A serial, created by the Auto-ID Center, that will complement barcodes.

The EPC has digits to identify the manufacturer, product category and the individual item.

Learning, leadership, fellowship.

Motto of Indian River Community College, Ft. Pierce, Florida, USA.

A passage for smoke; such as, a smoke vent or a smokestack.

The duct of a gonad; an oviduct or seminal duct.

1. To lead (a person), by persuasion or some influence or motive that acts upon the will, to some action, condition, belief, etc.; to lead on, move, influence, prevail upon (any one) to do something: "My arguments induced him to vote for the bill."
2. To bring in, introduce (a practice, condition, state of things, custom, law, etc.).
3. To introduce or bring (a person) into the knowledge of something; to initiate, instruct.
4. To bring about or stimulate the occurrence of; to cause: "A drug was used to induce labor." 5. To produce (an electric current or a magnetic charge) by induction.
6. To initiate or increase the production of (an enzyme or other protein) at the level of genetic transcription.
7. In genetics, to cause an increase in the transcription of the RNA of (a gene).

A deliberate procedure to remove, or to expel, an embryo or a fetus before it is viable (able to survive) outside the uterus.

An aerodynamic resistive force that is produced as a consequence of the generation of lift.

Its magnitude is directly proportional to the lift.

The theory that the direction and magnitude of innovative activity is shaped by market forces; such as, prices or supply levels; for example, higher oil prices that lead appliance manufacturers to produce more energy-efficient refrigerators or air conditioners.

1. Something that helps to bring about an action or a desired result; an incentive, stimulus, or reason: "The tax breaks were intended as an inducement to greater reinvestment."
2. The act or process of inducing: "The music was an inducement to sleep."
3. In law, an introductory or background statement explaining the main allegations in a proceeding.
4. Factual matter presented by way of an introduction or background to explain the principal allegations of a legal cause (as with slander or libel).

1. Something that induces, especially a substance that is capable of activating a transcription from specific genes within a cell.
2. A part or structure in an embryo that influences the differentiation of another part.

1. Capable of being induced, caused, or made to take place.
2. Obtainable by induction; derivable; inferable.

1. The property of an electric circuit by which an electromotive force is induced in it as the result of a changing magnetic flux.
2. A circuit element, typically a conducting coil, in which electromotive force is generated by electromagnetic induction.
3. That property of a circuit or device by virtue of which any variation in the current flowing through it induces an electromotive force in the circuit itself (self-inductance) or in another conductor (mutual inductance). Without qualification, it is usually the former.

Also, the magnitude of this, as measured by the ratio of an induced electromotive force to the rate of change of the inducing current.

1. Having been introduced formally or placed in an office, position, etc.
2. In the United States, recruited into a military organization.

Someone who has been inducted (lead) into a military service.

Rendered electro-polar by induction, or brought into the opposite electrical state by the influence of inductive bodies.
