Neutral mutation In genetics, a neutral mutation is a mutation that occurs in an amino acid codon (presumably within an mRNA molecule) which results in the use of a different, but chemically similar, amino acid. This is similar to a silent mutation, where a codon mutation may encode the same amino acid (see Wobble Hypothesis); for example, a change from AUU to AUC will still encode leucine, so no discernable change occurs (a silent mutation).
Neutral Nation The Neutrals were a tribe of American Indians who lived in what is now upstate New York and southern Ontario. Their own name for themselves has been lost, but they were called Attawandaron by the Hurons, meaning "people of a slightly different language".
Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission The Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC) was established by the [Armistice Agreement|Armistice Agreement] (AA) signed July 27, 1953 and is thus with the Military Armistice Commission (MAC) part of the mechanism regulating the relations between the parties in the Korean conflict. According to the wording of the agreement, the NNSC shall be composed of four senior officers, two of whom shall be appointed by neutral nations nominated by the United Nations Command (UNC) namely Sweden and Switzerland and two of whom shall be appointed by neutral nations nominated jointly by the Korean People's Army(KPA) and the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV), namely Poland and Czechoslovakia.
Neutral particle oscillations In particle physics, neutral particle oscillation is the transmutation of a neutral particle with nonzero internal quantum numbers into its antiparticle. These oscillations and the associated mixing of particles gives insight into the realization of discrete parts of the Poincare group, ie, parity (P), charge conjugation (C) and time reversal invariance (T).
Neutral stimulus Neutral stimulus: a stimulus which initially produces no specific response other than provoking attention. When used together with an unconditioned stimulus, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus.
Neutral Strip (Oklahoma) The Neutral Strip refers to the land that became what is now the Panhandle of Oklahoma in the United States. The strip was never officially named but appeared on various maps as Neutral Strip, Neutral Land, Public Land Strip, or Public Land; it was also known as No Man's Land.
Neutral territory A Neutral territory is a territory (not a sovereign state) that is not an integral part of any state (neither independent, nor dependent on a single state, nor colonized or under protectorate, nor a concession), nor under joint rule (unlike a condominium), and yet is not terra nullius, but is the object of an agreement under international law between at least two parties (usually bordering states and/or their colonisators etcetera) that neither shall establish, at least for the duration of the agreement's validity, effective control over it.
Neutral theory of molecular evolution The neutral theory of molecular evolution (also, simply the neutral theory of evolution) is an influential theory that was introduced with provocative effect by Motoo Kimura in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Although the theory was received by some as an argument against Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, Kimura and most evolutionary biologists today maintain that the two theories are compatible: "The theory does not deny the role of natural selection in determining the course of adaptive evolution" (Kimura, 1986).
Neutral Wire A neutral wire is one of the “live” wires in electrical systems, the insulation of the neutral wire is coloured white or grey in the USA, or blue in the UK and rest of EU. It is most often connected to earth at the Service Panel in the USA.
Neutral zone (control theory) When a controller operates in discontinuous mode around a setpoint (for example turning an airconditioner on above a certain room temperature and turning it off below that temperature) there can be frequent undesirable oscillations between on and off (sometimes referred to as 'chatter') when the variable is close to the setpoint. To solve this problem a neutral zone can be implemented between two set points (high and low) with the controller taking no action as long as the temperature is in the neutral zone.
Neutral zone (Star Trek) In the fictional Star Trek universe, a neutral zone is a sort of "buffer zone" between the territories of two different powers. If either party enters a neutral zone it is an aggressive move and is usually considered an act of war.
Neutral zone trap The neutral zone trap is a defensive ice hockey strategy used by a team to prevent an opposing team from proceeding through the neutral zone (the area between both blue lines) by forcing turnovers in that area. The strategy is generally used to level the playing field for teams that are not as offensively talented as their opponent, though the trap can also be used by teams simply looking to protect a lead late in the game.
Neutralism Neutralism describes the relationship (or lack thereof) between two species which do not interact with or affect each other. It is used in ecology to describe biological interactions when the population density of one species has absolutely no effect whatsoever on the other.
Neutrality Acts The Neutrality Acts were a series of laws passed in the United States in the 1930s, in response to the growing turmoil in Europe and Asia that was to lead to World War II. They were spurred by the growth in isolationism in the US following its costly involvement in World War I, and sought to ensure that the US would not become entangled again in foreign conflicts.
Neutrality of money In economics, neutrality of money occurs whenever a change in the stock of money affects only nominal variables in the economy such as prices, wages and exchange rates. It is an important idea in classical economics and is related to the classical dichotomy.
Neutrik The Neutrik Group has been a manufacturer of connectors for more than 30 years. The product range includes XLR-type connectors, plugs, jacks, Speakon, PowerCon, patch bays, BNC style connectors and special connectors for industrial applications.
Neutrino astronomy Neutrino astronomy is the science of observing astronomical phenomena by detecting neutrinos, a product of weak thermonuclear reactions going on inside every star. It is still very much in its infancy - the only confirmed extra-terrestrial sources detected so far are the sun and supernova SN1987A.
Neutrino Factory The Neutrino Factory is a proposed particle accelerator complex intended to measure in detail the properties of neutrinos, extremely weakly-interacting fundamental particles that can travel in straight lines through normal matter for thousands of kilometres without interacting. Up until the 1990s, neutrinos were assumed to be massless, but inconsistent experimental results from searches for solar neutrinos (those produced in the Sun's core) and others, indicated that they did in fact have masses, just very small ones.
Neutrino oscillation Neutrino oscillation is a quantum mechanical phenomenon predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo whereby a neutrino created with a specific lepton flavor (electron, muon or tau) can later be measured to have a different flavor. The probability of measuring a particular flavor for a neutrino varies periodically as it propagates.
Neutrodyne The Neutrodyne was a particular type of Tuned Radio Frequency (TRF) radio receiver, in which the instability-causing inter-electrode capacitance of the triode RF tubes is cancelled out or "neutralized". In most designs, a small extra winding on each of the RF amplifiers' tuned anode coils was used to generate a small antiphase signal, which could be adjusted by special variable trim capacitors to cancel out the stray signal coupled to the grid via plate-to-grid capacitance.
Neutrogena spokesmodels The Neutrogena skin care products company is well-known for its commercials, both in print and on television, that feature various spokesmodels. These spokespeople are usually talented and beautiful young women in the field of entertainment.
Neutron (DC Comics) Neutron is a fictional comic book supervillain in the DC Comics universe, appearing usually as an adversary of Superman. He was created by Marv Wolfman and Joe Staton, and first appeared in Action Comics #525 (November 1981).
Neutron absorber Neutron absorbers are isotopes of certain elements that absorb free neutrons creating heavier isotopes of the same element. The most prolific neutron absorbers are elements that become stable by absorbing a neutron such as xenon-133 (Xe-133), which absorbs a neutron to become Xe-134.
Neutron activation Neutron activation is the process in which neutron radiation induces radioactivity in materials, and occurs when nuclei capture free neutrons, becoming heavier and entering excited states. Frequently, the excited nucleus can decay by emitting particles (neutrons, protons, alphas, etc.
Neutron bomb A neutron bomb is a type of tactical nuclear weapon developed specifically to release a relatively large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation. The neutron radiation inflicts harm on biological tissues and electronic devices without causing nuclear fallout.
Neutron depth profiling Neutron depth profiling (NDP) is a near-surface analysis technique that is commonly used to obtain profiles of concentration as a function of depth for certain technologically important light elements in nearly any substrate. The technique was first proposed by Ziegler et al [1] to determine the concentration profiles of boron impurities in silicon substrates, and later improved by Biersack and coworkers to much of its existing capabilities.
Neutron diffraction Neutron diffraction is a crystallographic method for the determination of the atomic structure of a material. The technique is similar to X-ray diffraction but the different type of radiation gives complementary information.
Neutron emission Neutron emission is a type of radioactive decay in which an atom contains excess neutrons and a neutron is simply ejected from the nucleus. Two examples of isotopes which emit neutrons are helium-5 and beryllium-13.
Neutron generator Neutron generators are neutron source devices which contain compact linear accelerators and that produce neutrons by fusing isotopes of hydrogen together. The fusion reactions take place in these devices by accelerating either deuterium, tritium, or a mixture of these two isotopes into a metal hydride target which also contains either deuterium, tritium or a mixture.
Neutron radiation Neutron radiation consists of free neutrons. Neutrons may be emitted during nuclear fission (either spontaneous or triggered), nuclear fusion, very high energy reactions such as in a Spallation Neutron Source, or from certain other reactions, most famously the (α,n) reaction, for example when a beryllium nucleus absorbs an alpha particle and emits a neutron.
Neutron source Neutron source is a general term referring to a variety devices that emit neutrons, irrespective of the mechanism used to produce the neutrons. Depending upon variables including the energy of the neutrons emitted by the source, the rate of neutrons emitted by the source, the size of the source, the cost of owning and maintaining the source, and government regulations related to the source, these devices find use in a diverse array of applications in areas of physics, engineering, medicine, nuclear weapons, petroleum exploration, biology, chemistry, nuclear power and other industries.
