| balance | 1. An apparatus for weighing. In its simplest form, a balance consists of a beam or lever supported exactly in the middle, having two scales or basins of equal weight suspended from its extremities. Another form is that of the Roman balance, our steelyard, consisting of a lever or beam, suspended near one of its extremities, on the longer arm of which a counterpoise slides. The name is also given to other forms of apparatus for weighing bodies, as to the combinations of levers making up platform scales; and even to devices for weighing by the elasticity of a spring. 2. Act of weighing mentally; comparison; estimate. "A fair balance of the advantages on either side." (Atterbury) 3. Equipoise between the weights in opposite scales. 4. The state of being in equipoise; equilibrium; even adjustment; steadiness. "And hung a bottle on each side To make his balance true." (Cowper) "The order and balance of the country were destroyed." (Buckle) "English workmen completely lose their balance." (J. S. Mill) 5. An equality between the sums total of the two sides of an account; as, to bring one's accounts to a balance; also, the excess on either side; as, the balance of an account. " A balance at the banker's. " "I still think the balance of probabilities leans towards the account given in the text." (J. Peile) 6. A balance wheel, as of a watch, or clock. See Balance wheel (in the Vocabulary). 7. <astronomy> The constellation Libra. The seventh sign in the Zodiac, called Libra, which the sun enters at the equinox in September. 8. A movement in dancing. See Balance, S. Balance electrometer, a kind of balance, with a poised beam, which indicates, by weights suspended from one arm, the mutual attraction of oppositely electrified surfaces. Balance fish. <medicine> An equilibrium between the money values of the exports and imports of a country; or more commonly, the amount required on one side or the other to make such an equilibrium. Balance valve, a valve whose surfaces are so arranged that the fluid pressure tending to seat, and that tending to unseat the valve, are nearly in equilibrium; especially, a puppet valve which is made to operate easily by the admission of steam to both sides. See Puppet valve. Hydrostatic balance. See Hydrostatic. To lay in balance, to put up as a pledge or security. To strike a balance, to find out the difference between the debit and credit sides of an account. Origin: OE. Balaunce, F. Balance, fr. L. Bilan, bilancis, having two scales; bis twice (akin to E. Two) + lanx plate, scale. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| balance theory | In social psychology, a theory which assumes that steady and unsteady states can be specified for cognitive units, such as an individual and his or her attitudes or acts, and that such units tend to seek steady states (balance); e.g., balance exists when both parts of a unit are evaluated the same, but disequilibrium arises when both parts are not evaluated the same, which causes either cognitive reevaluation of the parts or their segregation. See: cognitive dissonance theory, consistency principle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced anaesthesia | A technique of general anaesthesia based on the concept that administration of a mixture of small amounts of several neuronal depressants summates the advantages, but not the disadvantages of, the individual components of the mixture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced articulation | The simultaneous contacting of the upper and lower teeth on the right and left and in the anterior and posterior occlusal areas in centric and eccentric positions within the functional range; used primarily in reference to the mouth, but also arranged and observed on articulators, developed to prevent a tipping or rotating of the denture bases in relation to the supporting structures. Synonym: balanced articulation, balanced bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced bite | The simultaneous contacting of the upper and lower teeth on the right and left and in the anterior and posterior occlusal areas in centric and eccentric positions within the functional range; used primarily in reference to the mouth, but also arranged and observed on articulators, developed to prevent a tipping or rotating of the denture bases in relation to the supporting structures. Synonym: balanced articulation, balanced bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced chromosome | <genetics> A chromosome which is unable to pair with its homologue and participate in homologus recombination during meiosis because it contains several inversion mutations (that is, has segments which have become flip-flopped). (09 Oct 1997) |
| balanced diet | A diet containing the essential nutrients with a reasonable ration of all the major food groups. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced lethal system | <genetics> A population with non-linked, recessive alleles of a gene, where an individual who has two copies of the recessive allele and is therefore homozygous is dead, while an individual who has only one copy of it, and one copy of a different allele (and is heterozygous) survives. (09 Oct 1997) |
| balanced occlusion | The simultaneous contacting of the upper and lower teeth on the right and left and in the anterior and posterior occlusal areas in centric and eccentric positions within the functional range; used primarily in reference to the mouth, but also arranged and observed on articulators, developed to prevent a tipping or rotating of the denture bases in relation to the supporting structures. Synonym: balanced articulation, balanced bite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| balanced polymorphism | <genetics> A type of polymorphism where the many morphs are alleles. The polymorphism is maintained in a population rather than the norm of one allele eventually becoming the only allele in the population, because individuals who are heterozygous, or have two different alleles, are more adaptive (more fit) than individuals who are homozygous, or have two copies of the same allele. (09 Oct 1997) |
| balanced stock | <genetics> A genetic strain of any of several lab organisms (like fruit flies) which can be maintained as heterozygous individuals without requiring constant artificial selection for the heterozygotes, due to a number of lethal recessive genes with the result that the homozygous females are sterile (unable to produce offspring) and the males with the wrong recessive alleles are dead. (Male fruit flies are not homozygous or heterozygous because they only have one allele per particular genetic loci in question). (09 Oct 1997) |
| balanced translocation | <genetics> A number of the chromosomal mutations called translocations, where a segment of DNA abnormally becomes attached to the wrong chromosome, which results in two nonhomologous chromosomes being able to cross over, something which normally can occur only between homologous chromosomes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| balancer | 1. One who balances, or uses a balance. 2. <zoology> In Diptera, the rudimentary posterior wing. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| balancing contact | The contact's between upper and lower dentures on the balancing or mediotrusive side for the purpose of stabilizing the dentures, the contact's between upper and lower dentures at the opposite side from the working or laterotrusive side (anteroposteriorly or laterally) for the purpose of stabilizing the dentures, the contact's between upper and lower natural or artificial teeth at the opposite side from the working or laterotrusive side. Synonym: balancing occlusal surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
