- Volume Coverage Pattern - A volumetric sampling procedure designed for the surveillance of one or more particular meteorological phenomena. Clear Air Mode uses VCP 31 and 32. Each has a Volume Scan consisting of 5 elevation angles (0.5 to 4.5 degrees) in ten minutes. VCP 31 has a long pulse length and provides a better signal-to-noise ratio permitting lower reflectivity returns to be detected. VCP 32 has a short pulse length which provides for larger unambiguous velocity values. Precipitation Mode uses VCP 11 and 21. VCP 11 provides better vertical sampling of weather echoes near the antenna and is usually preferred in situations where convective precipitation is within 60 nmi of the antenna. VCP 11 Volume Scan consists of 14 elevation angles (0.5 to 19.5 degrees) in 5 minutes. VCP 21 has a slower antenna rotation rate and provides better velocity and spectrum width estimates beyond 60 nmi. VCP 21 Volume Scan consists of 9 elevation angles (0.5 to 19.5 degrees) in 6 minutes.

Vectibix - permalink
All > Medicine > Cancer
- (VEK-tih-bix) A human monoclonal antibody that is being used to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. It is used in patients whose disease has not gotten better during or after treatment with other anticancer drugs. It is also being studied in the treatment of other types of cancer. Monoclonal antibodies are made in the laboratory and can locate and bind to substances in the body, including cancer cells. Vectibix binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and may block tumor cell growth. Also called ABX-EGF and panitumumab.

- A type of DNA, such as a plasmid or phage that is self-replicating and that can be used to transfer DNA segments among host cells. Also, an insect or other organism that provides a means of dispersal for a disease or parasite.
USDA CSREES - Cite This Source - This Definition - 1. An organism, usually an insect, that carries and transmits pathogens . 2. A small DNA molecule (plasmid, virus, bacteriophage, artificial or cut DNA molecule) that can be used to deliver DNA into a cell. Vectors must be capable of being replicated and contain cloning sites for the introduction of foreign DNA.
UN Food and Agriculture Organization - Cite This Source - This Definition - An autonomously replicating DNA molecule into which foreign DNA fragments are inserted and then propagated in a host cell. Also living carriers of genetic material (such as pollen) from plant to plant, such as insects.
