| condensing osteitis | Fusiform thickening or increased density of bones, of unknown cause; it has been considered a form of chronic nonsuppurative osteomyelitis. Synonym: condensing osteitis, Garre's disease. Osteitis tuberculosa multiplex cystica, an osteitis of tuberculous origin, marked by numerous small cavities in the osseous substance. Synonym: Jungling's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| condensing power | Power generated through a final steam turbine stage where the steam is exhausted into a condenser and cooled to a liquid to be recycled back into a boiler. (05 Dec 1998) |
| condensing turbine | A turbine used for electrical power generation from a minimum amount of steam. To increase plant efficiency, these units can have multiple uncontrolled extraction openings for feedwater heating. (05 Dec 1998) |
| condensing vacuole | <cell biology> Vacuole formed from the cis face of the Golgi by the fusion of smaller vacuoles. Within the condensing vacuole the contents are concentrated and may become semi crystalline (zymogen granules or secretory vesicles). (05 Jan 1998) |
| condensing, controlled extraction turbines | A controlled turbine that bleeds off (condenses) part of the main stream flow at one (single extraction) or two (double extraction) points. Used when process steam is required at pressures below the inlet pressure and above the exhaust pressure. (05 Dec 1998) |
| malate-condensing enzyme | <enzyme> An important enzyme in the glyoxylic acid cycle which reversibly catalyses the synthesis of l-malate from acetyl-CoA and glyoxylate. Chemical name: L-Malate glyoxylate-lyase (CoA-acetylating) Registry number: EC 4.1.3.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| focal condensing osteitis | A reaction of bone to a mild bacterial infection, often the result of a carious tooth, in persons with a high degree of tissue resistance; results in a localised radio-opacity. Synonym: focal condensing osteitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
