. Cá bhfuil tú, a mhic? "Where are you, son?" A Sheáin, tar anseo! "Seán ...

  4. Flocculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flocculation

    The most common used coagulant is alum, Al 2 (SO 4) 3 ·14H 2 O. The chemical reaction involved: Al 2 (SO 4) 3 · 14 H 2 O → 2 Al(OH) 3 (s) + 6 H + + 3 SO 2− 4 + 8 H 2 O. During flocculation, gentle mixing accelerates the rate of particle collision, and the destabilized particles are further aggregated and enmeshed into larger precipitates.

  5. Signal recognition particle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_recognition_particle

    The signal recognition particle (SRP) is an abundant, cytosolic, universally conserved ribonucleoprotein (protein-RNA complex) that recognizes and targets specific proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum in eukaryotes and the plasma membrane in prokaryotes.

  6. Phosphorus-32 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus-32

    Dense shielding, such as lead, is less effective due to the high-energy bremsstrahlung produced by the interaction of the beta particle and the shielding. Because the beta radiation from phosphorus-32 is blocked by around 1 m of air, it is also advisable to wear dosimeters on the parts of the body, for example the fingers , which come into ...

  7. Gene transfer agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_transfer_agent

    Many bacterial genomes contain one or more defective prophages that have undergone more-or less-extensive mutation and deletion. Gene transfer agents, like defective prophages, arise by mutation of prophages, but they retain functional genes for the head and tail components of the phage particle (structural genes) and the genes for DNA packaging.

  8. Nucleosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleosome

    Nucleosome core particles are observed when chromatin in interphase is treated to cause the chromatin to unfold partially. The resulting image, via an electron microscope, is "beads on a string". The string is the DNA, while each bead in the nucleosome is a core particle. The nucleosome core particle is composed of DNA and histone proteins. [29]

  9. Non-cellular life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-cellular_life

    Non-cellular life, also known as acellular life, is life that exists without a cellular structure for at least part of its life cycle. [1] Historically, most definitions of life postulated that an organism must be composed of one or more cells, [2] but, for some, this is no longer considered necessary, and modern criteria allow for forms of life based on other structural arrangements.
