In mathematics, a unitary transformation may be informally defined as a transformation mathematics transformation that respects the inner product the inner product of two vectors before the transformation is equal to their inner product after the transformation. More precisely, a unitary transformation is an isomorphism between two Hilbert space s. In other words, a unitary transformation is a bijective function math U H 1 to H 2 , math where math H 1 math and math H 2 math are Hilbert spaces, such that math langle Ux, Uy rangle langle x, y rangle math for all math x math and math y math in math H 1 math . A unitary transformation is an isometry , as one can see by setting math x y math in this formula. In the case when math H 1 math and math H 2 math are the same space, a unitary transformation is an automorphism of that Hilbert space, and then it is also called a unitary operator . A closely related notion is that of antiunitary transformation , which is a bijective function math U H 1 to H 2 , math between two complex number complex Hilbert spaces such that math langle Ux, Uy rangle overline langle x, y rangle langle y, x rangle math for all math x math and math y math in math H 1 math , where the horizontal bar represents the complex conjugate .

hatnote In genetics, Transformation genetics transformation is also used to describe the incorporation of foreign DNA by bacteria. Malignant transformation is the process by which cells acquire the properties of cancer . This may occur as a primary process in normal tissue, or secondarily as malignant degeneration of a previously existing benign tumor . There are many causes of primary malignant transformation, or tumorigenesis . The underlying commonality is genetic mutation either by inheritance or more commonly by acquiring mutations in one s DNA over time. Although malignant transformation may occur because of changes within the cell, it can be induced by inorganic toxic substances such as cadmium or arsenite and organics such as tobacco specific nitrosamines . It is also thought that some malignant transformations are due to viruses such as the Epstein Barr virus, although this is currently restricted to just a few cancer types. A more common cancer associated with viral infection is cervical cancer , which has been linked to the human papilloma virus . Malignant transformation of cells in a benign tumor may be detected by pathology pathologic examination of tissues. Often the clinical signs and symptoms are suggestive of a malignant tumor. The physician, during the medical history examination, can find that there have been changes in size or patient sensation and, upon direct examination, that there has been a change in the lesion itself. Risk assessment s can be done and are known for certain types of benign tumor which are known to undergo malignant transformation.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Viral transformation most commonly refers to the virus induced malignant transformation of an animal cell biology cell in a body or cell culture . In molecular biology , the term may also refer to the transfection of DNA into a host cell using a viral vector . Virus induced malignant transformation See also Malignant transformation Viral transformation can impose characteristically determinable features upon a cell. Typical phenotype phenotypic changes include high saturation density, anchorage independent growth, loss of contact inhibition, loss of orientated growth, immortalisation, disruption of the cell s cytoskeleton . Epidemiological studies suggest that malignant transformation of cells by viruses occurs via multiple steps. This involves initiation, promotion and progression events. Viruses act along with other factors to transform cells. The persistence of at least part of the viral genome within the cell is required for cell transformation. This is accompanied by the continual expression from a number of viral gene s. These genes interfere with a cell s signal transduction signaling pathway causing the observed phenotypic changes of the cell. The end result is a transformed cell showing increased cell division, which is favorable to the virus. Transformation using viral vectors The term transformation genetics transformation is also used for the introduction of foreign DNA into cells, which can be achieved using a viral vector to transfer the DNA. This process is also referred to as transfection or transduction genetics transduction , respectively.

In mathematics, a rigid transformation or a Euclidean transformation is a transformation from a Euclidean space to itself that preserves distances between every pair of points isometry . Rigid transformations include rotation mathematics rotations , translation mathematics translations , reflection mathematics reflections , or their combination. Sometimes reflections are excluded from the definition of a rigid transformation by imposing that the transformation also preserve the orientation mathematics handedness of figures in the Euclidean space a reflection would not preserve handedness for instance, it would tranform a left hand into a right hand . To avoid ambiguity, this smaller class of transformations is known as proper rigid transformations informally, also known as roto translations . In general, any proper rigid transformation can be decomposed as a rotation followed by a translation, while any rigid transformation can be decomposed as an improper rotation followed by a translation ... transformation, but not after an improper one.

Multiple issues unreferenced December 2009 orphan November 2006 wikify December 2009 Performance Transformation ,or Transformation of Performance , is an Outcome , a result, of actions by an individual, a group or an organisation, to radically Make Different the results they achieve. Overview In a Business context, Performance Transformation , is the Outcome of the capabilities, the thinking and the actions undertaken by the members of the organisation, and those with whom they interact, to radically Make Different the results they achieve. It does not predicate which results are to be different, what the difference s might be, nor what methods may be involved purely that Something s will be Different. There is commonly an underlying implication, and too often unspoken assumption that Different means Better. This area of managerial and leadership knowledge is bedevilled with an excess of sectional theories and solutions and mis use of language. A typical difficulty is where language that relates to an Outcome is used as the description of a Process . as illustrated in this example Performance Transformation aligns a company s competencies to their business strategy and vision. It is linked to their business operations results as human capital, the most important asset in a company its people.

In mathematics , a Tschirnhaus transformation , also known as Tschirnhausen transformation , is a type of mapping on polynomial s developed by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus in 1683. It may be defined conveniently by means of field theory mathematics field theory , as the transformation on minimal polynomial s implied by a different choice of primitive element field theory primitive element . This is the most general transformation of an irreducible polynomial that takes a root to some rational function applied to that root. In detail, let K be a field, and P t a polynomial over K . If P is irreducible, then K t P t L , the quotient ring of the polynomial ring K t by the principal ideal generated by P , is a field extension of K . We have L K &alpha where &alpha is t modulo P . That is, &alpha is a primitive element of L . There will be other choices &beta of primitive element in L for any such choice of &beta we will have &beta F &alpha , &alpha G &beta , with polynomials F and G over K . In fact this follows from the quotient representation above. Now if Q is the minimal polynomial for &beta over K , we can call Q a Tschirnhaus transformation of P . Therefore the set of all Tschirnhaus transformations of an irreducible polynomial is to be described as running over all ways of changing P , but leaving L the same. This concept is used in reducing quintics to Bring&ndash Jerrard form , for example. There is a connection with Galois theory , when L is a Galois extension of K . The Galois group is then described in one way as all the Tschirnhaus transformations of P to itself.

In combinatorics combinatorial mathematics, the notion of transformation is used with several slightly different meanings. Informally, a transformation of a set of N values is an arrangement of those values into a particular order, where values may be repeated, but the ordered list is N elements in length. Thus, there are 27 transformations of the set 1,2,3 , namely 1,1,1 , 1,1,2 , 1,1,3 , 1,2,1 , 1,2,2 , 1,2,3 , 1,3,1 , 1,3,2 , 1,3,3 , 2,1,1 , 2,1,2 , 2,1,3 , 2,2,1 , 2,2,2 , 2,2,3 , 2,3,1 , 2,3,2 , 2,3,3 , 3,1,1 , 3,1,2 , 3,1,3 , 3,2,1 , 3,2,2 , 3,2,3 , 3,3,1 , 3,3,2 , and 3,3,3 . In general there are N sup N sup transformations for a set of N elements. Analogous to a permutation group having elements that are permutation s, a transformation semigroup has elements that are transformations. For N 1, the set of permutations on N values is a proper subset of the set of transformations on N values. References J.
