AMP study
AMP study (Adolescent Master Protocol, PHACS; AMP Up, AMP Up Lite): US prospective cohort following youth with perinatally acquired HIV and HIV-exposed uninfected peers, enrolled 2007-2009, studying long-term effects of HIV and antiretroviral therapy.
AMP Up study
AMP Up (Adolescent Master Protocol for Participants 18 Years of Age and Older) is a PHACS prospective cohort study following over 800 young adults with perinatally acquired HIV, plus exposed uninfected comparisons, at 14 US and Puerto Rico sites.
AMP-activated protein kinase
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a heterotrimeric αβγ serine/threonine kinase, is the eukaryotic cellular energy sensor activated by AMP and Thr172 phosphorylation, switching catabolism on and anabolism off; drug target for diabetes and metabolic disease.
AMP-binding
AMP-binding: conserved protein domain of adenylate-forming (ANL) enzymes, including acyl-CoA synthetases, NRPS adenylation domains, luciferases, and FAALs, which activate carboxylates via acyl-AMP intermediates.
AMPA
AMPA, or aminomethylphosphonic acid, is a phosphonic acid compound best known as the principal degradation product and metabolite of the herbicide glyphosate in plants, soil, and water.
AMPA receptor
AMPA receptor (AMPAR), ionotropic glutamate receptor mediating fast excitatory neurotransmission in the mammalian brain; tetramers of GluA1–GluA4, calcium permeability set by ADAR2-edited GluA2, regulated by TARP auxiliary subunits, and a target in epilepsy therapy.
Ampacity
Ampacity, short for ampere capacity, is the maximum current, in amperes, a conductor can carry continuously under its conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating, central to cable sizing.
Ampallang
Ampallang: a horizontal genital piercing through the glans penis, above or through the urethra; traditionally from Borneo and the Philippines (Kayan, palang), revived in the West in the 1970s; heals in months and requires an experienced piercer.
Amparo Montes
Amparo Montes, born Amparo Meza Cruz in Tapachula, Chiapas, was a Mexican bolero singer of the golden age of Mexican song, known for 'Quién será'.
Ampass early Christian Church
Ampass early Christian Church: fifth-century CE church under the Gothic parish church of Ampass near Innsbruck, Austria, also called the church of St. John on the Palmbühel; identified by an excavated memoria and reliquary vault, with parallels at Säben.
Ampelmännchen
The Ampelmännchen, the hat-wearing pedestrian signal figure designed by Karl Peglau for East Germany in 1961, survived reunification and became a protected Berlin cult brand.
Ampelography
Ampelography, from Greek ampelos and graphein, is the identification and classification of grapevine varieties by leaf, shoot, and bunch morphology, standardized by OIV descriptors and extended since the 1990s by DNA markers.
Ampelomyia viticola
Ampelomyia viticola, the grape tube gallmaker (formerly Cecidomyia viticola, Schizomyia viticola), is a North American gall midge forming tube-like leaf galls on Vitis grapes; moved to the genus Ampelomyia by Elsayed and Tokuda in 2019.
Ampelopsis
Ampelopsis (peppervine, porcelain berry) is a genus of tendril-climbing lianas in Vitaceae, published by Michaux in 1803, mostly East Asian with disjunct North American species; Nekemias was split from it in 2014.
Ampere
The ampere (symbol A) is the SI base unit of electric current, defined since 2019 by fixing the elementary charge, and equal to about 6.24 × 10¹⁸ electrons per second.
Ampere (microarchitecture)
Ampere, also known as Nvidia Ampere, is a GPU microarchitecture from NVIDIA announced in 2020, succeeding Turing and Volta and powering the A100 and GeForce RTX 30 Series.
Ampere Computing
Ampere Computing is a Santa Clara, California semiconductor company founded in 2017 by former Intel president Renée James that designs Arm-based server processors for cloud and AI workloads.
Ampere-hour
The ampere-hour (Ah), also called an amp hour, is a non-SI unit of electric charge equal to 3,600 coulombs, the customary unit for battery capacity.
Ampère's circuital law
Ampère's circuital law, also called Ampère's law or the Ampère-Maxwell equation, relates the magnetic field around a closed loop to the electric current the loop encloses, as one of Maxwell's four equations.
AmpereOne
AmpereOne is a family of cloud-native server processors from Ampere Computing, announced in 2023 with up to 192 single-threaded custom Ampere Arm cores, targeting cloud and AI inference workloads.
Amperometric detection
Amperometric detection is an electroanalytical method that quantifies electroactive substances by measuring the current from their oxidation or reduction at an electrode held at a fixed applied potential.
Amperometric titration
Amperometric titration is an electroanalytical method in which the current at an electrode held at a fixed potential is followed as titrant is added, revealing the end point.
Amperometry
Amperometry, also called DC amperometry, is an electroanalytical technique that measures current from oxidation or reduction of an analyte at a working electrode held at a fixed potential.
