| subconscious memory | Information not immediately available for recall. (05 Mar 2000) |

| immunological memory | <immunology> The systems responsible for the situation where reactions to a second or subsequent exposure to an antigen are more extensive than those seen on first exposure (but See immunological tolerance. The memory is best explained by clonal expansion and persistence of such clones following the first exposure to antigen. (18 Nov 1997) |
| immunologic memory | <immunology> The ability to rapidly produce large quantities of specific immune cells after subsequent exposure to a previously encountered antigen. (09 Oct 1997) |
| temporary memory | <psychology> Temporary storage of information for a few seconds to hours, as opposed to long-term memory which refers to material stored for days, years, or a lifetime. (12 Dec 1998) |
| long-term memory | That phase of the memory process considered the permanent storehouse of information which has been registered, encoded, passed into the short-term memory, coded, rehearsed, and finally transferred and stored for future retrieval; material and information retained in LTM underlies cognitive abilities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Abbe's law of limiting resolution | <physics> For a periodic structure of units separated by distance d and obliquely illuminated by the unrefracted ray and one of the two diffracted rays (extremely oblique illumination). Abbe applied the law of diffraction: d = 0.5 lambda /NA, where: lambda = wavelength of the monochromic light or shortest of mixed wavelengths NA = the limiting numerical aperture (NA) of objective or condenser. (05 Aug 1998) |
| all or none law | Consistently total response to any effective stimulus. Synonym: all or none law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| American Law Institute formulation | Used in certain jurisdictions to determine criminal responsibility in legal proceedings. See: criminal insanity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| American Law Institute rule | A test of criminal responsibility (1962): "a person is not responsible for criminal conduct if at the time of such conduct as a result of mental disease or defect he lacks substantial capacity either to appreciate the wrongfulness of his conduct or to conform his conduct to the requirements of law." (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ampere's law | <physics> General equation in electromagnetism relating the magnetic field and the currents generating it. The various forms of the equation can be found in an introductory electromagnetism text. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Angstrom's law | A substance absorbs light of the same wavelength as it emits when luminous. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arndt's law | An obsolete law stating that weak stimuli excite physiologic activity, moderately strong ones favour it, strong ones retard it, and very strong ones arrest it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arrhenius law | The theory of electrolytic dissociation (1887) that became the basis of our modern understanding of electrolytes: in an electrically conductive solution (e.g., acid, base, or salt), free ions are present before electrolysis, and the proportion of molecules dissociated into ions can be calculated from measurements of electrical conductivity as well as of osmotic pressure. Synonym: Arrhenius law. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Avogadro's law | Equal volumes of gases contain equal numbers of molecules, the conditions of pressure and temperature being the same. Synonym: Ampere's postulate, Avogadro's hypothesis, Avogadro's postulate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baer's law | The general organ characteristics found in all members of a group appear earlier in embryogenesis than the special organ characteristics that distinguish specific members of the group; this law is the predecessor of the recapitulation theory. (05 Mar 2000) |
