In electronics, a diode is a two-terminal electronic component with asymmetric transfer characteristic, with low ( ideally zero ) resistance to current flow in one direction, and high ( ideally infinite ) resistance in the other.

* Single-ended output stages ( be they tube or transistor ) have an asymmetrical transfer function, meaning that even order harmonics in the created distortion tend not to be canceled ( as they are in push – pull output stages ); by using tubes OR FETs most of the distortion is from the square law transfer characteristic and so second-order, which some consider to be " warmer " and more pleasant.

The presence of this adaptation in three distinct evolutionary lineages suggests convergent evolution of this strategy, it being unlikely to be an ancient characteristic retained in only scattered groups or through massive lateral gene transfer.

The obtained channel transfer characteristic has a typical appearance of a sequence of peaks and valleys ( also called notches ); it can be shown that, on average, the distance ( in Hz ) between two consecutive valleys ( or two consecutive peaks ), is roughly inversely proportional to the multipath time.

A controlled cable characteristic impedance is important because the source and load impedance should be matched to ensure maximum power transfer and minimum Standing Wave Ratio.

In most scientific and technological, as distinct from mathematical, applications, something may be described as linear if the characteristic is approximately but not exactly a straight line ; and linearity may be valid only within a certain operating region — for example, a high-fidelity amplifier may distort even a small signal, but sufficiently little to be acceptable ( acceptable but imperfect linearity ); and may distort very badly if the input exceeds a certain value, taking it away from the approximately linear part of the transfer function.

** Integral nonlinearity ( INL ) shows how much the DAC transfer characteristic deviates from an ideal one.

The auditory store, echoic memory, for example, has been shown to have a temporal characteristic in which the timing and tempo of a presented stimulus affects transfer into more stable forms of memory.

However, the average access time can never be lower than a half rotation of the platters, and platter rotation ( measured in rpm ) is the speed characteristic of HDDs which has experienced the slowest growth over the decades ( compared to data transfer rate and seek time ), so minimizing the number of seeks remains beneficial in most storage-heavy applications.

Each galvanic cell has its own characteristic voltage ( defined as the energy release per electron transfer from one electrode to the other ).

The transfer characteristic is shown in the picture on the right.

Thus the closed-loop poles ( roots of the characteristic equation ) of the transfer function are the solutions to the equation 1 + KC ( s ) P ( s )

Work of this group through the 1970s dealt with the relation between electron transfer and other condensed phase electronic processes such as light absorption, emphasizing processes involving three rather than two electronic levels, with low-temperature processes and with particular features characteristic of biological processes.

In microbiology, the oxidase test is used as a phenotypic characteristic for the identification of bacterial strains ; it determines whether a given bacterium produces cytochrome oxidases ( and therefore utilizes oxygen with an electron transfer chain ).

If ( lateral ) load transfer reaches the tire loading on one end of a vehicle, the inside wheel on that end will lift, causing a change in handling characteristic.

This compound forms polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon analogues containing boron and nitrogen atoms, which show characteristic optical and electrochemical properties due to the charge transfer between the boron and nitrogen atoms.

Terpyridine complexes, like other polypyridine complexes, exhibit characteristic optical and electrochemical properties: metal-to-ligand charge transfer ( MLCT ) in the visible region, reversible reduction and oxidation, and fairly intense luminescence.

Subsequent work has investigated whether dynamic inefficiency is a characteristic in some economies and whether government programs to transfer wealth from young to poor do reduce dynamic inefficiency.

If is formed by closing a negative unity feedback loop around the open-loop transfer function, then the roots of the characteristic equation are also the zeros of, or simply the roots of.

In characteristic manner, intercalation is analyzed by X-ray diffraction, since the spacing between sheets increases, and by electrical conductivity, since charge transfer alters the number of charge carriers.

As practiced, inverse-filtering is usually limited to non-nasalized or slightly nasalized vowels, and the recorded waveform is passed through an “ inverse-filter ” having a transfer characteristic that is the inverse of the transfer characteristic of the supraglottal vocal tract configuration at that moment.

The 68000 has a 16-bit external data bus so must transfer 32 bits of data in two consecutive steps, a technique called multiplexing: all this is transparent to the software, which was 32-bit from the beginning.

She has demonstrated that transfer of these antibodies across the placenta from the pregnant woman to the fetus in utero can cause developmental abnormalities.

Carbon fibre has an excellent strength to weight ratio, is stiff, and gives excellent kinetic energy transfer.

Conjugation has advantages over other forms of genetic transfer including minimal disruption of the target's cellular envelope and the ability to transfer relatively large amounts of genetic material ( see the above discussion of E. coli chromosome transfer ).

This continuous-time filter has a transfer function

Brooks's institute has charged varying fees to prospective clients who wished to learn how to live without food, which have ranged from US $ 100, 000 with an initial deposit of $ 10, 000 to one billion dollars, to be paid via bank wire transfer with a preliminary deposit of $ 100, 000, for a session called " Immortality workshop ".

The theory asserts that all currently living organisms on Earth share a common genetic heritage with each being the descendant from a single original species, though the suggestion of substantial horizontal gene transfer during early evolution has led to questions about monophyly of life.

Technology transfer has allowed Chile to build its global competitiveness and innovation and has led to the expansion of production as well as to an increase in average firm size in the industry.

If a simply stable system response neither decays nor grows over time, and has no oscillations, it is marginally stable: in this case the system transfer function has non-repeated poles at complex plane origin ( i. e. their real and complex component is zero in the continuous time case ).

She was created using the technique of somatic cell nuclear transfer, where the cell nucleus from an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilised oocyte ( developing egg cell ) that has had its nucleus removed.

Since classical analog filters are IIR filters, there has been a long history of studying the range of possible transfer functions implementing various of the above desired filter responses in continuous time systems.

This laserdisc transfer has been the basis for all home video editions of the uncut Japanese version since 1991.

The result of the transfer of Togoland to Ghana has meant that many Togolese keep one foot on either side of the border, living in Ghana by night and working in the markets of the capital, Lomé, by day.

The 2012 Tuareg rebellion has left Northern Mali without official money transfer service for months.

The 9 / 11 Commission Report has since confirmed that the bulk of the funds used to finance the assault were not sent through the hawala system, but rather by an official inter-bank wire transfer to a SunTrust Bank in Florida, where two of the conspirators had opened a personal account.

In support of this hypothesis, genomic imprinting has been found in all placental mammals, where post-fertilisation offspring resource consumption at the expense of the mother is high ; although it has also been found in oviparous birds where there is relatively little post-fertilisation resource transfer and therefore less parental conflict.

The Economist has suggested that improvements to bankruptcy law, land transfer law, and tax laws will aid Japan's economy.

A Yom Tov has similar obligations and restrictions to Shabbat, with the exception that one can cook, carry, and transfer fire ( from a pre-existing flame ).

This has been aggravated by the transfer of the best students from the other colleges after their graduation especially in the field of Arts to Jadavpur University for their post-graduation.

In response to this problem, some LED lighting systems have been designed with an added heating circuit at the expense of reduced overall electrical efficiency of the system ; additionally, research has been done to develop heat sink technologies that will transfer heat produced within the junction to appropriate areas of the luminaire.
