Homoiousion -> "of like substance", made up of similar compounds.
Low viscosity zone -> in plate tectonics, the area under the plates that allow them to slide easily
Biology
acrotism -> the absence / imperceptibility of a pulse (heartbeat)
Alpha-Aminolevulinate, Alpha-Aminolevulinic acid -> "Porphyrin rings are synthesized by assembling eight of these subunits together. In animals, they are created by by their namesake synthase from succinyl-CoA and glycine."
Anfinsen cage, Anfinsen's Cage -> named after Christian B. Anfinsen, a proposed model for chaperone-assisted protein folding in which a chaperone, GroEL for instance, provides an environment in which a denatured protein can unfold and correctly refold. See also Anfinsen's dogma
Guanine Nucleophile Binding proteins -> heterotrimeric signal involved in second messenger cascades that transducing molecules using the exchange of guanosine diphosphate for guanosine triphosphate as a signaling mechanism.
Heterophils -> most common type of granulocyte in bird species.
Inducible systemInducible regulation The type of operon regulation in which the repressor binds to the operator, forming a barrier that prevents RNA polymerase from transcribing the structural genes. [1]
Little bags theory -> set of evolutionary theories, proposing that life evolved from the mixtures of organic chemicals that became trapped in tiny vesicles
Open juncture -> (from Dictionary.com): a transition between successive sounds marked by a break in articulatory continuity, as by a pause or the modification of a preceding or following sound, and often indicating a division between words
Operon model -> model by Jacques Monod and François Jacob model where the manufacture of proteins is prevented when a repressor, encoded by a regulatory gene, binds to its operator, a specific site on the DNA next to the genes encoding the proteins.
Association colloid - "In association colloids molecules of soap or other surface-active substances are associated together to form small aggregates (micelles) in water." [2]
Born-Mayer equation < equation for the cohesive energy of an ionic crystal which is deduced.
Circular reaction -> 3 types of movements or actions that create their own repetition,and states that fugacity of each species in an ideal solution is proportional to the mole fraction of the species.
Hicks decomposition,orients with Earth's current magnetic field before solidifying its orientation. This is how scientists know Earth's magnetic field has changed directions in the past.
Knudsen Effusion method -> " This method for measuring small vapor pressures uses a cylinder with a hole in it as its namesake “cell”. The rate of effusion through the orifice is measured,and combinations.
Randall rule -> This simple law is the analog of Raoult’s Law for fugacity,stepwise elution,Sublimation nucleus < Meteorology: Any particle upon which an ice crystal may grow by the process of sublimation
Sicilian method -> method of extracting sulfur from the surface. The ores are piled in a mound and ignited,from which the sulfur is collected in gaseous form.
Sigmatrophic shifts -> "Another class of pericyclic reactions is this one,his theory of acids and bases,i.e. which tend to attract and condense ambient water vapour.
steam regeneration -> process that increases the thermodynamic efficiency in a real Rankine cycle by heating the condensed working fluid with the high-temperature fluid in the boiler.
Three-five -> Semiconductors made from Gallium Arsenide (in relation to their location on the periodic table)
Weak field - This is the term for ligands which result in less splitting between the HOMO and LUMO energies in the complex,secondary,usually continuing iron,which involves migration of a sigma bond that is flanked at either or both ends by conjugated pi-systems"
Werner's Coordination theory -> "This theory of coordination possesses three postulates: first, most elements exhibit a primary and secondary valence; second, every atom tends to satisfy primary and secondary valence; and third, the secondary valence is directed toward fixed directions in space" -?> Octahedral molecular geometry?
Convection-current theory -> geophysics theory that states that convection currents in the Earth's interior drag the crust, causing the crust to fold and form mountains.
Escape depth -> "Given a material s electron affinity or work function and its mean rate of electron energy loss this value the maximum distance from an emission surface at which an ejected photoelectron may be created can be calculated as a function of photon energy. This length is the critical design parameter for most photoelectronic systems and is on the order of nanometers for most materials."
Frauhoffer diffraction and Fresnel diffraction -> "the two types of diffraction. One involves coherent plane waves upon obstruction by an object, and the other relates plane waves as they emanate from a source."
Landau's ghost -> a problem in which renormalization fails for quantum field theories where asymptotic freedom does not exist due to the null observed charge resulting from the relationship of unrenormalized and actual charges in the limit of extremely high energies. It is named after Lev Landau
Lane's law -> astrophysics law that states that the contraction of a gaseous body, under the influence of gravity or otherwise, generates heat. see Lane–Emden equation
Ten Inch Manipulator -> an imaging device used in high energy density physics "TIM". Standard diagnostic payload carrier for use in space
