Definitions for "Vector"
a plasmid, virus, or other vehicle for carrying a DNA sequence into the cells of another species; also a method (such as genetically engineered viruses or bacteria) of delivering genetic material to cells.
An insect or any living carrier that transports an infectious agent from an infected individual or its wastes to a susceptible individual or its food or immediate surroundings.
In epidemiology, this refers to an agent, usually insect or animal, able to carry pathogens from one organism to another. In genetics, this is a genetic alement able to incorporate DNA and be replicated in a cell.
A directed quantity, as a straight line, a force, or a velocity. Vectors are said to be equal when their directions are the same and their magnitudes equal. Cf. Scalar.
A datum with more than one component. In physics, velocity has a direction and a magnitude. In computing, often refers to a block of data (as in Vector Processor) which might be pixels.
Any quantity, such as force velocity, or acceleration, which has both magnitude and direction at each point in space, as opposed to scalar which has magnitude only. Such a quantity may be represented geometrically by an arrow of length proportional to its magnitude, pointing in the assigned direction.
Same as Radius vector.
A technology whereby an image is drawn using mathematically calculated control points and smooth lines. This is an analog technology, and there are hypothetically an infinite number of possible image shapes possible. Vector technologies are prone to failure and rumored to represent an increased risk of electromagnetic radiation exposure.
A coordinate based geographic data structure (in contrast to raster)often used to represent linear features.

A heading given by a controller to a pilot on the basis of radar-derived information to provide navigational guidance. also called: radar vectoring Fr: vecteur
An indexable container class. Elements are accessed using a key that represents their position in the container. Provides fast random access to elements. Addition to the end of a vector is efficient. Insertion into the middle is not efficient.
a contiguous block of memory allocated together and has random access
a fixed-size sequence of Lisp objects, each element may be accessed in constant time--unlike lists where the time taken to access an element is proportional to the position of the element
Vector is a new wave rock band formed in Sacramento, California in the early 1980's by Jimmy Abegg, Steve Griffith and Charlie Peacock. The band had several drummers over the years, including Aaron Smith and Bruce Spencer, both also played drums for The 77s.

an organism or force of nature that spreads an organism to a new area; a path, or method, of invasion. For example, a major vector in zebra mussel invasion is ballast water; the zebra mussels travel from their native waters into new regions when ballast water collected in their native ranges is discharged into non-native waters.
