| university | Origin: OE. Universite, L. Universitas all together, the whole, the universe, a number of persons associated into one body, a society, corporation, fr. Universus all together, universal: cf. F. Universite. See Universe. 1. The universe; the whole. 2. An association, society, guild, or corporation, especially. One capable of having and acquiring property. "The universities, or corporate bodies, at Rome were very numerous. There were corporations of bakers, farmers of the revenue, scribes, and others." (Eng. Cyc) 3. An institution organised and incorporated for the purpose of imparting instruction, examining students, and otherwise promoting education in the higher branches of literature, science, art, etc, empowered to confer degrees in the several arts and faculties, as in theology, law, medicine, music, etc. A university may exist without having any college connected with it, or it may consist of but one college, or it may comprise an assemblage of colleges established in any place, with professors for instructing students in the sciences and other branches of learning. "The present universities of Europe were, originally, the greater part of them, ecclesiastical corporations, instituted for the education of churchmen . . . What was taught in the greater part of those universities was suitable to the end of their institutions, either theology or something that was merely preparatory to theology." (A. Smith) From the Roman words universitas, collegium, corpus, are derived the terms university, college, and corporation, of modern languages; and though these words have obtained modified significations in modern times, so as to indifferently applicable to the same things, they all agree in retaining the fundamental signification of the terms, whatever may have been added to them. There is now no university, college, or corporation, which is not a juristical person in the sense above explained [see def. 2, above]; wherever these words are applied to any association of persons not stamped with this mark, it is an abuse of terms.

| Austin Flint | <person> Flint, the son and grandson of physicians, was born in Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard Medical School in 1832. He founded the Buffalo Medical College. Austin became associated with Dr. Samuel D. Gross at the University of Louisville. He was a pioneer user and advocator of the binaural stethoscope, and was called the "American Laennec." This internist described a loud presystolic murmur at the cardiac apex in aortic regurgitation now known as the Austin Flint Murmur (1862). He introduced the terms "cavernous" and "broncho-vesicular respiration." His "Principles and Practice of Medicine" published in 1866 was a leading textbook of medicine for many years. Lived: 1812-1886. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Austin Flint murmur | Synonym: Austin Flint phenomenon, Flint's murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Austin Flint phenomenon | The murmur of relative mitral stenosis during significant aortic regurgitation owing to narrowing of the mitral orifice by pressure of the aortic regurgitant flow on the anterior mitral leaflet. Synonym: Austin Flint murmur. (05 Mar 2000) |

| arrayed library | <molecular biology> Individual primary recombinant clones (hosted in phage, cosmid, YAC, or other vector) that are placed in two-dimensional arrays in microtiter dishes. Each primary clone can be identified by the identity of the plate and the clone location (row and column) on that plate. Arrayed libraries of clones can be used for many applications, including screening for a specific gene or genomic region of interest as well as for physical mapping. Information gathered on individual clones from various genetic linkage and physical map analyses is entered into a relational database and used to construct physical and genetic linkage maps simultaneously, clone identifiers serve to interrelate the multilevel maps. Compare: library, genomic library. (19 Jan 1998) |
| gene library | <molecular biology> A collection of cloned DNA fragments that contains all the genetic information of a particular organism. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genomic library | <molecular biology> A collection of DNA molecules, derived from restriction fragments that have been cloned in vectors, that includes all or part of the genetic material of an organism. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cDNA library | <molecular biology> A collection of all of the mRNA molecules present in a cell or organism, all turned into cDNA molecules with the enzyme reverse transcriptase, then inserted into vectors (other DNA molecules which can continue to replicate after addition of foreign DNA). The library can then be probed for the specific cDNA (and thus mRNA) of interest. (09 Oct 1997) |
| peptide library | A collection of cloned free peptides, frequently consisting of all possible combinations of amino acids making up an n-amino acid peptide. (12 Dec 1998) |
| complementary DNA library | <molecular biology> A collection of all of the mRNA molecules present in a cell or organism, all turned into cDNA molecules with the enzyme reverse transcriptase, then inserted into vectors (other DNA molecules which can continue to replicate after addition of foreign DNA). The library can then be probed for the specific cDNA (and thus mRNA) of interest. (09 Oct 1997) |
