| anionic detergent | Detergents in which the hydrophilic funtion is fulfilled by an anionic grouping. Fatty acids are the best known natural products in this class, but it is doubtful if they have a specific detergent function in any biological system. The important synthetic species are aliphatic sulphate esters, for example sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS or SLS). (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| nonionic detergent | <chemistry> Detergent in which the hydrophilic head group is uncharged. In practice hydrophilicity is usually conferred by OH groups. Examples are the polyoxyethylene p t octyl phenols known as Tritons and octyl glucoside. Nonionic detergents can be used to solubilise intrinsic membrane proteins with less tendency to denature them than charged detergents. They do not usually cause disassembly of structures such as microfilaments and microtubules that depend on protein protein interactions. (18 Nov 1997) |
| detergent | <chemistry> An agent which purifies or cleanses. <cell biology> Amphipathic, surface active, molecules with polar (water soluble) and nonpolar hydrophobic) domains. They bind strongly to hydrophobic molecules or molecular domains to confer water solubility. Examples include: sodium dodecyl sulphate, fatty acid salts, the Triton family, octyl glycoside. Origin: L. Detergere = to cleanse (18 Nov 1997) |
| zwitterionic detergent | Detergents that are zwitterionic; often used as surfactants and in the release of proteins from biomembranes. Synonym: zwitterionic detergent. Origin: zwitterion + detergent (05 Mar 2000) |
| paper mill worker's disease | <chest medicine> Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by moldy wood pulp containing spores of Alternaria fungi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malt-worker's lung | <chest medicine> Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by inhalation of spores of Aspergillus clavatus and Aspergillus fumigatus from contaminated barley during the manufacture of beer. (22 Sept 2002) |
| pearl-worker's disease | Inflammatory hypertrophy of the bones affecting grinders of mother-of-pearl. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cheese worker's lung | Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by inhalation of spores of Penicillium casei from moldy cheese. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coal worker's pneumoconiosis | <chest medicine> A form of chronic clung disease which develops after prolonged exposure to coal dust. Advanced disease and scarring is evident on chest X-ray. Symptoms include wheezing, chronic cough and shortness of breath. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pitch-worker's cancer | Carcinoma of the skin of the face or neck, arms and hands, or the scrotum, resulting from exposure to carcinogens in pitch, which occurs naturally as asphalt, or as a residue in the distillation of tar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| worker | 1. One who, or that which, works; a laborer; a performer; as, a worker in brass. "Professors of holiness, but workers of iniquity." (Shak) 2. <zoology> One of the neuter, or sterile, individuals of the social ants, bees, and white ants. The workers are generally females having the sexual organs imperfectly developed. See Ant, and White ant, under White. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| mushroom-worker's lung | <chest medicine> Extrinsic allergic alveolitis caused by inhalation of spores of the mold Thermopolyspora polyspora, Thermoactinomyces vulgaris, Micropolyspora faeni or Micromonospora vulgaris from contaminated mushrooms under cultivation or mushroom compost. (22 Sep 2002) |
| healthy worker effect | Phenomenon of workers' usually exhibiting overall death rates lower than those of the general population due to the fact that the severely ill and disabled are ordinarily excluded from employment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| social worker | <specialist> An individual, usually with a university degree in social work, who provides counsel and aid to individuals with emotional and family problems. (05 Mar 2000) |
