Parasitic load or parasitic loss may refer to. in internal combustion engines, it refers to devices that take energy from the engine in order to enhance the engine's ability to create more energy or convert energy to motion. in electrical appliances, it represents the power consumed even when the appliance is shut off. With regard to railway ...
Parasite load is a measure of the number and virulence of the parasites that a host organism harbours. Quantitative parasitology deals with measures to quantify parasite loads in samples of hosts and to make statistical comparisons of parasitism across host samples. In evolutionary biology, parasite load has important implications for sexual ...
Parasitic drag, also known as profile drag, [ 1]: 254 [ 2]: 256 is a type of aerodynamic drag that acts on any object when the object is moving through a fluid. Parasitic drag is a combination of form drag and skin friction drag. [ 3][ 1]: 641–642 [ 4]: 19 It affects all objects regardless of whether they are capable of generating lift .
tick bites, e.g. Ixodes scapularis. Balantidiasis. Balantidium coli. intestinal mucosa, may become invasive in some patients. stool (diarrhea=ciliated trophozoite; solid stool=large cyst with horseshoe shaped nucleus) ingestion of cyst, zoonotic infection acquired from pigs (feces) Blastocystosis. Blastocystis spp.
Parasitic plant. Cuscuta, a stem holoparasite, on an Acacia tree in Pakistan. A parasitic plant is a plant that derives some or all of its nutritional requirements from another living plant. They make up about 1% of angiosperms and are found in almost every biome. All parasitic plants develop a specialized organ called the haustorium, which ...
Parasitic elements of a typical electronic component package. In electrical networks, a parasitic impedance is a circuit element ( resistance, inductance or capacitance) which is not desirable in a electrical component for its intended purpose. For instance, a resistor is designed to possess resistance, but will also possess unwanted parasitic ...
Parasitic extraction. In electronic design automation, parasitic extraction is the calculation of the parasitic effects in both the designed devices and the required wiring interconnects of an electronic circuit: parasitic capacitances, parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances, commonly called parasitic devices, parasitic components, or ...
Researchers are engineering a parasite that spreads through cat feces to deliver therapeutic drugs to the brain. This is because the parasite is able to cross the blood-brain barrier, an important ...
