| electron transport system | The mitochondrial electron transport chain. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| electron velocity | <physics> The rate of motion of an electron. (05 Aug 1998) |
| electron-volt | <unit> A general unit of energy of moving particles, equal to the kinetic energy acquired by an electron losing one volt of potential, equal to 1.602 x 10-19 J. This is the energy an electron (or other particle of charge=1 such as a proton), gains as it is accelerated through a potential difference of 1 volt. In plasma physics the electron-volt is used as a unit of temperature when the mean particle energy is 1 eV, the temperature of the plasma is roughly 11, 600 Kelvin (the conversion from eV to K is via the Boltzmann constant). Abbreviation: eV (09 Oct 1997) |
| electron wavelength | <physics> The wavelength necessary to account for the deviation of electron rays in crystals by wave diffraction theory. It is numerically equal to the quotient of Planck's constant divided by the electron momentum, mv. = h / mv, where: h = Planck's constant m = mass of electron v = velocity of electron (05 Aug 1998) |
| emission electron | <physics>? A beta particle resulting from radioactive decay. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transition electron | An electron that moves from one energy level to another to fill a vacancy in a shell, with the emission of characteristic radiation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transmission electron microscopy | <technique> Those forms of electron microscopy in which electrons are transmitted through the object to be imaged, suffering energy loss by diffraction and to a small extent by absorption. Acronym: TEM (18 Nov 1997) |
| Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy | <technique> Scanning electron microscopy is performed by scanning a focused probe across the surface of the sample to be studied. In the environmental scanning electron microscopy the composition and pressure of the atmosphere around the specimen may be controlled. In favourable cases non-conductive specimens may be examined without coating, and hydrated specimens may be examined with the water still in place. Acronym: ESEM (05 Aug 1998) |
| free electron | <radiobiology> An electron not bound to an atom, molecule, or other particle via electromagnetic forces. (09 Oct 1997) |
| CS2 secondary alkylsulfohydrolase | <enzyme> From comamonas terrigena Registry number: EC 3.1.6.- Synonym: cs2 sa sulfohydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| protein structure, secondary | The stage in the development of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to alpha helices and beta sheets. This is the first folding level of protein building. (12 Dec 1998) |
| secondary | Second or inferior in order of time, place or importance, derived from or consequent to a primary event or thing. Origin: L. Secundarius, secundus = second (18 Nov 1997) |
| secondary abdominal pregnancy | A condition in which the embryo or foetus continues to grow in the abdominal cavity after its expulsion from the fallopian tube or other seat of its primary development. Synonym: abdominocyesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary adhesion | Delayed closure of two granulating surfaces. Synonym: secondary adhesion, secondary union. (05 Mar 2000) |
| secondary adrenocortical insufficiency | Adrenocortical insufficiency caused by failure of ACTH secretion resulting from anterior pituitary disease or inhibition of ACTH production resulting from exogenous steroid therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
