Integration
Definition:
(n.) The act or process of making whole or entire.
(n.) The operation of finding the primitive function which has a given function for its differential coefficient. See Integral.
(n.) In the theory of evolution: The process by which the manifold is compacted into the relatively simple and permanent. It is supposed to alternate with differentiation as an agent in development.
Example Sentences:

(2) The influence of the various concepts for the induction of lateral structure formation in lipid membranes on integral functional units like ionophores is demonstrated by analysing the single channel current fluctuations of gramicidin in bimolecular lipid membranes.
(3) "As the investigation remains live and in order to preserve the integrity of that investigation, it would not be appropriate to offer further comment."
(4) The data on mapping the episomal plasmid integration sites in yeast chromosomes I, III, IV, V, VII, XV are presented.
