| tension cavities |
cavities of the lung in which the air pressure is greater than that of the atmosphere, as in tension pneumothorax. Radiologically, they appear as large, spherical, thin-walled defects indicative of productive inflammatory reaction in the bronchus that drains the cavity or of partial stenosis due to peribronchial fibrosis.

| tense |
Tenseness is a term used in phonology to describe a particular vowel quality that is phonemically contrastive in many languages, including English. It has also occasionally been used to describe contrasts in consonants. Unlike most distinctive features, the feature [tense] can be interpreted only relatively, that is, in a language like English that contrasts (e.g. beat) and (e.g. bit), it is possible to say that the former is a tense vowel while the latter is a lax vowel. ...

| tensiometer |
A tensiometer is a device used to determine soil moisture tension, an indirect measure of soil moisture content. The tensiometer consists of a glass or plastic tube with a porous ceramic tip. It is filled with a liquid, usually colored water. At the top of the tube is a vacuum gauge. The device is buried in the soil, and a hand pump is used to pull a partial vacuum. As water is pulled out of the soil by plants, the vacuum inside the tube increases and can be measured by the gauge. ...

| tensor |
In mathematics, a tensor is a certain kind of geometrical entity, or alternatively generalized 'quantity'. The tensor concept includes the ideas of scalar, vector and linear operator. Tensors may be written down in terms of coordinate systems, as arrays of scalars, but are defined so as to be independent of any chosen frame of reference. Tensors are of importance in physics and engineering. ...
