conglomeration Conglomeration is a fancy word for a bunch of stuff brought together. People, companies, ideas, and other things can group together in conglomerations. If you ever want something and you're asked why, you could show off your vocabulary and say, I have a conglomeration of reasons! That means you have a bunch of reasons that may or may not be connected. A huge mob of people could be described as a conglomeration — which sounds nicer than mob. The with should be a reminder that this is a word that brings things or people together.

DEGENERATION • DEGENERATION (noun) The noun DEGENERATION has 3 senses: 1. the process of declining from a higher to a lower level of effective power or vitality or essential quality. 2. the state of being degenerate in mental or moral qualities. 3. passing from a more complex to a simpler biological form.

Transformation (genetics) Transformation is one of three processes by which exogenous genetic material may be introduced into a bacterial cell, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium).n molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA) from its surroundings and taken up through the cell membrane(s).

- In molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material (exogenous DNA) from its surroundings and taken up through the cell membrane(s).acterial transformation may be referred to as a stable genetic change brought about by the uptake of naked DNA (DNA without associated cells or proteins) to increase DNA quantity; competence refers to the state of being able to take up exogenous DNA from the environment.

Cogeneration The supply of high-temperature heat first drives a gas or steam turbine-powered generator and the resulting low-temperature waste heat is then used for water or space heating as described in cogeneration. At smaller scales (typically below 1 MW) a gas engine or diesel engine may be used.

- Degeneration in a joint means the joint surfaces are starting to break down over time. The term degenerative arthritis is used by doctors to describe a condition where a joint wears out, usually over a period of many years. Some medical professionals call the condition osteoarthritis.

Knee Ligament Repair The ligaments in the knee connect the femur (thighbone) to the tibia (shin bone), and include the following: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ligament, located in the center of the knee, that controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia (shin bone).nee ligament repair or reconstruction is a treatment for a complete tear of a knee ligament that results in instability in the knee. People with a torn knee ligament may be unable to do normal activities that involve twisting or turning at the knee.

- Degeneration reduces the disc's normal ability to absorb physical impact and provide cushioning for the vertebral column. Degeneration of a thoracic disc is marked by a gradual narrowing of the disc space, placing stress on the other joints of the vertebrae (facet joints).

Cogeneration The simultaneous production of electrical or mechanical energy (power) and useful thermal energy from the same fuel/energy source such as oil, coal, gas, biomass, or solar panels. Conventionally, heat is emitted through cooling towers or flue gas is lost, but cogeneration makes use of that heat.

- mucoid degeneration. n. The degeneration of connective tissue into a gelatinous or mucoid substance.

Transformation (genetics) In molecular biology, transformation is the genetic alteration of a cell resulting from the direct uptake and incorporation of exogenous genetic material from its surroundings through the cell membrane. For transformation to take place, the recipient bacteria must be in a state of competence, which might occur in nature as a time-limited response to environmental conditions such as starvation and cell density, and may also be induced in a laboratory. Transformation is one of three processes for horizontal gene transfer, in which exogenous genetic material passes from bacterium to another, the other two being conjugation (transfer of genetic material between two bacterial cells in direct contact) and transduction (injection of foreign DNA by a bacteriophage virus into the host bacterium).

degeneration degeneration. deterioration; change from a higher to a lower form, especially change of tissue to a lower or less functionally active form. When there is chemical change of the tissue itself it is true degeneration; when the change consists in the deposit of abnormal matter in the tissues, it is infiltration.apetoretinal degeneration degeneration of the pigmented layer of the retina. transneuronal degeneration atrophy of certain neurons after interruption of afferent axons or death of other neurons to which they send their efferent output.
