functional characteristics
1Functional specialization (brain) — This article is about specialization of function among regions of the brain generally. For the particular topic of left right brain specialization, see Lateralization of brain function. Functional specialization suggests that different areas in… …
2Functional food — is a food where a new ingredient(s) (or more of an existing ingredient) has been added to a food and the new product has a new function (often one related to health promotion or disease prevention).[1] The general category of functional foods… …
3Functional decomposition — refers broadly to the process of resolving a functional relationship into its constituent parts in such a way that the original function can be reconstructed (i.e., recomposed) from those parts by function composition. In general, this process of …
4Functional illiteracy — refers to the inability of an individual to use reading, writing, and computational skills efficiently in everyday life situations. Illiteracy is the inability to read or write simple sentences in any language.CharacteristicsWhen illiterate, one… …
5Functional imaging — (or functional medical imaging), is a method of detecting or measuring changes in metabolism, blood flow, regional chemical composition, and absorption.As opposed to structural imaging, functional imaging centers on revealing physiological… …
6Functional polymers — are polymers with advanced optic and/or electronic properties.Advantages of functional polymers are low cost, ease of processing and a range of attractive mechanical characteristics for functional organic molecules. One can adjust properties… …
7Functional verification — Functional verification, in electronic design automation, is the task of verifying that the logic design conforms to specification. In everyday terms, functional verification attempts to answer the question Does this proposed design do what is… …
8Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records — or FRBR, sometimes pronounced (IPA pronunciation: IPA| [fɝbɚ] ) is a conceptual entity relationship model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in …
9Functional ecology — is the branch of ecology that focuses on the roles, or functions, that species play in the community or ecosystem in which they occur. In this approach, physiological, anatomical, and life history characteristics of the species are emphasized.… …
10Functional selectivity — Not to be confused with binding selectivity. Functional selectivity (or “agonist trafficking”, “biased agonism”, “differential engagement” and “protean agonism”) is the ligand dependent selectivity for certain signal transduction pathways in one… …
