| chemistry, inorganic | A field of chemistry which pertains to chemical compounds or ions that do not contain the element carbon (with the exception of carbon dioxide and compounds containing a carbonate radical, e.g., calcium carbonate). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| chemistry, pharmaceutical | Chemistry that deals with the composition and preparation of substances used in treatment of patients or diagnostic studies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pharmaceutical chemistry | Medicinal chemistry in its application to the analysis, development, preparation, and the manufacture of drugs. Synonym: medicinal chemistry, pharmacochemistry. (05 Mar 2000) |

| organic chemistry | <chemistry> A branch of chemistry that deals specifically with the structures, synthesis and reactions of carbon-containing compounds. (11 Jan 1998) |
| ecological chemistry | Chemistry that concentrates on the effects of woman-made chemicals on the environment as well as the development of agents that are not harmful to the environment. The study of the molecular interactions between species and between species and the environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epithermal chemistry | So-called "hot atom" chemistry; the science concerned with the chemical reactions of recoil atoms and free radicals produced in low energy nuclear processes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acoustic impedance tests | Objective tests of middle ear function based on the difficulty (impedance) or ease (admittance) of sound flow through the middle ear. These include static impedance and dynamic impedance (i.e., tympanometry and impedance tests in conjunction with intra-aural muscle reflex elicitation). This term is used also for various components of impedance and admittance (e.g., compliance, conductance, reactance, resistance, susceptance). (12 Dec 1998) |
| Alpha tests | A set of paper and pencil-administered mental tests first used in the United States Army in 1917-1918 to determine the mental ability of literate recruits; the set includes 8 different types of tests: i.e., directions, arithmetical problems, practical judgement, synonyms and antonyms, disarrayed sentences, number series completions, analogies, and information; they are designed especially for testing large groups of individuals simultaneously, and for rapid machine scoring; distinguished from the Army Beta tests, a complementary set for administration to recruits who could not read or write English, in which the instructions are given in signs and the test material is pictorial. See: Beta tests. Synonym: Army Alpha tests. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aptitude tests | Primarily non-verbal tests designed to predict an individual's future learning ability or performance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Beta tests | <psychiatry> A set of pictorially administered mental tests first used in the United States Army in 1917-1918 to determine the relative mental ability of recruits who were illiterate or deficient in reading and writing English, the instructions being given in signs and the test material's pictorial in characters; distinguished from the Army Alpha tests, which were administered at the same time to literate recruits. Synonym: Army Beta tests. (05 Mar 2000) |
