For Generation we have terms and definitions in 17 topics. The topics are Aging, Carpet, Dam, Ecology, Energy, Entertainment Industry, Entomological, Film, Fish, Genetics and Genealogy, Insect, Paper, Pests, Physics High Energy, Science, Uk Power and Wind Energy.

Generation (Aging)

Members of a family who belong to the same cohort (used as kinship term)

Generation (Carpet)

An informal reference to the stages of development for nylon carpet fibers: 1st - early nylons; 2d - modified cross-section for soil hiding; 3d - 2d generation plus antistatic properties; 4th-3d generation plus fluorochemical soil/stain repellent; 5th-4th generation plus acid dye blocker treatment.

Generation (Dam)

Act or process of producing electric energy from other forms of energy. Also refers to the amount of electric energy so produced.

Generation (Ecology)

A group of offspring that are born together and live at the same time. Some insect species have more than one generation in a year. For example, a pair of ladybugs may give birth to one generation of thousands of young ladybugs. The first generation grows quickly and becomes adults. Those adults then mate with other ladybugs and give birth to a second generation in the same year.

Generation (Energy)

The process of producing electric energy by transforming other forms of energy; also, the amount of electric energy produced, expressed in kilowatthours.

Generation (Entertainment Industry)

The process whereby each time you copy a piece of film or tape it losses some clarity.

Generation (Entomological)

The group of individuals of a given species that have been reproduced at approximately the same time; the group of individuals of the same genealogical rank.

Generation (Film)

How many times the tape you are watching has been copied. If you are watching a VHS copy of a movie that was copied from a Beta that was copied as a back up to the master tape, it is said to be third generation. This is the third step from the original media.

Generation (Fish)

Act or process of producing electric energy from other forms of energy. Also refers to the amount of electric energy so produced.

Generation (Genetics and Genealogy)

The average interval of time between the birth of parents and the birth of their offspring. For purposes of DNA projects, some people use 18 or 20 years, and others may use 25, 30, or 35 years. Also the number of years on average per generation may very over the centuries within a specific culture as acceptable marital age varies over time, and also can vary from culture to culture. When you are trying to estimate the time in years to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA), the result will differ depending on the number of years used for a generation.

Generation (Insect)

The group of individuals of a given species that have been reproduced at approximately the same time; the group of individuals of the same genealogical rank.

Generation (Paper)

Each succeeding stage in reproduction from original copy.

Generation (Pests)

Period from any given stage in the life cycle to the same life stage in the offspring. Typically from egg to egg.

Generation (Physics High Energy)

A set of one of each charge type of quark and lepton, grouped by mass. The first generation contains the up and down quarks, the electron and the electron neutrino.

Generation (Science)

The average span of time between the birth of parents and that of their offspring

Generation (Uk Power)

The process of producing electricity by transforming other forms of energy such as steam, heat or falling water. Also, the amount of electricity produced, expressed in kilowatt-hours (kWh) or megawatt-hours (MWh)

Generation (Wind Energy)

The conversion of other forms of energy into electricity through the use of equipment. Generation is measured in kilowatt-hours.
