termination
(noun)
The process of terminating or the state of being terminated.
Examples of termination in the following topics:
-
American Indian Relocation
- Some tribes may have had a formal termination agreement approved, but they were successful at warding off termination until repudiation, or terms of their agreement were unmet.
- Other tribes were approved for termination, but were successful in testifying before Congress that they should not be terminated.
- This helped non-terminated tribes, but terminated tribal children were not allowed to apply for these funds.
- Over one hundred tribes were terminated during the termination policy era.
- Kennedy's administration did oversee some of the last terminations.
-
EMF and Terminal Voltage
- The voltage output of a device is measured across its terminals and is called its terminal voltage V.
- Terminal voltage is given by the equation:
- I is positive if current flows away from the positive terminal.
- The larger the current, the smaller the terminal voltage.
- (Note that the script E stands for emf. ) Also shown are the output terminals across which the terminal voltage V is measured.

DNA Sequencing Based on Sanger Dideoxynucleotides
- The classical chain-termination method requires a single-stranded DNA template, a DNA primer, a DNA polymerase, normal deoxynucleotidetriphosphates (dNTPs), and modified nucleotides (dideoxyNTPs) that terminate DNA strand elongation .
- Chain-termination methods have greatly simplified DNA sequencing.
- More recently, dye-terminator sequencing has been developed.
- Dye-terminator sequencing utilizes labelling of the chain terminator ddNTPs, which permits sequencing in a single reaction, rather than four reactions as in the labelled-primer method.
- In dye-terminator sequencing, each of the four dideoxynucleotide chain terminators is labelled with fluorescent dyes, each of which emit light at different wavelengths .
-
Terminations
- Terminations can occur in a variety of methods, both voluntary and involuntary.
- The type of termination will determine the employee's future relationship (or lack of) with the employer.
- A less severe form of involuntary termination is often referred to as a layoff.
- Some terminations occur as a result of mutual agreement between the employer and employee.
- When this happens, it is sometimes debatable if the termination was truly mutual.
-
Elongation and Termination in Prokaryotes
- Transcription elongation begins with the release of the polymerase σ subunit and terminates via the rho protein or via a stable hairpin.
- Depending on the gene being transcribed, there are two kinds of termination signals: one is protein-based and the other is RNA-based.
- Rho-dependent termination is controlled by the rho protein, which tracks along behind the polymerase on the growing mRNA chain.
- Rho-independent termination is controlled by specific sequences in the DNA template strand.
- Upon termination, the process of transcription is complete.

Acidity of Terminal Alkynes
- Such a base is sodium amide (NaNH2), discussed above, and its reactions with terminal alkynes may be conducted in liquid ammonia or ether as solvents.
- This factor clearly limits the usefulness of Grignard or lithium reagents when a terminal triple bond is present, as in equation 2.
- The acidity of terminal alkynes also plays a role in product determination when vicinal (or geminal) dihalides undergo base induced bis-elimination reactions.
- If the very strong base sodium amide is used, the terminal alkyne is trapped as its sodium salt, from which it may be released by mild acid treatment.
- The resulting allenic carbanions undergo rapid proton transfer equilibria, leading to the relatively stable terminal alkyne conjugate base.
-
Radical Chain-Growth Polymerization
- The most common termination processes are Radical Combination and Disproportionation.
- Note that in both types of termination two reactive radical sites are removed by simultaneous conversion to stable product(s).
- Since the concentration of radical species in a polymerization reaction is small relative to other reactants (e.g. monomers, solvents and terminated chains), the rate at which these radical-radical termination reactions occurs is very small, and most growing chains achieve moderate length before termination.
- The relative importance of these terminations varies with the nature of the monomer undergoing polymerization.
- However, methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate are terminated chiefly by disproportionation.
-
Attenuation
- The process of attenuation involves the presence of a stop signal that indicates premature termination.
- Transcription-attenuation is characterized by the presence of 5'-cis acting regulatory regions that fold into alternative RNA structures which can terminate transcription.
- These RNA structures dictate whether transcription will proceed successfully or be terminated early, specifically, by causing transcription-attenuation.
- The result is a misfolded RNA structure where the Rho-independent terminator disrupts transcription and produced a non-functional RNA product.
- The other RNA structure produced will be an anti-terminator that allows transcription to proceed .
-
Termination of the Signal Cascade
- The aberrant signaling often seen in tumor cells is proof that the termination of a signal at the appropriate time can be just as important as the initiation of a signal.
- One method of terminating or stopping a specific signal is to degrade or remove the ligand so that it can no longer access its receptor.
- Describe the process by which the signal cascade in cell communication is terminated
