Core orientation is the process by which the original in situ position or orientation of a core cylinder is determined. (https://wiki.aapg.org/Core_orientation)
A sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule that has the potential to encode a peptide or protein. An ORF contains a start triplet (ATG), which is followed by a series of triplets (each of which encodes an amino acid), and ends with a stop codon (TAA, TAG or TGA). The term is generally applied to sequences of DNA fragments for which no function has yet been determined.

A codon is a DNA or RNA sequence of three nucleotides (a trinucleotide) that forms a unit of genomic information encoding a particular amino acid or signaling the termination of protein synthesis (stop signals).

Bacteriocins produced by species of Pediococcus. They function as antimicrobial peptides against several pathogenic species of ram-Positive Bacteria , including Listeria monocytogenes and are useful as food preservatives, (DeCS/MeSH. Pediocoins. https://decs.bvsalud.org/en/ths/resource/?id=56561)
Doxorubicin is an antibiotic derived from the Streptomyces peucetius bacterium. It has widespread use as a chemotherapeutic agent since the 1960s. Doxorubicin is part of the anthracycline group of chemotherapeutic agents. (Johnson-Arbor K, Dubey R. Doxorubicin. [Updated 2023 Aug 8]. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2024 Jan-. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK459232/)
Gari is the finished product obtained by artisanal or industrial processing of cassava tubers (Manihot esculenta Crantz). The processing consists of peeling, washing and grating of the tubers, followed by fermentation,pressing, fragmentation, granulation, drying if necessary, sifting and suitable heat treatment. Gari is presented as flour of variable granule size. (FAO & WHO. 2019. Standard for Gari. Codex Standard, No. CXS 151-1989. Rome. https://www.fao.org/fao-who-codexalimentarius)
Note
The spelling 'garri' is mainly used in Cameroon, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Benin, Togo and 'gari' in Ghana. In some sub-Saharan regions of Africa, it is referred to as 'gali'.
