Q Scientific & Educational Abbreviation

Heat Energy

Heat energy is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance by means of kinetic energy of those particle. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transfered by particles bouncing into each other.

Torque

Torque is a measure of how much force acting on an object causes that object to rotate or the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis. A measurement of an engine's power that indicates how forcefully it can rotate the crankshaft at a given engine speed. Turning or twisting effort, usually measured in lb-ft or Newton metres. Torque the product of a force acting at a distance.

Quadrature

A point in the orbit of a superior planet where it appears at right angles to the Sun as seem from Earth. Relative position of a heavenly body when 90" from another. Position of Moon when she is halfway between conjunction and opposition, thus being quadrate with Sun

Question

Glutamine

Glutamine is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the standard genetic code. It is considered a conditionally essential amino acid. Its side-chain is an amide formed by replacing the side-chain hydroxyl of glutamic acid with an amine functional group, making it the amide of glutamic acid. Its codons are CAA and CAG. In human blood, glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid, with a concentration of about 500–900 µmol/l.

Quark

A quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei. Due to a phenomenon known as color confinement, quarks are never directly observed or found in isolation, they can be found only within hadrons, such as baryons (of which protons and neutrons are Examples), and mesons.
