Transfer of the Portuguese court to Rio de Janeiro

The transfer of the Portuguese court to Rio de Janeiro (Transferência da corte portuguesa para o Rio de Janeiro) moved the Portuguese monarchy and government from Lisbon to Brazil in 1807 and 1808.

Transfer of the royal cemetery from Napata to Meroe

The transfer of the royal cemetery from Napata to Meroe, around 300 BC under King Arkamani I, moved Kushite royal burials from Nuri to Meroë's pyramids.

Transfer of the Safavid capital to Qazvin

The transfer of the Safavid capital to Qazvin was Shah Tahmasp I's move of the royal seat from Tabriz to Qazvin in the mid-sixteenth century.

Transfer paradox

The transfer paradox is a result in international trade theory: a country making an unconditional transfer of wealth to another can end up better off while the recipient ends up worse off.

Transfer path analysis

Transfer path analysis (TPA) is a test-based engineering method that breaks a measured noise or vibration response into the contributions of the paths connecting source to receiver.

Transfer pricing

Transfer pricing is the pricing of transactions between companies in the same multinational group, such as a subsidiary buying goods from an affiliate, governed by the arm's length principle.

Transfer problem

The transfer problem in economics is how a payer country converts a fixed payment abroad into an actual flow of goods, named by Keynes in 1929 over German reparations.

Transfer RNA

Transfer RNA (tRNA), the adaptor RNA of translation, 70-90 nucleotides, cloverleaf/L-shaped, decodes mRNA codons via anticodon and wobble modifications; also source of tRF/tsRNA regulators and engineered sup-tRNA medicines.

Transfer RNA processing

Transfer RNA processing is the set of enzymatic steps converting a primary tRNA transcript into a mature tRNA, including 5′ and 3′ trimming, CCA addition, and intron splicing.

Transfer window

Transfer window: FIFA-regulated registration periods, two per season per member association, in which football clubs may buy, sell, or loan players; introduced for 2002/03 after EU-brokered transfer reform.

Transfer-matrix method (optics)

The transfer-matrix method in optics, also called the characteristic matrix method, computes the reflectance and transmittance of thin-film stacks by multiplying a 2×2 matrix per layer; Abelès introduced it in 1950.

Transfer-messenger RNA

Transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA, 10Sa/SsrA RNA) is a bacterial hybrid RNA with tRNA-like and mRNA-like domains that, with SmpB, rescues stalled ribosomes via trans-translation and tags incomplete proteins for degradation; universal in bacteria, absent in eukaryotes, and an antibiotic target.

Transference

Transference (German Übertragung): Freud's psychoanalytic concept of displacing feelings and fantasies from past relationships onto the therapist; covers its history, 15 assessment instruments, transference interpretations, and transference-focused psychotherapy.

Transference-focused psychotherapy

Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is a structured, manualized psychodynamic treatment for personality disorders, developed by Otto Kernberg and colleagues at Weill Cornell Medical College and counted among the evidence-based treatments for borderline personality disorder.

Transferrin

Transferrin (serotransferrin, hTF) is an 80 kDa bilobal blood glycoprotein carrying two Fe3+ atoms; via transferrin receptor 1 endocytosis at endosomal pH 5.6 it delivers iron to cells and serves as a clinical iron-status marker.

Transferrin saturation

Transferrin saturation (TSAT), also called percent transferrin saturation, is a blood test calculated as serum iron divided by TIBC times 100; about 25–35% is typical, under 16–20% suggests iron deficiency, and 45% or more suggests iron overload such as hemochromatosis.

Transfiguration (Raphael)

The Transfiguration (1516-1520) is Raphael's last painting, an altarpiece for Narbonne Cathedral commissioned by Cardinal Giulio de' Medici, combining Christ's transfiguration with the healing of a possessed boy; it now hangs in the Pinacoteca Vaticana.

Transfiguration of Jesus

The Transfiguration of Jesus is the gospel event where Jesus shines with light on a mountain before Peter, James, and John, kept as a feast on August 6.

Transfinite induction

Transfinite induction, also called well-ordered induction, is a proof technique extending ordinary mathematical induction from the natural numbers to any well-ordered class, most prominently the ordinal numbers.

Transfinite number

A transfinite number, also called transfinity, is an infinite ordinal or cardinal number introduced by Georg Cantor in 1883, larger than every natural number yet exactly comparable.

Transfluthrin

Transfluthrin is a fast-acting tetrafluorobenzyl pyrethroid household insecticide and spatial repellent developed by Bayer, with low mammalian acute toxicity and low cross-resistance in pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes.

Transforaminal discectomy

Transforaminal discectomy, also called TELD or PTED, is a minimally invasive spine operation that removes herniated lumbar disc material through the neural foramen to relieve radicular leg pain.

Transforaminal epidural steroid injection

A transforaminal epidural steroid injection (TFESI) is a pain-medicine procedure that injects corticosteroid near a spinal nerve root to treat radicular pain from disc herniation or stenosis.

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion

Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a spinal fusion technique that inserts a bone graft or cage into a lumbar disc space through a unilateral posterolateral approach.

Transform fault

A transform fault, or conservative plate boundary, is a strike-slip boundary where two plates slide horizontally past each other, proposed by J. Tuzo Wilson in 1965.

Transform methods in probability

Transform methods in probability replace a probability distribution with a function such as its characteristic or Laplace transform, so sums of independent variables become products and moments follow by differentiation.

Transform of a random variable (generating function)

A transform of a random variable is a function, such as the moment-generating or characteristic function, that encodes its distribution so sums and scaling become simple algebra.

TRANSFORM-2 trial

TRANSFORM-2 (NCT02418585), also called ESKETINTRD3002, was Janssen's pivotal phase 3 flexible-dose trial of esketamine nasal spray plus an oral antidepressant for treatment-resistant depression; it was the only one of the three short-term TRANSFORM trials to meet its primary MADRS endpoint.

Transformation doctrine (international law)

The transformation doctrine is the dualist rule in international law that ratified treaties bind a state externally but become enforceable domestically only after national legislation.

Transformation group

A transformation group is a set of invertible transformations of a space closed under composition, containing the identity and inverses, central to Klein's 1872 Erlangen Program and Lie's theory of continuous groups.
