Conductor Facts: Lay Direction and Length Lay Length. Lay length is defined as the distance required to complete one revolution of the strand around the diameter of the conductor. When a conductor has more than one layer, it usually refers to the lay length of the outer layer. In the case of Unilay, Equilay and bunch, the lay length of all layers is equal. In True Concentric and Unidirectional, the lay lengths of the inner layers are less, this also holds true for rope constructions.

- Biology Dictionary. Definition: The strand of DNA which is used during transcription to make mRNA. The mRNA made thus has the sequence of the antisense strand of DNA, and it codes for a sense strand of polypeptide (which eventually becomes a protein or part of a protein) during translation.

DNA replication The lagging strand is the strand of nascent DNA whose direction of synthesis is opposite to the direction of the growing replication fork. Because of its orientation, replication of the lagging strand is more complicated as compared to that of the leading strand.

DNA replication DNA strands have a directionality, and the different ends of a single strand are called the 3' (three-prime) end and the 5' (five-prime) end. By convention, if the base sequence of a single strand of DNA is given, the left end of the sequence is the 5' end, while the right end of the sequence is the 3' end.s DNA synthesis continues, the original DNA strands continue to unwind on each side of the bubble, forming a replication fork with two prongs. In bacteria, which have a single origin of replication on their circular chromosome, this process creates a  theta structure  (resembling the Greek letter theta: θ).

knot Word History: In nautical usage, knot is a unit of speed, not of distance, and has a built-in meaning of per hour. A ship is said to travel at ten knots (and not ten knots per hour). Although the knot is defined as one nautical mile per hour, the similarity in sound between knot and nautical mile is entirely coincidental. The unit called the knot originated in a

What does soft tissue stranding in a CT report indicate? Stranding means edema in subcutaneous tissue. Soft tissue stranding is seen in CT findings due to edema(swelling due to fluid) and it is generally seen in infective changes. Infection causes surrounding swelling due to leakage of fluid. It is a common finding and it will resolve with control of infection. You are rightly prescribed antibiotics.

Definitions &Translations A helix (pl: helixes or helices) is a type of smooth space curve, i.e. a curve in three-dimensional space. It has the property that the tangent line at any point makes a constant angle with a fixed line called the axis. Examples of helices are coil springs and the handrails of spiral staircases.

Particle Board vs Oriented Strand Board: How Are They Different? Oriented strand board (OSB) Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered wood product formed by rectangular wood strands (flakes) arranged in cross-oriented layers with the help of waterproof adhesives. The result is a structural engineered wood panel similar to plywood in strength and performance, but more uniform and less expensive.

- A DNA strand is simply a string of nucleotides joined together. I can show how this happens perfectly well by going back to a simpler diagram and not worrying about the structure of the bases. The phosphate group on one nucleotide links to the 3' carbon atom on the sugar of another one. In the process, a molecule of water is lost-another condensation reaction. . . . and you can continue to add more nucleotides in the same way to build up the DNA chain.
