| scientific | 1. Of or pertaining to science; used in science; as, scientific principles; scientific apparatus; scientific observations. 2. Agreeing with, or depending on, the rules or principles of science; as, a scientific classification; a scientific arrangement of fossils. 3. Having a knowledge of science, or of a science; evincing science or systematic knowledge; as, a scientific chemist; a scientific reasoner; a scientific argument. "Bossuet is as scientific in the structure of his sentences." (Lander) Scientific method, the method employed in exact science and consisting of: (a) Careful and abundant observation and experiment. (b) generalisation of the results into formulated "Laws" and statements. Origin: F. Scientifique; L. Scientia science + facere = to make. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| scientific feasibility | <radiobiology> Fusion will be considered scientifically feasible when (a) experiments are done which reach scientific breakeven-type plasma conditions (see entry on breakeven), and (b) the experimental results suggest that the approach can be scaled up into a power-producing system. Tokamak fusion reactors are closing in on (a), and tokamak researchers think (b) holds as well, so they are designing a power-producing machine (ITER) to demonstrate net energy production from tokamak fusion. Inertial confinement is also approaching this point. (09 Oct 1997) |
| scientific integrity review | Designation for reports by the united states office of research integrity, identifying questionable research published in articles or books. Notification of the questionable data is carried in the nih guide for grants and contracts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| scientific method | The universally-accepted, organised approach to the study of science, which consists of the following steps: 1. Observation - collecting data. 2. Hypothesis - forming a preliminary possible explanation of the data. 3. Testing - test the hypothesis by collecting more data. 4. Results - interpreting the results of the test and deciding if the hypothesis should be rejected. The hypothesis is rejected if the results contradict it, showing that it is wrong. 5. Conclusion - stating a conclusion that can be evaluated independently by others. (09 Oct 1997) |
| scientific misconduct | Intentional falsification of scientific data by presentation of fraudulent or incomplete or uncorroborated findings as scientific fact. (12 Dec 1998) |
| societies, scientific | Societies whose membership is limited to scientists. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Abbe theory of image formation | <optics, physics> Abbe's theory is based on the fact that a non-self-luminous particle, which is illuminated by an extraneous source, gives rise to diffracted light rays, in addition to the dioptric pencil. He stated that to form a good microscopical image as many of the diffracted rays as possible should be intercepted by the objective. With closely ruled lines, his theory is easily demonstrated by observing the back lens of the objective, for here the diffracted rays can be observed directly if the aperture diaphragm is closed. It can be shown that, when the illumination is arranged to exclude the diffracted images, resolution is lost. (11 Mar 1998) |
| adsorption theory of narcosis | That a drug becomes concentrated at the surface of the cell as a result of adsorption, and thus alters permeability and metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Altmann's theory | A theory that protoplasm consists of granular particles (called bioblasts) that are clustered and enclosed in indifferent matter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Arrhenius-Madsen theory | That the reaction of an antigen with its antibody is a reversible reaction, the equilibrium being determined according to the law of mass action by the concentrations of the reacting substances. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atomic theory | That chemical compounds are formed by the union of atoms in certain definite proportions; in its modern form, first advanced in 1803 by John Dalton. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baeyer's theory | That carbon bonds are set at fixed angles (109 |
| balance theory | In social psychology, a theory which assumes that steady and unsteady states can be specified for cognitive units, such as an individual and his or her attitudes or acts, and that such units tend to seek steady states (balance); e.g., balance exists when both parts of a unit are evaluated the same, but disequilibrium arises when both parts are not evaluated the same, which causes either cognitive reevaluation of the parts or their segregation. See: cognitive dissonance theory, consistency principle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| beta-oxidation-condensation theory | <biochemistry> That the two carbon fragments split from the fatty acid molecule by beta-oxidation are converted to acetic acid and then condensed to acetoacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bohr's theory | That spectrum lines are produced 1) by the quantised emission of radiant energy when electrons drop from an orbit of a higher to one of a lower energy level, or 2) by absorption of radiation when an electron rises from a lower to a higher energy level. (05 Mar 2000) |
| scientific theory | a theory that explains scientific observations |
