| unicursal | <geometry> That can be passed over in a single course; said of a curve when the coordinates of the point on the curve can be expressed as rational algebraic functions of a single parameter <theta/. As <theta/ varies minus infinity to plus infinity, to each value of <theta/ there corresponds one, and only one, point of the curve, while to each point on the curve there corresponds one, and only one, value of <theta/. Straight lines, conic sections, curves of the third order with a nodal point, curves of the fourth order with three double points, etc, are unicursal. Origin: Uni- + L. Currere, cursum, to run.

| unifamilial | Relating to or occurring in a single family; denoting especially a nervous disease attacking several of the children in the same family in which no hereditary trait is apparent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| unified medical language system | A research and development program initiated by the national library of medicine to build an intelligent automated system that can understand biomedical concepts, words, and expressions and their interrelationships, and use this understanding to help users retrieve and organise information from a variety of machine-readable sources. The goal of the umls is to compensate for differences in the terminology of the disparate systems and for variations in user modes of expression. The umls project has produced four knowledge sources meant to be used by user interface programs. These are the metathesaurus, the semantic network, the information sources map, and the specialist lexicon. (12 Dec 1998) |
| unifilar | Having only one thread; involving the use of only one thread, wire, fibre, or the like; as, unifilar suspension. <physics> Unifilar magnetometer, an instrument which consists of a magnetic bar suspended at its center of gravity by a long thread, constituting a delicate means for accurately measuring magnetic intensities, also for determining declinations of the magnetic needle. Origin: Uni- + L. Filum a thread. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| uniflagellate | <biology> Having but one flagellum; as, uniflagellate organisms. Origin: Uni- + flagellate. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

Name given to two quite different structures in Protozoa; in some Mastigophora it is a fin-like ridge across the surface of a cell, with the axoneme of a flagellum near its surface; in some ciliates it is a line of cilia that are fused at their bases, usually beating to force food particles toward the gullet.
