| Stephanofilaria stilesi | A skin-infecting species of filaria parasitic in cattle and transmitted by the horn fly, Haematobia irritans; the only species known to occur in the U.S.; characterised by a row of spines behind the mouth of the adult worm, which is 6 to 8 mm in the female, 2 to 3 mm in the male. Both adults and larvae are found in granulomatous skin lesions in cattle, usually on the underside of the abdomen. Origin: G. Stephanos, crown, + filaria (05 Mar 2000) |
| stephanofilariasis | Nfection with filarial parasites of the genus Stephanofilaria, a genus of small filiarial worms (less than 6 mm) causing subcutanneous lesions in cattle and other large grazing mammals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stephanotis | 1. <botany> A genus of climbing asclepiadaceous shrubs, of Madagascar, Malaya, etc. They have fleshy or coriaceous opposite leaves, and large white waxy flowers in cymes. 2. A perfume said to be prepared from the flowers of Stephanotis floribunda. Origin: NL, fr. Gr. Fit for a crown, fr. Crown. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| Stephanurus dentatus | The kidney worm or lard worm of swine, a strongyle nematode parasite species that also occurs, though rarely, in the liver of cattle. Adult worms in swine live in the perirenal fat, the kidney pelvis, or as erratic forms in many other locations. Eggs are passed through the urine and infection is direct, by ingestion of infective larvae or by skin infection, or indirect, by ingestion of earthworms in which the larvae can survive. Origin: G. Stephanos, crown, + oura, tail (05 Mar 2000) |
| steppage | Synonym: steppage gait. Origin: Fr. (05 Mar 2000) |
| steppage gait | A gait in which the advancing foot is lifted higher than usual so that it can clear the ground, because it cannot be dorsiflexed. Seen with peroneal neuropathies and other disorders causing foot dorsiflexion weakness. See: high steppage gait. Synonym: steppage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| steppe | One of the vast plains in Southeastern Europe and in Asia, generally elevated, and free from wood, analogous to many of the prairies in Western North America. See Savanna. Steppe murrain. <veterinary> See Rinderpest. Origin: From Russ. Stepe, through G. Or F. Steppe. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stepping reflex | If the plantar surface of a hind foot of a dog is pressed gently, a movement of extension of the limb will follow, accompanied sometimes by flexion of the opposite hind limb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| steradian | The unit of solid angle; the solid angle that encloses an area on the surface of a sphere equivalent to the square of the radius of the sphere. Origin: G. Stereos, solid, + radion, radius (05 Mar 2000) |
| sterane | The hypothetical parent molecule for any steroid hormone; a saturated hydrocarbon compound that contains no oxygen. The name was originally conceived to achieve forms of systematic nomenclature, but is now supplanted by the fundamental variants: gonane, estrane, androstane, norandrostane (etiane), cholane, cholestane, ergostane, and stigmastane. See: steroids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sterco- | Faeces. See: copro-, scato-. Origin: L. Stercus, excrement (05 Mar 2000) |
| stercobilin | <physiology> A colouring matter found in the faeces, a product of the alteration of the bile pigments in the intestinal canal, identical with hydrobilirubin. Origin: L. Stercus dung + E. Bilin. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| stercolin | <physiology> Same as Serolin . Origin: L. Stercus dung + oleum oil. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| steady state |
In cosmology, the steady state theory is a model developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold, Hermann Bondi and others as an alternative to the Big Bang theory. Although the model had a large number of supporters among cosmologists in the 1950s and 1960s, the number of supporters decreased markedly in the late 1960s and today it is considered a non-standard cosmology. ...

| steady state |
In ionic steady state cells maintain different internal and external concentrations of various ionic species. The interior of the cell is rich in carboxylic acids and cells balance this negative charge by positively charged counterions. Cell membranes leak in sodium and other ions so they actively pump out sodium and calcium ions at the same rate. This is why intracellular sodium ion concentration is much lower than the extracellular concentration. ...

| stereoscope |
Stereographic cards can be used in steroscopes, and are two separate images are printed side-by-side to create the illusion of a three-dimensional image. This is an example of stereoscopy. When stereographic cards are viewed without a stereoscopic viewer the user is required to force his eyes either to cross, or to diverge, so that the two images appear to be three. Then as each eye sees a different image, the effect of depth is achieved in the central image of the three. ...

| steal |
In poker, the term steal is often used as merely a synonym for bluff, but there is a more specific use of the term which is also called an "ante steal" or "blind steal" (depending on whether the game being played uses antes or blinds). This play is used either in late position after several people have folded or when the game is short-handed, and happens most often in tournaments due to the escalating ante/blind structure. ...

| stereoscopic |
Stereoscopy, stereoscopic imaging or 3-D (three-dimensional) imaging is a technique to create the illusion of depth in a photograph, movie, or other two-dimensional image, by presenting a slightly different image to each eye. Many 3D Displays use this method to convey images. It was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838. Stereoscopy is used in photogrammetry and also for entertainment through the production of stereograms. ...
