A graphical interface program to view the World Wide Web.

Mosaic is the Web browser we all have to thank as the foundation that brought the Web to the masses — and the product that first made the uber-geeks shake their heads and say, "There goes the neighborhood." NCSA Mosaic, developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, was the first Web browser that allowed you to display in-line graphics. In other words it showed pictures right in the browser instead of forcing you to use an external program. although it sounds mundane now, this was a major breakthrough for those of us used to straight ASCII text on the Net. Since then, browsers have added more and more functionality. Now they play sound and video in-line, and are even threatening to take over your computer desktop entirely.

NCSA Mosaic was originally designed and programmed for the X Window System by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina at NCSA. Version 1.0 was released in April 1993, followed by two maintenance releases during summer 1993. Version 2.0 was released in December 1993, along with version 1.0 releases for both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows. An Acorn Archimedes port is underway (May 1994).

It may be a technique of decorative art, an aspect of interior decoration or of cultural and spiritual significance as in a cathedral. Small tiles or fragments of pottery (known as tesserae, diminutive tessellae) or of colored glass or clear glass backed with metal foils are used to create a pattern or picture.

The substitution of portions of a gene with sequences acquired from another site or another organism via genetic recombination. Comparative sequence analysis indicates that many genes are composed of a "patchwork" of sequences derived from multiple recombination events.

The intermingling of plant communities and their successional stages in such a manner as to give the impression of an interwoven design.

characteristic symptom of viral diseases where variegated patterns of dark green to yellow form in leaves.

a pattern resembling a mosaic

a plurality of non-overlapping images, arranged in some tessellation

Mosaic is a variegated pattern of shades of greens and yellows in normally green leaves. Also characterized by intermingled patches of normal and light green or yellowish color. A common symptom of many viruses.

Complex pattern or patchwork of habitats or species occurring in intimate associations

A pattern of vegetation in which two or more kinds of communities are interspersed in patches, such as clumps of shrubs with grassland between.

a patchwork of vegetation in which two or more types of plant communities are interspersed in an irregular pattern (see vegetation mosaic).

Disease symptom characterized by nonuniform foliage coloration, with a more or less distinct intermingling of normal and light green or yellowish patches. Usually caused by a virus.

A pattern of light green and dark green, or green and yellow, patches in a leaf that may be due to virus infection.

Pattern made up of many closely fitting pieces. Parent Term: Pattern Difficulty Level

A pattern formed by clumps of different objects arranged with more or less regularity over a surface.

A symptom on leaves with the appearance of intermingled patches of normal and light green or yellowish patterns. This is usually a viral disease.

A common symptom induced in leaves by many plant virus infections in which there is a pattern of dark green, light green and sometimes chlorotic areas. This pattern is often associated with the distribution of veins in the leaf. In monocotyledonous leaves it shows as stripes. ( 10)

an organism that contains cells of different genotypes

a person with a combination of two cell lines with different karyotypes (normal and abnormal)

Possessing two or more genetically different cell types; an early embryo is said to be mosaic when some of its cells exhibit chromosomal abnormalities while others appear chromosomally normal.

An individual or tissue containing two or more types of genetically different cells. All females are mosaics because of X-chromosome inactivation (lyonization). See the entire definition of Mosaic

Individual derived from a single fertilised egg, but where an error in cell division or a new mutation leads to cells of two or more different genotypes.

In genetics, an organism made of a mixture of cells with different genotypes.

In genetics, this refers to an individual organism that has two or more kinds of genetically different cell types. The degree of abnormality depends on the type of tissue containing affected cells. Individuals may vary from near normal to full manifestation of the genetic syndrome. Can occur in any chromosome abnormality syndrome.

A chimera; a tissue containing two or more genetically distinct cell types or an individual composed of such tissues.

An individual composed of more than one genetically distinguishable cell population derived from a single zygote.

In medicine (genetics), a mosaic or mosaicism denotes the presence of two populations of cells with different genotypes in one individual, who has developed from a single fertilized egg. Mosaicism may result from a mutation during development which is propagated to only a subset of the adult cells.

a photographic reproduction of a series of aerial photographs put together in such a way that the detail of one photograph matches the detail of all adjacent photographs

A mosaic protein is a modular protein that, rather than including multiple tandem repeats of the same module, is composed of a number of different modules, each conferring different aspects of the parent protein¡¯s overall functionality (e.g., the calcium independent latrotoxin receptor, a mosaic of EGF-like and laminin G-like modules).

A single image composed of multiple photographs arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. Compare to panorama.

Two or more overlapping aerial photographs assembled together.

A large sequential composite of individual photographs showing a continuous overview of a project site from beginning to end.

An assemblage of overlapping images, whose edges have been matched to form a continuous representation of the Earth's surface.

viral disease in solanaceous plants (tomatoes, potatoes, tobacco) resulting in mottling and often shriveling of the leaves

Leaf mottling and yellowing symptoms, typical of certain viral diseases.

See FPA - focal plane array. Narcissus Effect An optical phenomenon of scanning systems which describes how a detector can look back at itself or view a mixture of active scene and itself for certain angles of scan. The narcissus effect creates blurry cold areas on screen in an infrared system.

A method of patchy burning which creates areas of burnt and unburnt country across a landscape.

Areas with a variety of plant communities over a landscape, such as areas with trees and areas without trees occurring over a landscape. ( FS People's Glossary of Eco Mgmt Terms)

A big image made by combining smaller images. For example, to get an image of a whole province in Canada, we must combine many images. This is tricky because the images were probably taken at different times and possibly in different seasons so they could look different in colour or brightness.

a series of images taken on a single plane

A map or satellite image, compiled from several different images.

CCD chips are usually small, and many deep-sky astronomical objects are big. Many CCDs, especially if used with long focal length telescopes, will not be able to fit a large object into the field of view. One solution is to make a mosaic using multiple images of smaller section of the object. Slightly overlapping images are taken of sections of the object and are combined in the computer.

Process of assembling GIS database files for adjacent areas into a single file.
