specific

Examples of specific in the following topics:

• Specific Purpose of a Speech

  • The specific purpose of a speech fuses the topic and general purpose.
  • Going from the general to the specific is all about refinement.
  • By using the inverted period model to outline exactly how to arrive at the speech's most specific, narrowest point, the speaker should avoid losing the audience by getting too specific at the wrong time.
  • From there, subordinate the other, more specific purposes.
  • A speech should have a specific purpose, just as a corkscrew has the specific purpose of opening a bottle with a cork top.

• Precision

  • Almost anything can be described either in general words or in specific ones.
  • General words and specific words are not opposites.
  • Specific words narrow the scope of your writing by providing more details.
  • Specific words are a subset of general words.
  • Here's an example of general and specific words in a sentence:

• Specific Heat

  • This quantity is known as the specific heat capacity (or simply, the specific heat), which is the heat capacity per unit mass of a material .
  • The last two factors are encapsulated in the value of the specific heat.
  • The symbol c stands for specific heat and depends on the material and phase.
  • In general, the specific heat also depends on the temperature.
  • Listed are the specific heats of various substances.

• Specific Identification Method

  • The specific identification costing method attaches cost to an identifiable unit of inventory.
  • Specific identification is a method of finding out ending inventory cost.
  • For example, it is hard to relate shipping and storage costs to a specific inventory item.
  • These numbers will need to be estimated and reducing the specific identification's benefit of being extremely specific.
  • Describe how a company would use the specific identification method to value inventory

• Site-Specific Art

  • Site-specific art refers to art that has been created for a specific environment or space.
  • Site-specific art is artwork created to exist in a certain place.
  • Site-specific work can refer to any form of art as long as it has been created for a specific environment or space.
  • Closely related to Land Art and Environmental Art movements, site specific art is the more broad of the three as it is not medium-specific.
  • Spiral Jetty is a site specific piece of Land Art or Earth Art created by Robert Smithson in the Great Salt Lake, Utah.

• Virus Attachment and Genome Entry

  • Attachment is a specific binding between viral capsid proteins and specific receptors on the host cellular surface.
  • Attachment is a specific binding between viral capsid proteins and specific receptors on the host cellular surface.
  • This specificity determines the host range of a virus.
  • This is because its surface protein, gp120, specifically interacts with the CD4 molecule, a chemokine receptor, which is most commonly found on the surface of CD4+ T-Cells.

• Coupling Specific Genes to Specific Organisms Using PCR

  • The ability to identify specific genes to specific organisms has increased the use of PCR and has allowed it to be more specific and eliminate the possibility of cross contaminants.
  • The identification of specific genes to specific organisms has important medical diagnostic value.
  • For example, in diagnosis of diseases like AIDS, PCR can be used to detect the small percentage of cells that are infected with HIV by utilizing primers that are specific for genes specialized to the HIV virus.
  • The bacilli are identified by using Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific genes.

• Tailor Abstraction to Your Audience

  • Tailor abstraction to the specific content and the audience level of understanding.
  • Level one is very specific, such as Levi 501.
  • Almost anything can be described either in relatively abstract, general words or in relatively concrete, specific ones.
  • Tailor the level of abstraction to the specific content and the audience level of understanding.
  • Think of abstraction as a ladder: the most specific, direct experiences are at the bottom and each step above is more abstract.

• Specific Phobia

  • Specific phobias involve excessive, distressing, and persistent fear or anxiety about a specific object or situation.
  • A person diagnosed with a specific phobia (formerly known as a "simple phobia") experiences excessive, distressing, and persistent fear or anxiety about a specific object or situation (such as animals, enclosed spaces, elevators, or flying) (APA, 2013).
  • In order to be diagnosed with a specific phobia, a person must experience a marked and persistent fear that is excessive or unreasonable, cued by the presence or anticipation of a specific object or situation (e.g., flying, heights, animals, receiving an injection, seeing blood).
  • Specific phobias can produce a wide variety of physical symptoms, such as nausea, increased heartbeat, dizziness, and sweaty palms.
  • Summarize the diagnostic criteria, etiology, treatment, and most common categories of specific phobias

• Immunoblot Procedures

  • Immunoblot is a technique for analyzing proteins via antigen-antibody specific reactions.
  • The membrane can then be blocked with serum albumin or milk solution to prevent non-specific antibody binding.
  • This is followed by probing with antibodies specific to the protein being studied on the membrane, a method that is similar to immunohistochemistry, but without a need for fixation.
  • This technique exploits the specificity inherent in antigen-antibody recognition.
  • Describe how Western blotting allows individuals to detect specific solubilized proteins from serum or cell or tissue extracts
