| resolve | 1. To be separated into its component parts or distinct principles; to undergo resolution. 2. To melt; to dissolve; to become fluid. "When the blood stagnates in any part, it first coagulates, then resolves, and turns alkaline." (Arbuthhnot) 3. To be settled in opinion; to be convinced. "Let men resolve of that as they plaease." (Locke) 4. To form a purpose; to make a decision; especially, to determine after reflection; as, to resolve on a better course of life. Synonym: To determine, decide, conclude, purpose. Origin: The sense "to be convinced, to determine" comes from the idea of loosening, breaking up into parts, analyzing, hence, determining. 1. To separate the component parts of; to reduce to the constituent elements; said of compound substances; hence, sometimes, to melt, or dissolve. "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!" (Shak) "Ye immortal souls, who once were men, And now resolved to elements again." (Dryden) 2. To reduce to simple or intelligible notions; said of complex ideas or obscure questions; to make clear or certain; to free from doubt; to disentangle; to unravel; to explain; hence, to clear up, or dispel, as doubt; as, to resolve a riddle. "Resolve my doubt." "To the resolving whereof we must first know that the Jews were commanded to divorce an unbelieving Gentile." (Milton) 3. To cause to perceive or understand; to acquaint; to inform; to convince; to assure; to make certain. "Sir, be resolved. I must and will come." (Beau & Fl) "Resolve me, Reason, which of these is worse, Want with a full, or with an empty purse?" (Pope) "In health, good air, pleasure, riches, I am resolved it can not be equaled by any region." (Sir W. Raleigh) "We must be resolved how the law can be pure and perspicuous, and yet throw a polluted skirt over these Eleusinian mysteries." (Milton) 4. To determine or decide in purpose; to make ready in mind; to fix; to settle; as, he was resolved by an unexpected event. 5. To express, as an opinion or determination, by resolution and vote; to declare or decide by a formal vote; followed by a clause; as, the house resolved (or, it was resolved by the house) that no money should be apropriated (or, to appropriate no money). 6. To change or convert by resolution or formal vote; used only reflexively; as, the house resolved itself into a committee of the whole. 7. <mathematics> To solve, as a problem, by enumerating the several things to be done, in order to obtain what is required; to find the answer to, or the result of. 8. <medicine> To dispere or scatter; to discuss, as an inflammation or a tumour. 9. To let the tones (as of a discord) follow their several tendencies, resulting in a concord. 10. To relax; to lay at ease. To resolve a nebula. <astronomy> See Resolution of a nebula, under Resolution. Synonym: To solve, analyze, unravel, disentangle. Origin: L. Resolvere, resolutum, to untie, loosen, relax, enfeeble; pref. Re- re- + solvere to loosen, dissolve: cf. F. Resoudare to resolve. See Solve, and cf. Resolve, Resolute, Resolution.

| resolvent | 1. That which has the power of resolving, or causing solution; a solvent. 2. <medicine> That which has power to disperse inflammatory or other tumours; a discutient; anything which aids the absorption of effused products. 3. <mathematics> An equation upon whose solution the solution of a given pproblem depends. Origin: L. Resolvens, p. Pr. Of resolvere: cf. F. Resolvant. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| resolving power | 1. <optics> The resolution of an optical system defines the closest proximity of two objects that can be seen as two distinct regions of the image. This limit depends upon the Numerical Aperture of the optical system, the contrast step between objects and background and the shape of the objects. The often quoted Airy limit applies only to self luminous discs. 2. <genetics> The smallest map distance measurable by an experiment involving a certain number of classified recombinant progency.

| resonance | 1. The act of resounding; the quality or state of being resonant. 2. <physics> A prolongation or increase of any sound, eithar by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments. 3. <chest medicine, physiology> Pulmonary resonance, the sound transmitted to the ear when auscultation is made while the patient is speaking. Origin: Cf. F. Resonance, L. Resonantia an echo. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| resonance energy transfer | <technique> Transfer of energy from one fluorochrome to another. The emission wavelength of the fluorochrome excited by the incident light must approximately match the excitation wavelength of the second fluorochrome. If light at the second emission wavelength is detected, it implies that the two fluorochromes were physically within a few nanometres. Used as a technique to probe protein or cell interactions.

| resonance theory of hearing | That the basilar membrane of the cochlea acts as a resonating structure, recording low tones from its apical turns and high tones from its basal turns. Synonym: Helmholtz theory of hearing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resonant | <physics> Returning, or capable of returning, sound; fitted to resound; resounding; echoing back. "Through every hour of the golden morning, the streets were resonant with female parties of young and old." (De Quincey) Origin: L. Resonans, p. Pr. Of resonare to resound: cf. F. Resonnant. See Resound. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| resonant frequency | The frequency at which individual magnetic nuclei absorb or emit radiofrequency energy in magnetic resonance studies. Synonym: resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resonator | <physics> Anything which resounds; specifically, a vessel in the form of a cylinder open at one end, or a hollow ball of brass with two apertures, so contrived as to greatly intensify a musical tone by its resonance. It is used for the study and analysis of complex sounds. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| resorb | Literally, to absorb again. To lose substance. Some of a tooth may be resorbed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resorcin | <chemistry> A colourless crystalline substance of the phenol series, obtained by melting certain resins, as galbanum, asafetida, etc, with caustic potash. It is also produced artificially and used in making certain dyestuffs, as phthalein, fluorescein, and eosin. Origin: Resin + orcin. So called because in its higher homologue it resembles orcin.

| resorcinol | M-dihydroxybenzene; 1,3-benzenediol;used internally for the relief of nausea, asthma, whooping cough, and diarrhoea, but chiefly as an external antiseptic in psoriasis, eczema, seborrhoea, and ringworm; pyrocatechol and hydroquinone are isomers of resorcinol. Synonym: resorcin. Resorcinol monoacetate, used externally in the treatment of acne, sycosis, and seborrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resorcinol phthalic anhydride | <chemical> Fluorophore commonly used in microscopy. Fluorescein di acetate can be used as a vital stain or can be conjugated to proteins (particularly antibodies) using isothiocyanate. Excitation is at 365nm and the emitted light is green yellow (450-490nm). The emission spectrum is pH sensitive and fluorescein can therefore be used to measure pH in intracellular compartments. (18 Nov 1997) |
| resorcinol test | A test for fructosuria; fresh urine treated with resorcinol in acid gives a red precipitate in the presence of fructose; the precipitate should form a red solution in ethanol. Synonym: Selivanoff's test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| resorcinolphthalein | Synonym: fluorescein. (05 Mar 2000) |
