| landau damping | <radiobiology> Damping of a wave propagating in a hot plasma, due to the interaction of the wave with particles whose velocity is close to the phase velocity of the wave. Depends on the shape of the velocity-space distribution function at the phase velocity of the wave. The phenomenon is very similar to surfing on water waves at the beach. If a particle's speed is just slightly lower than the wave, then the particle can catch the wave and surf along at the wave speed. In so doing, the particle will gain some energy, which will be at the expense of the wave. This is called Landau Damping, since the loss of energy tends to damp the wave. At the same time, if a particle moves just slightly faster than the wave, then it will also be caught on the wave. However, in this case, it will slow down, giving the wave some extra energy. In this case particles transfer energy to the wave, this is called inverse Landau damping. Which effect dominates depends on whether there are more particles moving faster than the wave or more particles moving slower. Thus it depends on the derivative of the distribution function with respect to velocity, evaluated at the wave's phase velocity. Landau dmaping can lead to the decay of waves. Inverse Landau damping can be a mechanism for some kinetic instabilities. (09 Oct 1997) |
| barium contrast material | This radiopaque contrast material is either swallowed or given as a enema for the purpose of demonstrating the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract using X-rays. (27 Sep 1997) |
| base material | Any substance from which a denture base may be made, such as shellac, acrylic resin, vulcanite, polystyrene, metal, etc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breeder material | <radiobiology> In D-T fusion, refers to lithium or lithium-containing substances which are placed in the blanket to convert the fusion neutrons back into tritium, using nuclear transmutation of lithium isotopes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| by-product material | Radioactive material produced by nuclear fission or by neutron irradiation in a nuclear reactor or similar device. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radiopaque contrast material | A radiopaque substance (for example metal) will be highlighted (appear white) on a plain X-ray. The use of iodine containing radiopaque contrast dyes allow enhancement of the anatomy demonstrable with conventional X-ray. (27 Sep 1997) |
| genetic material | A gene, a part of a gene, a group of genes, or fragments of many genes, on a molecule of DNA, a fragment of DNA, a group of DNA molecules, or fragments of many DNA molecules. Could refer to anything from a small fragment of DNA to the entire genome of an organism. (09 Oct 1997) |
| parent material | <ecology> The unconsolidated and more or less weathered mineral or organic matter from which the soil profile is developed. (09 Oct 1997) |
| material | 1. Consisting of matter; not spiritual; corporeal; physical; as, material substance or bodies. "The material elements of the universe." (Whewell) 2. Hence: Pertaining to, or affecting, the physical nature of man, as distinguished from the mental or moral nature; relating to the bodily wants, interests, and comforts. 3. Of solid or weighty character; not insubstantial; of cinsequence; not be dispensed with; important. "Discourse, which was always material, never trifling." (Evelyn) "I shall, in the account of simple ideas, set down only such as are most material to our present purpose." (Locke) 4. <logic> Pertaining to the matter, as opposed to the form, of a thing. See Matter. Material cause. See Cause. Material evidence, evidence which conduces to the proof or disproof of a relevant hypothesis. Synonym: Corporeal, bodily, important, weighty, momentous, essential. Origin: L. Materialis, fr. Materia stuff, matter: cf. F. Materiel. See Matter, and cf. Materiel.

| piling unmerchantable material | (PUM) A logging contract requirement to remove and pile unmerchantable woody material of a specified size. (05 Dec 1998) |
| plastic restoration material | In dentistry, any material that may be shaped directly to the tooth cavity, such as amalgam, cement, or resin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contrast material | A substance that is introduced into or around a structure and, because of the difference in absorption of X-rays by the contrast medium and the surrounding tissues, allows radiographic visualisation of the structure. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cross-reacting material | <haematology> A substance sufficiently different from a reference substance (R) to have a perceptibly different function from R but sufficiently similar to R that it reacts with anti-R antibodies; e.g., mutant factor VIII may be defective or even inert in coagulation and yet be immunologically identified as factor VIII.
