Transmission (mechanics) In mechanics, a transmission (also called a "standard" or "manual" transmission) or gearbox, is the system of gears and/or the hydraulic system (called variously "hydrodynamic", "fluid" or "automatic" transmission) that transmits mechanical power from a prime mover—such as an engine or electric motor—to some form of useful output device, normally rotary in form, and generally at a reduced rate of angular speed but at a higher motive torque.
Transmission (telecommunications) In telecommunications, transmission is the act of transmitting electrical messages (and the associated phenomena of radiant energy that passes through media). Messages can be a series of data units, such as binary digits, or groups of those, variously called frames, blocks.
Transmission art Transmission Art evolved from early radio experimentation in the first half of the 20th century, sound and telecommunication art practices post 1945, and the microradio movement of the 1990s. Coined by New York-based nonprofit free103point9, Transmission Art practices are explorations around transmission as a medium for creative expression.
Transmission coefficient (optics) In optics, a transmission coefficient is a measure of how much of an electromagnetic wave (light) passes through a surface or an optical element. Transmission coefficients can be calculated for either the amplitude or the intensity of the wave.
Transmission coefficient (physics) In non-relativistic quantum mechanics, the transmission coefficient and related reflection coefficient are used to describe the behavior of waves incident on a barrier. The transmission coefficient represents the probability flux of the transmitted wave relative to that of the incident wave.
Transmission Control Protocol The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a virtual circuit protocol that is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite, often simply referred to as TCP/IP. Using TCP, applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over which they can exchange streams of data using Stream Sockets.
Transmission Control Unit A Transmission Control Unit is a device that controls modern electronic automatic transmissions. A Transmission Control Unit generally uses sensors from the vehicle as well as data provided by the Engine Control Unit to calculate how and when to change gears in the vehicle for optimum performance, fuel economy and shift quality.
Transmission disequilibrium test In population genetics, the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) was proposed by Spielman, McGinnis & Ewens (1993) as a family-based association test to compare transmission frequencies of an allele thought to be associated with a disease and its alternate allele using affected children born to parents heterozygous for the allele.
Transmission electron microscopy Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is an imaging technique whereby a beam of electrons is focused onto a specimen causing an enlarged version to appear on a fluorescent screen or layer of photographic film (see electron microscope), or to be detected by a CCD camera. The first practical transmission electron microscope was built by Albert Prebus and James Hillier at the University of Toronto in 1938 using concepts developed earlier by Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska.
Transmission line A transmission line is the material medium or structure that forms all or part of a path from one place to another for directing the transmission of energy, such as electromagnetic waves or acoustic waves, as well as electric power transmission.
Transmission line measurement Transmission line measurement is a technique used in semiconductor physics and engineering to determine the contact resistance between a metal and a semiconductor. The technique involves making a series of metal-semiconductor contacts separated by various distances.

Transmit diversity Transmit diversity is radio communication using signals that originate from two or more independent sources that have been modulated with identical information-bearing signals and that may vary in their transmission characteristics at any given instant.
Transmit-after-receive time delay In telecommunication, transmit-after-receive time delay is the time interval from removal of rf energy at the local receiver input until the local transmitter is automatically keyed on and the transmitted rf signal amplitude has increased to 90% of its steady-state value. An Exception: High-frequency (HF) transceiver equipment is normally not designed with an interlock between receiver squelch and transmitter on-off key.
Transmitter attack-time delay In telecommunication, transmitter attack-time delay is the interval from the instant a transmitter is keyed-on to the instant the transmitted radio frequency (rf) signal amplitude has increased to a specified level, usually 90% of its key-on steady-state value.

These planets serve as a link to a person's individual karma and his generational karma.
Transpersonal psychiatry Transpersonal psychiatry may be considered an application of the teachings of transpersonal psychology to medical matters. It is, therefore, closely allied to therapy which adopts a transpersonal perspective, a topic which has been written about by Boorstein (1980) and for which John Rowan has discussed different streams, such as the Jungian, psychosynthetic and neuro-linguistic approaches.

The basic idea of this is that, two people may be so spiritually or emotionally connected that they can switch bodies, sometimes willfully, and sometimes randomly.
Transphobia Transphobia refers to various kinds of aversions towards transsexuality and transsexual or transgendered people, often taking the form of refusal to accept a person's expression of their internal gender identity (See Phobia - terms indicating prejudice or class discrimination). Whether intentional or not, transphobia can have severe consequences for the object of the negative attitude.
Transpiration Transpiration is the evaporation of water from aerial parts of plants, especially leaves but also stems, flowers and fruits. Transpiration is a side effect of the plant needing to open its stomata in order to obtain carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis.
Transpiration stream In plants, the transpiration stream is the uninterrupted stream of water which is taken up by the roots and, via the xylem vessels, transported to the leaves where it will eventually evaporate at the air/apoplast-interface of the substomatal cavity. It is driven in part by capillary forces, but much more by the difference in water potential between the soil and the substomatal cavity, which on is turn can be regulated through stomatal closure or opening.
Transplacental Transplacental refers to the ability of a toxin or pathogen to cross the physical and biological barriers of the placenta separating the mother and fetus, to whom such substances may be dangerous. This would include, for example, HIV and the drug thalidomide.
Transplant rejection Transplant rejection occurs when the immune system of the recipient of a transplant attacks the transplanted organ or tissue. This is because a normal healthy human immune system can distinguish foreign tissues and attempts to destroy them, just as it attempts to destroy infective organisms such as bacteria and viruses.
Transplanting In agriculture and gardening, transplanting is the technique of moving a plant from one location to another. Most often this takes the form of starting a plant from seed in optimal conditions, such as in a greenhouse or protected nursery bed, then replanting it in another, usually outdoor, growing location.
