  • acetification: formation of acetic acid in wine by bacteria Acetobacter(Bacterium aceti)
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • acidification: addition of tartaric or citric acid to musts or wines
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • adrift: Floating at random; not fastened by any kind of moorings; at the mercy of winds and currents; loose from normal anchorage. A vessel is said to be adrift when she breaks away from her moorings, warps, and so on
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • air-lift: a pump,used largely in lifting water from wells,where air under pressure is discharged into the water at the bottom of the well in fine bubbles,which mix with the water and reduce the apparent specific gravity of the air-water mixture.The surrounding water causes the resulting mixture of water and air to rise in the discharge pipe to the outlet
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • air-purifying: respiratory equipment whose function is to remove contaminants from otherwise wholesome air
    Category: Medicine

  • airlift: to transport passengers and cargo by use of aircraft
    Category: Defense

  • aliform: a paratracheal parenchyma with winglike lateral extensions,as seen in cross-section
    Category: Botany and zoology

  • ammonification: the biochemical production of NH4-N from N-containing organic compounds
    Category: Chemistry

  • amplification: the ratio between the output signal variations and the control signal variations(for analogue devices only)
    Category: Physics

  • amplification: the increase in magnitude of an electrical signal in transmission from one point to another
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • Amplification: excess Na + activates a transporter that exchanges Na + for Ca 2+; internal positive charges activate voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels; and IP 3 releases Ca 2+ from intracellular stores. The resulting Ca 2+ overload, combined with excess DAG, activates enzymes that increase cellular sensitivity to glutamate and other excitatory stimuli and increase the contribution of the voltagegated Ca 2+ channels. Further build up of Ca 2+ triggers the release of glutamate, thus spreading the toxic cascade to other cells
    Category: Medicine

  • Amplification: The production of additional copies of a chromosomal DNA sequence,found as either intrachromosomal or extrachromosomal DNA.
    Category: Medicine

  • amplified: for arch dams it is based on the assumption that the water load is divided between arch and cantilever elements, that the division may or may not be constant from abutment to abutment for each horizontal element, and that the true division of load is the one which causes equal arch and cantilever deflections in all arches and cantilevers instead of at the crown cantilever only. Further, it assumes that the distribution of load must be such as to cause equal arch and cantilever deflections in all directions; that is, in tangential and rotational directions as well as in radial directions. To accomplish the preceding agreement, it is necessary to introduce internal, self-balancing trial load patterns on the arches of cantilevers
    Category: Building industry

  • amplifier: device for controlling power from a source so that more is delivered at the output than is supplied at the input; device enabling sound to be intensified
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • amplifier: the device used to increase the value of a quantity by means of energy drawn from an external source
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • amplifier: An amplifier is an electronic device that increases the voltage,current,or power of a signal.Amplifiers are used in wireless communications and broadcasting,and in audio equipment of all kinds.They can be categorized as either weak-signal amplifiers or power amplifiers.
    Category: Transport

  • amplifying: the part of an amplifier that is an amplifier in its own right in that it provides either voltage,current or power amplification
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • amplifying: a semiconductor detector in which charge multiplication is produced by a secondary process such as an avalanche
    Category: Physics

  • anseriformes: an order of birds comprising the ducks and the geese, swans, mergansers and screamers
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • antifeeding: A compound which will prevent the feeding of pests on a treated material,without necessarily killing or repelling them.
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • antiferment: substance which inhibit enzymes and thus prevent fermentation
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • antiferments: substance which inhibit enzymes and thus prevent fermentation
    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • antiferromagnetic: a material in which the predominant magnetic phenomenon is antiferromagnetism
    Category: Electrical engineering and energy

  • antiferromagnetic: substance in which the predominant magnetic phenomenon is antiferromagnetism
    Category: Physics

  • antiferromagnetism: a phenomenon by which,in the absence of an applied magnetic field,the magnetic moments of identical neighbouring atoms or ions are held,due to their interaction,in a cancelling arrangement such that the resultant magnetic moment is zero.The alignment of the magnetic moments increases with the applied magnetic field strength
    Category: Physics

  • antiflash: cream used in steel foundries and elsewhere when there is exposure to intense heat for short-term periods
    Category: Labour

  • antifoam: additive used to reduce or eliminate foam
    Category: Medicine

    Category: agriculture, fisheries, forestry - food processing industries

  • antifreeze: a substance which added to a liquid substantially lowers its freezing point
    Category: Mechanical engineering

  • antifriction: the active part of a bearing,consisting of two raceways between which are arranged,equally spaced,rolling solids of revolution(balls or rollers)of small diameter.The raceways are formed by two concentric rings,or by two parallel ring-like disks,or occasionally by one ring and the journal of the shaft
