Pertaining to pairs of properties in quantum mechanics that are inversely related to each other, such as speed & position and energy & time. (See also Heisenberg uncertainty principle.)
A family of BSUs designed around agreed BSUs definitions, the larger areas being the sum of a number of smaller areas etc
A term describing ICs that employ components of both polarity types connected in such a way that operation of either is complemented A complementary bipolar circuit employs both NPN and PNP transistors A complementary CMOS circuit (CMOS) employs both n-channel and p-channel devices
Complementary things are different from each other but make a good combination. To improve the quality of life through work, two complementary strategies are necessary He has done experiments complementary to those of Eigen. + complementarity com·ple·men·ta·rity the complementarity between public and private authorities
Complementary medicine refers to ways of treating patients which are different from the ones used by most Western doctors, for example acupuncture and homoeopathy. combining orthodox treatment with a wide range of complementary therapies. = alternative orthodox, conventional
of or relating to or suggestive of complementation; "interchangeable electric outlets" of words or propositions so related that each is the negation of the other; "`male' and `female' are complementary terms
of words or propositions so related that each is the negation of the other; "`male' and `female' are complementary terms
of words or propositions so related that each is the negation of the other; "`male' and `female' are complementary terms"
In reference to base pairing, the ability of two polynucleotide sequences to form a double-stranded helix by hydrogen bonding between bases in the two sequences
Complementary is the term for two identical periodic signals where one signal is electrically inverted from the other Example of singlechannel electrically inverted Complementary signals are typically generated by inversion of the electrical output from a single channel
either one of two chromatic colors that when mixed together give white (in the case of lights) or gray (in the case of pigments); "yellow and blue are complementaries"
(also called Integrative) medicine - these are therapies which integrate conventional medicine with alternative treatments For example, a person might take medication to prevent seizures and also receive acupuncture treatments or take herbs Complementary therapies operate on certain principles, including the belief that the body has a natural ability to heal itself, that environmental and social conditions have a profound impact on an individual's health and that treating the root cause or causes of a problem is more important than treating symptoms Many patients say complementary therapies help reduce or eliminate their intake of pharmaceuticals
of or relating to or suggestive of complementation; "interchangeable electric outlets"
A property of DNA whereby each nitrogenous base pairs with another particular base (A with T and G with C); two complementary single strands have nucleotide sequences that enable their bases to pair up; see Figure B-8
A color scheme incorporating opposite hues on the color wheel Complementary colors accentuate each other in juxtaposition, and neutralize each other in mixture
A colour scheme incorporating opposite hues on the colour wheel Complementary colours accentuate each other in juxtaposition, and neutralize each other in mixture
either one of two chromatic colors that when mixed together give white (in the case of lights) or gray (in the case of pigments); "yellow and blue are complementaries
primary or secondary colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel (in the case of light: two mixed together produce white, in the case of pigments: two mixed together produce gray)
a DNA sequence which was produced from mRNA by reverse transcription A cDNA is so-called because its sequence is the complement of the original mRNA sequence However, when double-stranded cDNA is synthesized, it contains both the original sequence and its complement
Synthetic DNA reverse transcribed from a specific RNA through the action of the enzyme reverse transcriptase DNA synthesized by reverse transcriptase using RNA as a template
DNA that is identical to a native DNA containing a gene of interest, except that the cDNA lacks noncoding regions (introns) because it is synthesised in the laboratory using mRNA templates
DNA synthesized from a messenger RNA rather than from a DNA template This type of DNA is used for cloning or as a DNA probe for locating specific genes in DNA hybridization studies (BIO)
- goods that are jointly consumed The consumption of one enhances the consumption of the other (examples hot dogs/hotdog buns; left shoe/right shoe; snow skis and snow clothing)
A method of health care that combines the therapies and philosophies of conventional medicine with those of alternative medicines, such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and biofeedback. complementary medicine uses treatments that are not part of traditional Western medicine
