isochoreとは 意味・読み方・使い方

名詞

isochore (plural isochores)

1. In general, a place or position with relevant parameters matching other places, as in having the same pressure, chemistry, population etc. Even within a single discipline the parameter might vary according to convenience e.g. in physics alone it might refer to velocity, volume, gravity, and many more. cf. contour, isopleth.
   • 1887 Anonymous: Engineering, Volume 43 April 29th page 406

     The numerical results are given from which the authors deduce the relation for constant volume and additional reasons are given for believing acetic acid (whose vapour density at ordinary temperatures is abnormal) to be a mixture of C₂H₄O₂ and C₄H₈0₄, the former preponderating as the temperature rises. The authors ask the Society for a name to designate lines connecting pressure and temperature at constant volume, and for which they suggested “isochore”...

2. (physics) A line drawn on a graph showing the variation of the pressure of a constant volume of gas as it varies with temperature.
   • 1916, William Cudmore McCullagh Lewis, A System of physical chemistry, volume 1, page 92:

     An isochore is a curve on a PVT diagram, the pressure and temperature being variable, the volume invariable.

   • 1956, Enrico Fermi, Thermodynamics, page 7:

     Thus, an isochore transformation in this case is a transformation at constant volume.

3. (geology) A contour showing points of equal vertical thickness of strata; equal to an isopach if strata are horizontal.

4. (genetics) A sequence of DNA that has a reasonably constant proportion of pairs of guanine and cytosine bases, and is rich in genes.
   • 1998, Lindsey R Lindsey, Alan R Lindsey, Transgenic Plant Research, page 268:
