transference

Examples of transference in the following topics:

• Employee Transfers

  • Transfers take place in response to goals, needs, talent, or employee requests; HR evaluates and executes transfers.
  • Evaluating and executing employee transfers is an essential function of human resources management.
  • Transfers can occur for many different reasons; they can be driven by employees or managers.
  • Types of employee transfers include: strategic transfers, necessity transfers, and talent/management transfers.
  • A necessity transfer usually includes an incentive, like a raise, to give employees an incentive to put in the training the transfer will require.

• Overview of Heat

  • This module defines and explores heat transfer, its effects, and the methods by which heat is transferred.
  • It is something which may be transferred from one body to another.
  • After defining and quantifying heat transfer and its effects on physical systems, we will discuss the methods by which heat is transferred.
  • So many processes involve heat transfer, so that it is hard to imagine a situation where no heat transfer occurs.
  • Convection is the heat transfer by the macroscopic movement of a fluid.

• Population Transfer

  • Population transfer is the movement of a large group of people from one region to another by state policy or international authority.
  • Population exchange is the transfer of two populations in opposite directions at about the same time.
  • The view of international law on population transfer underwent considerable evolution during the 20th century.
  • There is now little debate about the general legal status of involuntary population transfers, as forced population transfers are now considered violations of international law.
  • The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.

• Work

  • For closed systems, energy changes in a system other than as work transfer are as heat.
  • Heat transfer, a less organized process, is driven by temperature differences.
  • Heat transfer and work are both energy in transit—neither is stored as such in a system.
  • An isobaric expansion of a gas requires heat transfer during the expansion to keep the pressure constant.
  • Analyze the necessity to exclude energy transferred between system as heat from mechanical work

• Horizontal Gene Transfer

  • Classically, this type of transfer was thought to occur by three different mechanisms:
  • Conjugation: the use a hollow tube called a pilus to transfer genes between organisms.
  • More recently, a fourth mechanism of gene transfer between prokaryotes has been discovered.
  • Small, virus-like particles called gene transfer agents (GTAs) transfer random genomic segments from one species of prokaryote to another.
  • Explain how horizontal gene transfer can make resolution of phylogenies difficult

• The Capital Account

  • The capital account acts as a sort of miscellaneous account, measuring non-produced and non-financial assets, as well as capital transfers.
  • Instead, the capital account acts as a sort of miscellaneous account, measuring non-produced and non-financial assets, as well as capital transfers.
  • The capital account can be split into two categories: non-produced and non-financial assets, and capital transfers.
  • Capital transfers include debt forgiveness, the transfer of goods and financial assets by migrants leaving or entering a country, the transfer of ownership on fixed assets, the transfer of funds received to the sale or acquisition of fixed assets, gift and inheritance taxes, death levies, and uninsured damage to fixed asset.
  • For example, if the domestic country forgives a loan made to a foreign country, this transfer creates a deficit in the capital account.

• The First Law

  • The first law of thermodynamics applies the conservation of energy principle to systems where heat transfer and doing work are the methods of transferring energy into and out of the system .
  • Heat engines are a good example of this—heat transfer into them takes place so that they can do work.
  • Q represents the net heat transfer—it is the sum of all heat transfers into and out of the system.
  • Q is positive for net heat transfer into the system.
  • Explain how the net heat transferred and net work done in a system relate to the first law of thermodynamics

• Gene Transfer in Archaea

  • This phenomenon is described as horizontal gene transfer.
  • Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the transfer of genes between organisms in a manner other than traditional reproduction.
  • Also termed lateral gene transfer, it contrasts with vertical transfer, the transmission of genes from the parental generation to offspring via sexual or asexual reproduction.
  • Archaea show high levels of horizontal gene transfer between lineages.
  • Taken together it is clear that gene transfer happens in Archaea, and probably is similar to horizontal gene transfer seen in the other domains of life.

• Conduction

  • Conduction is the transfer of heat through stationary matter by physical contact.
  • If two molecules collide, an energy transfer from the hot to the cold molecule occurs (see the above figure).
  • Heat transfer from the left side to the right side is accomplished by a series of molecular collisions.
  • The thicker the material, the more time it takes to transfer the same amount of heat.
  • The rate of heat transfer is inversely proportional to the thickness d.

• Electronic Banking

  • Electronic banking includes such services as ATMs, direct deposits, electronic fund transfers, and online banking.
  • Electronic funds transfer (EFT) is a service that allows a bank to transfer large amounts of money to another bank by sending an electronic message.
  • Electronic transfers take only an instant.
  • The message is sent, and the appropriate amount is transferred.
  • No cash or paper changes hands, but money is transferred just the same.
