| los alamos meson physics facility | <radiobiology> Physics research facility at Los Alamos National Lab, major site for U.S. Muon-catalysed fusion research in the 1980s. May be shut down soon. (09 Oct 1997) |

| los alamos national laboratory | <radiobiology> Major DOE research facility, located in Los Alamos, new Mexico, about an hour west of Santa Fe. Former home of a frozen-deuterium-fibre Z-pinch device, which was dismantled. Home to an active theory division, including the Numerical Tokamak Grand Challenge (being performed on the CM-5 massively-parallel supercomputer). Also home to former alternative-concepts experimental devices like Scyllac, FRX-A, FRX-B, FRX-C/LSM, ZT40, and the aborted CPRF which was killed in 1991 when it was almost complete (budget cuts). Currently there are some small in-house experiments, including one on electrostatic confinement as a possible fusion device, and/or a compact neutron source. They also do theory and experimental collaboration with other labs worldwide. (09 Oct 1997) |

| meson | <anatomy> The mesial plane dividing the body of an animal into similar right and left halves. The line in which it meets the dorsal surface has been called the dorsimeson, and the corresponding ventral edge the ventrimeson. Origin: NL, fr. Gr. Middle, neut. Of, a, middle.

| mal de los pintos | An infectious disease of the skin caused by treponema carateum that occurs only in the western hemisphere. Age of onset is between 10 and 20 years of age. This condition is characterised by marked changes in the skin colour and is believed to be transmitted by direct person-to-person contact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| physics | The science of nature, or of natural objects; that branch of science which treats of the laws and properties of matter, and the forces acting upon it; especially, that department of natural science which treats of the causes (as gravitation, heat, light, magnetism, electricity, etc) that modify the general properties of bodies; natural philosophy. Chemistry, though a branch of general physics, is commonly treated as a science by itself, and the application of physical principles which it involves constitute a branch called chemical physics, which treats more especially of those physical properties of matter which are used by chemists in defining and distinguishing substances.

| health physics | The science concerned with problems of radiation protection relevant to reducing or preventing radiation exposure, and the effects of ionizing radiation on humans and their environment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tokamak physics experiment | <radiobiology> Smaller successor to TFTR at Princeton. Engineering design underway, construction scheduled to begin in FY 1995. (09 Oct 1997) |

| advanced toroidal facility | <physics> A large stellarator device developed at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), but now retired. Acronym: ATF (09 Oct 1997) |
| mass burn facility | A facility in which the pretreatment of MSW includes only inspection and simple separation to remove oversize, hazardous, or explosive materials. Large mass burn facilities have capacities of 3000 tons of MSW per day or more. Modular plants with capacities as low as 25 tons per day have been built. Mass burn technologies represent over 75% of all the MSW-to-energy facilities constructed in the United States to date. The major components of a mass burn facility include refuse receiving and handling, combustion and steam generation, flue gas cleaning, power generation, condenser cooling water, residue hauling, and storage.

| health facility administrators | Managerial personnel responsible for implementing policy and directing the activities of health care facilities such as nursing homes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| health facility closure | The closing of any health facility, e.g., health centres, residential facilities, and hospitals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| health facility environment | Physical surroundings or conditions of a hospital or other health facility and influence of these factors on patients and staff. (12 Dec 1998) |
| health facility merger | The combining of administrative and organizational resources of two or more health care facilities. (12 Dec 1998) |
| health facility moving | The relocation of health care institutions or units thereof. The concept includes equipment relocation. (12 Dec 1998) |
