- (conformation) a symmetrical arrangement of the parts of a thing
- (conformation) shape: any spatial attributes (especially as defined by outline); "he could barely make out their shapes"
- (conformation) conformity: acting according to certain accepted standards; "their financial statements are in conformity with generally accepted accounting practices"
- (Conformation (chemistry)) In chemistry, conformational isomerism is a form of stereoisomerism in which the isomers can be interconverted exclusively by rotations about formally single bonds. ...
- (Conformation (dog)) Conformation in dogs refers solely to the externally visible details of a dog's structure and appearance, as defined in detail by each dog breed's written breed standard. ...
- (Conformation (horse)) Equine conformation evaluates the degree of correctness of a horse's bone structure, musculature, and its body proportions in relation to each other. Undesirable conformation can limit the ability to perform a specific task. ...
- (conformation) The geometrical arrangement in polymers arising from rotation about adjacent carbon-carbon single bonds.
- (conformation) the appropriate alignment of the alpaca's body structure in proportion to the whole animal.
- (Conformation) The physical attributes of and bodily proportions of a horse; how it is put together.
- (Conformation) The body form or physical traits of an animal or parts of the animal in the case of udder conformation.
- (Conformation) The form and structure, make and shape; arrangement of the parts in conformance with breed standards
- (Conformation) refers to the way a molecule folds itself in three-dimensional space based on the rotation around carbon-carbon single bonds; configuration (such as R or S configuration of a chiral center or cis or trans configuration of double bonds) refers to the specific orientation of atoms, ...
- (Conformation) a trial event in which the terrier is judged on the degree in which various angles and parts of the body agree or harmonize with each other (based on a breed standard). ...
- (Conformation) The three-dimensional arrangement adopted by a molecule, usually a complex macromolecule. Molecules with the same configuration can have more than one conformation.
- (Conformation) A dog sport where a dog is examined by a judge for how close it comes to matching (or conforming to) the breed standard for that particular breed of dog. For mixed-breed dogs, this includes general soundness and balance as well as excellent temperment and manners. ...
- (Conformation) A molecular geometry that differs from other geometries chiefly by rotation about single or triple bonds; distinct conformations (termed con formers) are associated with distinct potential wells. ...
- (Conformation) Features of the external morphology (i.e., the relative musculoskeletal dimensions) of a horse that interest breeders and exhibitors, not least because they can affect its performance (Loch, 1977).
- (Conformation) The ability of a precision insert bearing to match the shape and contour of a shaft surface even after it has been in use for some time.
- (Conformation) The build of a horse that is determines how likely it is to be healthy
- (Conformation) The overall build and appearance of a horse. Often used to compare an individual horse to its breed standard.
- (Conformation) The proportionate development of carcass parts or wholesale cuts, and the ratio of muscle to bone.
- (Conformation) The structure of a thoroughbred’s body, as determined by the arrangement and harmony of its parts.
- (Conformation) Visual or measurable variation in shape or body proportions of animals. Sometimes assessed with a subjective scoring system as in type scores for dairy cattle.
- (conformation) the desirable physical characteristics (body structure) of the donkey
- (Conformations) Varying progressive versions of a film that is in the editing stage.
