| science | The study of the material universe or physical reality in order to understand it. This is done by making observations and collecting data about natural events and conditions, then organising and explaining them with hypotheses, theories, models, laws, and principles. The organised body of knowledge about the material universe which can be verified or tested. A particular branch of either the process of study or the body of knowledge, such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, and physics. (09 Oct 1997) |
| scientific | 1. Of or pertaining to science; used in science; as, scientific principles; scientific apparatus; scientific observations. 2. Agreeing with, or depending on, the rules or principles of science; as, a scientific classification; a scientific arrangement of fossils. 3. Having a knowledge of science, or of a science; evincing science or systematic knowledge; as, a scientific chemist; a scientific reasoner; a scientific argument. "Bossuet is as scientific in the structure of his sentences." (Lander) Scientific method, the method employed in exact science and consisting of: (a) Careful and abundant observation and experiment. (b) generalisation of the results into formulated "Laws" and statements. Origin: F. Scientifique; L. Scientia science + facere = to make. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| scientific feasibility | <radiobiology> Fusion will be considered scientifically feasible when (a) experiments are done which reach scientific breakeven-type plasma conditions (see entry on breakeven), and (b) the experimental results suggest that the approach can be scaled up into a power-producing system. Tokamak fusion reactors are closing in on (a), and tokamak researchers think (b) holds as well, so they are designing a power-producing machine (ITER) to demonstrate net energy production from tokamak fusion. Inertial confinement is also approaching this point. (09 Oct 1997) |
| scientific integrity review | Designation for reports by the united states office of research integrity, identifying questionable research published in articles or books. Notification of the questionable data is carried in the nih guide for grants and contracts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scientific method | The universally-accepted, organised approach to the study of science, which consists of the following steps: 1. Observation - collecting data. 2. Hypothesis - forming a preliminary possible explanation of the data. 3. Testing - test the hypothesis by collecting more data. 4. Results - interpreting the results of the test and deciding if the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis is rejected if the results contradict it, showing that it is wrong. 5. Conclusion - stating a conclusion that can be evaluated independently by others. (09 Oct 1997) |
| scientific misconduct | Intentional falsification of scientific data by presentation of fraudulent or incomplete or uncorroborated findings as scientific fact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scientism | The methods, activities, and principles which are typical to science. The concept that other areas besides science can and should be studied in a scientific manner, for example the humanities. (09 Oct 1997) |

| scillain | <chemistry> A glucoside extracted from squill (Scilla) as a light porous substance. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| scillaren | A mixture of glycosides, possessing digitalis-like actions, present in squill. Scillaren A, a crystalline steroidal glycoside, present in squill (Scilla maritima), that can be hydrolyzed to glucose and proscillaridin A; the latter can be hydrolyzed to rhamnose and the steroid aglycone scillaridin A; same actions and uses as digitalis glycosides. Synonym: transvaalin. Scillaren B, an amorphous glycosidal fraction obtained from squill, consisting of at least seven cardioactive glycosides: glucoscillaren A, scillipheoside, glucoscillipheoside, scillicryptoside, scilliglaucoside, scillicyanoside, and scillazuroside.
