Locus

locus

1. (in many legal phrases) a place or area, esp the place where something occurred

2.Maths a set of points whose location satisfies or is determined by one or more specified conditions

3.Genetics the position of a particular gene on a chromosome

Locus

a linear section of a chromosome occupied by a gene.

Using genetic and cytological methods, it is possible to determine the location of a gene, that is, to find which chromosome contains the given gene and its locus, or position in relation to other genes on the same chromosome. It has been demonstrated in some microorganisms that genes that control a particular sequence of biochemical reactions are found in neighboring loci, which are arranged in the same order as the order in which the reactions occur. This has not been established for higher organisms. The term “locus” is sometimes used in the literature as a synonym for the terms “gene” and “cistron.”

locus

[′lō·kəs]

(genetics)

The fixed position of a gene in a chromosome, occupied by allele.

(mathematics)

A collection of points in a Euclidean space whose coordinates satisfy one or more algebraic conditions.

Locus

A distributed system project supporting transparent access to
data through a network-wide file system.

The available indigenous research work have explored different psychological issues of breast cancer population but none of these had explored emotional intelligence and health locus of control constructs among this population.

Researcher focused on life satisfaction and with high behavior outcome contingency expectations or locus of control and achievements challenges, commitment, interest failure and self-perceived competence (Bandura, 1997).

Among the studies of the relationship between locus of control and moral disengagement, Detert, Trevino, and Sweitzer (2008) found that people with an external locus of control were more likely than were people with an internal locus of control to blame external factors and diffuse responsibility using legitimate external factors.

After the exact test, statistical significance was assessed at each locus with the P-value of the test statistic, and statistical significance is reported here both before and after sequential Bonferroni adjustment (Rice, 1989).

Further studies also substantiate that generalized indecision patterns are associated with a set of dysfunctional psychological characteristics such as high levels of anxiety (Hartman, 1990; Santos, 2001), an external locus of control (Fuqua & Hartman, 1983), low self-confidence and self-esteem (Frost & Shows, 1993), poorly defined sense of identity and difficulty in the process of psychological separation from parents (Hartman, 1990).

The paper is structured as follows: Section 2 gives basic knowledge of exploring loci of points, in Section 3 loci in a plane are investigated in two examples and finally in Section 4 we demonstrate a locus in 3D.
