Transduction
Meaning
Noun
●
In Biology:
The
transfer
of
genetic material
from one cell to another
typically
between
bacterial
cells, and
typically
via a
bacteriophage
or pilus.
●
The process whereby a
transducer
converts
energy from one form to another.
●
In Physiology:
The
conversion
of a
stimulus
from one form to another.
●
In Physics:
The
conversion
of energy (especially
light
energy) into another form, especially in a
biological
process such as
photosynthesis
or in a transducer.
●
In Logic:
Particularly in the
discipline
of
artificial intelligence
, a form of
inference
,
according to
which the
response
appropriate
to a particular known case, also is
appropriate
to another particular case
diagnosed
to be
functionally
identical
. This
contrasts
with
induction
, in which general
rules
derived
from
past
observations
are
applied
to future
cases
as a
class
(compare also analogy).
●
The
improvement
of an
electronic
logic
network by
reduction
of
redundant
components
in an
initial
version
, using an
established
pruning
procedure
, then
applying
permissible
functions
for
transformation
of the network into a
workable
form. Thereafter the
transformation
and
reduction
may be
repeated
till no
worthwhile
further
improvement
results.
