| dispersion relation | <radiobiology> For a given wave, the dispersion relation relates the temporal frequency of a wave (w, or omega) to its wavenumber k and other physical quantities characteristic of the system. Dispersion relations can be quite simple (for example, w = k c for light, c being the speed of light), and they can also be quite complex, with interesting mathematical structure. The dispersion relation and its mathematical structure provide important information about the wave, including the phase and group velocities. Note that the meaning of dispersion relation is different in plasma physics than in other fields. (09 Oct 1997) |

| acquired | In medicine, the word acquired means new or added. New in the sense that it is not genetic (inherited) and added in the sense that is was not congenital (present at birth) but came along later. For example, AIDS is an acquired, not a genetic form of immune deficiency. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acquired agammaglobulinaemia | Heterogeneous group of immunodeficiency syndromes characterised by hypogammaglobulinaemia of most isotypes, variable B-cell defects, and the presence of recurrent bacterial infections. (12 Dec 1998) |
