| metal interface | In dentistry, a boundary between metal and nonsolvent solder, or between metal and surface oxide. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colloidal metal | A colloidal solution of a metal obtained by passing electric sparks between terminals of the metal in distilled water. Synonym: electrosol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wood's metal | A fusible alloy consisting of one or two parts of cadmium, two parts of tin, four of lead, with seven or eight part of bismuth. It melts at from 66 deg to 71 deg C. See Fusible metal, under Fusible. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| heavy metal | A metal with a high specific gravity, typically larger than 5; e.g., Fe, Co, Cu, Mn, Mo, Zn, V. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heavy metal neuropathy | Peripheral nervous system disorders attributed to intoxication of one of the heavy metals: arsenic, gold, lead, mercury, platinum and thallium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| liquid metal | <radiobiology> Metal which has been heated past its melting point and can be used as a working fluid for pumping heat out from a powerplant. Liquid metal used as coolant in a system where significant magnetic fields exist, it behaves differently due to magnetohydrodynamic effects, these cause pressure which resists fluid circulation, suppression of turbulence, and altered flow patterns compared to non-magnetic liquid metal systems. (09 Oct 1997) |
| liquid-metal fast-breeder reactor | <physics> Fission breeder reactor concept using liquid-metal coolant and breeding additional fuel off fast neutrons. See: breeder reactor. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adrenergic blocking agent | A compound that selectively blocks or inhibits responses to sympathetic adrenergic nerve activity (sympatholytic agent) and to epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other adrenergic amines (adrenolytic agent); two distinct classes exist, alpha-and beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenergic neuronal blocking agent | A drug that prevents the release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals; it does not inhibit the responses of the adrenergic receptors to circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine, and other adrenergic amines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| agent | <pharmacology> Any power, principle or substance capable of producing an effect, whether physical, chemical or biological. Origin: L. Agens = acting (18 Nov 1997) |
