| amplitude of accommodation | The difference in refractivity of the eye at rest and when fully accommodated. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| range of accommodation | The distance between an object viewed with minimal refractivity of the eye and one viewed with maximal accommodation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative accommodation | Quantity of accommodation required for single binocular vision for any specified distance, or for any particular degree of convergence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| positive accommodation | The increased refractivity of the eye that occurs when shifting from the distance to a near object. (05 Mar 2000) |
| histologic accommodation | The change in shape of cells to meet altered physical conditions, as the flattening of cuboidal cells in cysts as a result of pressure. Synonym: pseudometaplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| spasm of accommodation | Excessive contraction of the ciliary muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| negative accommodation | The decrease of accommodation that occurs when shifting from near vision to distance vision. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbe theory of image formation | <optics, physics> Abbe's theory is based on the fact that a non-self-luminous particle, which is illuminated by an extraneous source, gives rise to diffracted light rays, in addition to the dioptric pencil. He stated that to form a good microscopical image as many of the diffracted rays as possible should be intercepted by the objective. With closely ruled lines, his theory is easily demonstrated by observing the back lens of the objective, for here the diffracted rays can be observed directly if the aperture diaphragm is closed. It can be shown that, when the illumination is arranged to exclude the diffracted images, resolution is lost. (11 Mar 1998) |
| adsorption theory of narcosis | That a drug becomes concentrated at the surface of the cell as a result of adsorption, and thus alters permeability and metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Altmann's theory | A theory that protoplasm consists of granular particles (called bioblasts) that are clustered and enclosed in indifferent matter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arrhenius-Madsen theory | That the reaction of an antigen with its antibody is a reversible reaction, the equilibrium being determined according to the law of mass action by the concentrations of the reacting substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atomic theory | That chemical compounds are formed by the union of atoms in certain definite proportions; in its modern form, first advanced in 1803 by John Dalton. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baeyer's theory | That carbon bonds are set at fixed angles (109 |
| balance theory | In social psychology, a theory which assumes that steady and unsteady states can be specified for cognitive units, such as an individual and his or her attitudes or acts, and that such units tend to seek steady states (balance); e.g., balance exists when both parts of a unit are evaluated the same, but disequilibrium arises when both parts are not evaluated the same, which causes either cognitive reevaluation of the parts or their segregation. See: cognitive dissonance theory, consistency principle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-oxidation-condensation theory | <biochemistry> That the two carbon fragments split from the fatty acid molecule by beta-oxidation are converted to acetic acid and then condensed to acetoacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
