Linkage is an arrangement where one country agrees to do something only if another country agrees to do something in return. There is no formal linkage between the two agreements He insisted that there could be no linkage with other Mideast problems. In mechanical engineering, a system of solid, usually metallic, links (bars) connected to two or more other links by pin joints (hinges), sliding joints, or ball-and-socket joints to form a closed chain or a series of closed chains. When one link is fixed, the possible movements of the other links relative to the fixed link and to one another depend on the number of links and the number and types of joints. With four pin-connected links, for example, the links all move in parallel planes, and regardless of which link is fixed, the others move in a fixed way relative to the fixed link. With various relative lengths of the links, this four-bar linkage becomes a useful mechanism for converting uniform rotary to non-uniform rotary motion or continuous rotary to oscillatory motion. It is the most commonly used linkage mechanism in machine construction
It is used to describe straight lines and curves in the plane
A direct or indirect causal relationship between two or more systems, where changes in one affect the status of another Linkages among systems are often reflected in the indicators that measure the health of those systems Connections originate from actions, policies, projects, social conditions, economic forces, and environmental changes that affect two or more indicators
The ability to buy (sell) contracts on one exchange (such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange) and later sell (buy) them on another exchange (such as the Singapore International Monetary Exchange)
{i} act of linking; connecting, joining, coupling, binding
Instructions that connect one program to another, providing continuity of executions between the programs
The ability of the mass media to join different elements of society that are not directly connected by interpersonal channels
Physical relationship between markers on a chromosome; the linkage number gives an estimate of the probability that two markers will be inherited together The closer together the markers, the lower the probability that they will be separated during chromosome pairing after fertilization
an associative relation
The act of linking; the state of being linked; also, a system of links
A linkage between two things is a link or connection between them. The linkage of two things is the act of linking or connecting them. No one disputes the direct linkage between the unemployment rate and crime We're trying to establish linkages between these groups and financial institutions. the creation of new research materials by the linkage of previously existing sources
A term describing genes located on the same chromosome
The tendency for certain genes to be inherited together due to their physical proximity on the chromosome (Biotech Basics)
Measures the physical distance between two genes Genes that are close together are unlikely to segregate in a sexual cross Distant genes segregate independently are are then said to be unlinked
A system of straight lines or bars, fastened together by joints, and having certain of their points fixed in a plane
Manner of linking or of being linked; said of the union of atoms or radicals in the molecule
linkage disequilibrium
A non-random association of two or more alleles at two or more loci; normally caused by an interaction between genes, and often illustrated on a pairwise linkage disequilibrium diagram (HapMap)
linkage section
The part of the data division of a COBOL program that describes the format of variables and constants passed to the program as parameters, either from JCL or from a calling program
linkage map
(Biyoloji) A map of the genes on a chromosome based on linkage analysis. A linkage map does not show the physical distances between genes but rather their relative positions, as determined by how often two gene loci are inherited together. The closer two genes are (the more tightly they are linked), the more often they will be inherited together. Linkage distance is measured in centimorgans (cM)
linkage coefficient
coefficient that indicates changes that have begun in the index or exchange rate
linkage continuity
possibility to open a new savings account that is related to the financial index or exchange rate that was used in the previous account
linkage differentials
updating the amount of a fund after changes in the financial index
linkage editor
an editor program that creates one module from several by resolving cross-references among the modules
linkage group
any pair of genes that tend to be transmitted together; "the genes of Drosophila fall into four linkage groups
linkage group
A pair or set of genes on a chromosome that tend to be transmitted together. All the genes on a single chromosome. They are inherited as a group; during cell division they act and move as a unit rather than independently. Variations in linkage groups can occur if a chromosome breaks, and the sections join with the partner chromosome if it has broken in the same places. This exchange of genes between chromosomes, called crossing-over, usually occurs during meiosis. Sex linkage is the tendency of a characteristic to be linked to one sex; sex-linked traits in humans include red-green colour blindness and hemophilia
backward linkage
An effect in which increased production by a downstream manufacturer provides positive pecuniary externalities to an upstream manufacturer
brand linkage
the degree to which the consumer understands a commercial’s message is for a specific brand of product rather than the product category

* If viewers remember a funny commercial was for tissues instead of the brand Puffs, then the ad has poor brand linkage.

pairwise linkage disequilibrium diagram
A triangular graphical representation of linkage disequilibrium in which different colours represent different magnitudes of linkage between pairs of loci
adjudication of interest and linkage
court decision regarding the payment of interest on the capital and attaching it to the index or to the exchange rate
consumer price index linkage
attachment to the consumer price index (measure of prices of goods bought by the consumer)
continuous linkage
savings account that is linked to the same rate of inflation or to the same dollar rate as a prior account
cross-linkage
a side bond that links two adjacent chains of atoms in a complex molecule
dollar linkage
rating other currencies to the value of the dollar
full linkage
determining a value while allowing for any changes that may transpire

updating of the amount of interest caused by changes in the stock exchange or the rate of exchange
linkages
Relationships requiring the movement of goods or people from one location to another
linkages
(between urban and rural settlements) Urban areas are usually linked to surrounding rural areas in ways which create inter-dependencies between urban and rural well-being For example, rural businesses may use the urban center as a place to market their goods and sell their produce; while businesses in urban centers may benefit from the consumer power of rural residents
linkages
plural of linkage
linkages
(n) Rigid bodies (parts) that transmit linear or rotational force Linkages are multiple links that are combined through joints Constraints applied to the joints define the movement of the individual links Common types of linkages include rocker arm, crank, lever, and four-bar
partial linkage
linkage which does not reflect all of the changes in the financial index or the exchange rate
sex linkage
The condition in which a gene responsible for a specific trait is located on a sex chromosome, resulting in sexually dependent inheritance of the trait
sex linkage
an association between genes in sex chromosomes that makes some characteristics appear more frequently in one sex than in the other
steering linkage
mechanism consisting of a system of rods and levers connected to the front wheels of a motor vehicle; the steering gear pushes the steering linkage left or right which swivels the front wheels causing the vehicle to turn
steering linkage
(Otomotiv) The system that connects the steering wheel to the front wheels and allows the wheels to change direction in response to commands from the driver. Contains grease fittings to cushion against wear and friction
without interest or linkage
