| solid-state detector | A detector that uses a crystalline scintillating material rather than an ionization chamber to detect or measure radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| solid state laser | <radiobiology> A laser using a transparent substance (crystalline or glass) as the active medium, doped to provide the energy states necessary for lasing. The pumping mechanism is the radiation from a powerful light source, such as a flashlamp. The ruby, Nd-YAG, and Nd:glass lasers are solid-state lasers. (09 Oct 1997) |
| standard state | <chemistry> The most stable form of a substance at 298 K and 1 atmosphere of pressure. (09 Jan 1998) |
| state | <chemistry> The condition of the system at a given time, it is usually defined by an equation which is called an equation of state. (09 Jan 1998) |
| state dentistry | Control, direction and financing of the total dental care of the population by a national government. (12 Dec 1998) |
| state-dependent learning | Learning during a specific state of sleep or wakefulness, or during a chemically altered state, where retrieval of learned information (e.g., as measured by performance of a learned response) cannot be demonstrated unless the subject is restored to the state that originally existed during learning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| state function | <chemistry> A property that is independent of the pathway, this function can be used to define or specify the state of the system. (09 Jan 1998) |
| state government | The complex of political institutions, laws, and customs through which the function of governing the state is carried out (u.s. Only). (12 Dec 1998) |
| state hospital | A hospital supported in part by taxpayers and administered by state government officials. (05 Mar 2000) |
| state implementation plan | A state plan required by the Clean Air act to bring nonattainment areas into compliance with federal ambient air quality standards. (05 Dec 1998) |
| state medicine | A system of medical care regulated, controlled and financed by the government, in which the government assumes responsibility for the health needs of the population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| steady state | A dynamic equilibrium. (13 Nov 1997) |
| steady-state rate | The velocity of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in which, over the time course of the study, the concentration of any enzyme species is constant (i.e., for an enzyme-substrate binary complex, ES, d[ES]/dt&apprxeq;00; for this to hold true, the total enzyme concentration must be much less than the initial substrate concentration. Synonym: steady-state rate. (05 Mar 2000) |

| decerebrate state | A peculiar neurologic condition elicited in vertebrates as a consequence of the elimination of brain function by transecting the brainstem or interrupting function by other techniques. Clinically, brain damage can result in neurological signs resembling those of a decerebrate animal. The state consists of exaggerated postures, grossly abnormal reflexes, convulsions, and extreme muscular rigidity and spasticity. (12 Dec 1998) |
