The term C-value refers to the amount of DNA contained within a haploid nucleus ( e. g. a gamete ) or one half the amount in a diploid somatic cell of a eukaryotic organism, expressed in picograms.

However, although there is no longer any paradoxical aspect to the discrepancy between C-value and gene number, this term remains in common usage.

In diploid organisms, genome size is used interchangeably with the term C-value.

The term C-value reflects this observed constancy.

Given that C-values were assumed to be constant because DNA is the stuff of genes, and yet bore no relationship to presumed gene number, this was understandably considered paradoxical ; the term " C-value paradox " was used to describe this situation by C. A.

Some prefer the term C-value enigma because it explicitly includes all of the questions that will need to be answered if a complete understanding of genome size evolution is to be achieved ( Gregory 2005 ).

For these reasons, in 2003 the term " C-value enigma " was endorsed in preference to " C-value paradox " at the Second Plant Genome Size Discussion Meeting and Workshop at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK,

More broadly the term is used in a wide number of contexts for an image, picture, or representation ; it is a sign or likeness that stands for an object by signifying or representing it either concretely or by analogy, as in semiotics ; by extension, icon is also used, particularly in modern culture, in the general sense of symbol — i. e. a name, face, picture, edifice or even a person readily recognized as having some well-known significance or embodying certain qualities: one thing, an image or depiction, that represents something else of greater significance through literal or figurative meaning, usually associated with religious, cultural, political, or economic standing.

The first term in the right-hand side represents the net electromagnetic energy flow into a small volume, while the second term represents the subtracted portion of the work done by free electrical currents that are not necessarily converted into electromagnetic energy ( dissipation, heat ).

The first term in the Hamiltonian represents the possible kinetic energy states of the particle, and the second term represents its respectively corresponding possible potential energy states.

The mutualistic interaction term represents the increase in population growth of species one as a result of the presence of greater numbers of species two, and vice versa.

Although the deployment of nuclear weapons from aircraft falls into the category of strategic bombing, and likely represents the ultimate form of both strategic and terror bombing, the term strategic bombing is generally used in reference to the release of non-nuclear air-ground ordnance from strategic aircraft.

Following an uprising by the ethnic Tutsi, sometimes referred to as a whole as Banyamulenge ( although this term only represents people from one area in eastern Zaire — other ethnic Tutsi Kinyarwanda-speaking people include the Banyamasisi and the Banyarutshuru, as an example ) people in eastern Zaire in October 1997, a huge movement of refugees began which brought more than 600, 000 back to Rwanda in the last two weeks of November.

By 1858 the need for an update resulted in the first planning for a new comprehensive dictionary, which would document standard English, a term coined at that time by the planning committee.

In general, the term OTA implies the use of wireless mechanisms to send provisioning data or update packages for firmware or software updates to a mobile device — this is so that the user does not have to go to a store or a service center to have applications provisioned, parameters changed or firmware or software updated.

Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

The term idea refers to our more reflective or thoughtful consciousness as opposed to the immediacies of sensuous or emotional experience.

For the near term, however, it must be realized that the industrial and commercial market is somewhat more sensitive to general business conditions than is the military market, and for this reason I would expect that any gain in 1961 may be somewhat smaller than those of recent years ; ;

As with those who engage other activities such as singing or running, the term may apply broadly to anyone who engages in it even briefly, or be more narrowly limited to those for whom it is a vocation, habit or characteristic practice.

It does not, of course, forbid the use of other names, for example the more archaic term " Unction of the Sick " or the term " Extreme Unction ".

However, the Church declared that "' Extreme unction ' ... may also and more fittingly be called ' anointing of the sick '" ( emphasis added ), and has itself adopted the latter term, while not outlawing the former.

Previously, as related in the first reference cited above, Faraday had used the more straightforward term " eisode " ( the doorway where the current enters ).

In retrospect the name change was unfortunate, not only because the Greek roots alone do not reveal the anode's function any more, but more importantly because, as we now know, the Earth's magnetic field direction on which the " anode " term is based is subject to reversals whereas the current direction convention on which the " eisode " term was based has no reason to change in the future.
