The break down of organic matter by bacteria and fungi, to change the chemical structure and physical appearance of matter
the conversion of chemically unstable materials to more stable forms by chemical or biological action If organic matter decays when there is no oxygen present (anaerobic conditions or putrefaction), undesirable tastes and odors are produced Decay of organic matter when oxygen is present (aerobic conditions) tends to produce much less objectionable tastes and odors
The process by which traditional cultural forms have destroyed themselves, under the effects of the appearance of superior means of dominating nature, permitting and requiring superior cultural constructions We distinguish between an active phase of decomposition, effective demolition of older superstructures -- which ends around 1930 -- and a phase of repetition, which has dominated since then The delay in the passage from decomposition to new constructions is tied to the delay in the revolutionar y liquidation of capitalism
The act or process of resolving the constituent parts of a compound body or substance into its elementary parts; separation into constituent part; analysis; the decay or dissolution consequent on the removal or alteration of some of the ingredients of a compound; disintegration; as, the decomposition of wood, rocks, etc
The process by which materials are broken down into simpler compounds by decomposers
(n ) A division of a data structure into substructures that can be distributed separately, or a technique for dividing a computation into subcomputations that can be executed separately The most common decomposition strategies in parallel computing are: functional decomposition; geometric decomposition and iterative decomposition
the process of breaking down organic matter into its basic elements including nutrients needed for plant growth Decomposition occurs in nature and in controlled environments like compost bins
(chemistry) separation of a substance into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance
(1) The process of separating or analyzing a text element into component units These component units may not have any functional status, but may be simply formal units--that is, abstract shapes (2) (See Definition D19 in Section 3 6, Decomposition )
The process in which traditional cultural forms have destroyed themselves as a result of the emergence of superior means of dominating nature which make possible and necessary superior cultural constructions We can distinguish between the active phase of the decomposition and effective demolition of the old superstructures which came to an end around 1930 and a phase of repetition that has prevailed since that time The delay in the transition from decomposition to new constructions is linked to the delay in the revolutionary liquidation of capitalism
The breakdown or decay of organic materials Research at the HBEF examines microorganisms that decompose organic (dead plant and animal) materials
The breakdown of matter by bacteria and fungi It changes the chemical makeup and physical appearance of materials (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
the analysis of a vector field (biology) decaying caused by bacterial or fungal action (chemistry) separation of a substance into two or more substances that may differ from each other and from the original substance in a decomposed state
(bio) (chem) Decay of ORGANIC MATTER due to the action of BACTERIA or FUNGI Also the separation of a substance into its component parts by chemical action F - decomposition S - descomposicion
The programming procedure for restructuring a problem into smaller tasks to be performed in parallel See domain decomposition and functional decomposition
A process by which a rectangular table of numbers or abstract quantities that can be added and multiplied is broken down into simpler numerical building blocks
A particular type of factorisation of a matrix into a product of three matrices, of which the second is a diagonal matrix that has as the entries on its diagonal the singular values of the original matrix
When things such as dead plants or animals decompose, or when something decomposes them, they change chemically and begin to decay. a dead body found decomposing in a wood The debris slowly decomposes into compost The fertiliser releases nutrients gradually as bacteria decompose it. = rot, decay + decomposed de·com·posed The body was too badly decomposed to be identified at once
Break down into simpler components; change form De-inking Removing most of the ink, filler and other materials from waste paper before using it to manufacture new paper
A process which separates materials into constituent parts of elements or into simpler compounds; to undergo chemical breakdown; decay or rot as a result of microbial or fungal action
To separate the constituent parts of; to resolve into original elements; to set free from previously existing forms of chemical combination; to bring to dissolution; to rot or decay
to break down into component parts or basic elements; or to rot Decomposition is an organic process necessary for the continuation of life since it creates essential nutrients that plants and animals need and use
To separate into constituent parts or elements or into simpler compounds; to undergo chemical breakdown; to decay or rot as a result or microbial and fungal action
to breakdown into simple elements; decomposition is a process dead plants and animals go through when exposed to oxygen and bacteria; the result is an organic material returned to the soil
A chemical reaction between two compounds in which the first and second parts of one reactant are united, respectively, with the second and first parts of the other reactant
