| bomb calorimeter | An instrument which measures the heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction. It is used for determining the potential energy of organic substances, including those in foods. It consists of a hollow steel container, lined with platinum and filled with pure oxygen, into which a weighed quantity of substance is placed and ignited with an electric fuse; the heat produced is absorbed by water surrounding the bomb and, from the rise in temperature, the calories liberated are calculated.

| bombard | 1. A piece of heavy ordnance formerly used for throwing stones and other ponderous missiles. It was the earliest kind of cannon. "They planted in divers places twelve great bombards, wherewith they threw huge stones into the air, which, falling down into the city, might break down the houses." (Knolles) 2. A bombardment. 3.

A noncommissioned officer in the British artillery. <zoology> Bombardier beetle, a kind of beetle (Brachinus crepitans), so called because, when disturbed, it makes an explosive discharge of a pungent and acrid vapor from its anal glands. The name is applied to other related species, as the B. Displosor, which can produce ten or twelve explosions successively. The common American species is B. Fumans. Origin: F. Bombardier.

| Bombay phenomenon | A rare recessive trait at a locus that ordinarily manufactures H substance, the precursor from which the A and B phenotypes are elaborated; the mutant causes failure to produce H substance and no matter what the genotype at the ABO locus, the phenotype is O. The Bombay phenomenon is epistatic to the ABO locus. Origin: Bombay, India, where first reported (05 Mar 2000) |

| bombesin | <endocrinology> Tetradecapeptide neurohormone with paracrine/autocrine effects first isolated from skin of fire bellied toad Bombina bombina), mammalian equivalent is gastrin-releasing peptide. Bombesin cross reacts with gastrin-releasing peptide receptors. Both are mitogenic for Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts at nanomolar levels. Neuropeptides of this type are found in many tissues and at high levels in pulmonary (small cell carcinoma) and thyroid tumours. (14 Mar 2000) |
| bombic | Pertaining to, or obtained from, the silkworm; as, bombic acid. Origin: L. Bombyx silk, silkworm: cf. F. Bombique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| bombyx | <zoology> A genus of moths, which includes the silkworm moth. See Silkworm. Origin: L, silkworm. See Bombazine. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| atomic bomb | <physics, radiobiology> A weapon with a large explosive power due to the sudden release of energy when the nuclei of heavy atoms such as plutonium-239 or uranium-235 are split. This fission is brought about by the bombardment of the fuel with neutrons, setting off a chain reaction. The bomb releases shock, blast, heat, light, and lethal radiation. The world's first atomic bomb was successfully tested by the United States on July 16, 1945. (13 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| hydrogen bomb | <physics> An extremely powerful type of atomic bomb based on nuclear fusion. The atoms of heavy isotopes of hydrogen (deuterium and tritium) undergo fusion when subjected to the immense heat and pressure generated by the explosion of a nuclear fission unit in the bomb.
