  2. In situ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ

    For example, heapsort is an in situ sorting algorithm, which sorts the elements of an array in place. Quicksort is an in situ sorting algorithm, but in the worst case it requires linear space on the call stack (this can be reduced to log space).

  3. In-situ conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-situ_conservation

    In-situ conservation is the on-site conservation or the conservation of genetic resources in natural populations of plant or animal species, such as forest genetic resources in natural populations of tree species. [1] This process protects the inhabitants and ensures the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem.

  4. In situ leach - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_leach

    In-situ leaching (ISL), also called in-situ recovery (ISR) or solution mining, is a mining process used to recover minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into a deposit, in situ. In-situ leach works by artificially dissolving minerals occurring naturally in the solid state.

  5. In situ bioremediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_Bioremediation

    In Situ Bioremediation. Bioremediation is the process of decontaminating polluted sites through the usage of either endogenous or external microorganism. [1] In situ is a term utilized within a variety of fields meaning "on site" and refers to the location of an event. [2]

  6. In situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_hybridization

    In situ hybridization (ISH) is a type of hybridization that uses a labeled complementary DNA, RNA or modified nucleic acid strand (i.e., a probe) to localize a specific DNA or RNA sequence in a portion or section of tissue or if the tissue is small enough (e.g., plant seeds, Drosophila embryos), in the entire tissue (whole mount ISH), in cells ...

  7. In situ polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, in situ polymerization is a preparation method that occurs "in the polymerization mixture" and is used to develop polymer nanocomposites from nanoparticles. There are numerous unstable oligomers ( molecules ) which must be synthesized in situ (i.e. in the reaction mixture but cannot be isolated on their own) for use in ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Other_effective_area-based...

    An OECM is defined by the Convention on Biological Diversity as: [A] geographically defined area other than a Protected Area, which is governed and managed in ways that achieve positive and sustained long-term outcomes for the in situ conservation of biodiversity, with associated ecosystem functions and services and where applicable, cultural, spiritual, socio–economic, and other locally ...

  9. Trace gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_gas

    Some sources of a trace gas are biogenic processes, outgassing from solid Earth, ocean emissions, industrial emissions, and in situ formation. [1] A few examples of biogenic sources include photosynthesis, animal excrements, termites, rice paddies, and wetlands. Volcanoes are the main source for trace gases from solid earth.
