| 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.

| 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) |
| acid etch cemented splint | A splint of heavy wire which is cemented to the labial surfaces of teeth with any of the acid etch cement techniques; used to stabilise traumatically displaced or periodontally diseased teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| active splint | A splint utilizing springs or elastic bands that aids in movements initiated by the patient by controlling the plane and range of motion. Synonym: active splint, functional splint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| airplane splint | A complicated splint that holds the arm in abduction at about shoulder level with the forearm midway in flexion, generally with an axillary strut for support. (05 Mar 2000) |
