| speed | 1. To go; to fare. "To warn him now he is too farre sped." (Remedy of Love) 2. To experience in going; to have any condition, good or ill; to fare. "Ships heretofore in seas lke fishes sped; The mightiest still upon the smallest fed." (Waller) 3. To fare well; to have success; to prosper. "Save London, and send true lawyers their meed! For whoso wants money with them shall not speed!" (Lydgate) "I told ye then he should prevail, and speed On his bad errand." (Milton) 4. To make haste; to move with celerity. "I have speeded hither with the very extremest inch of possibility." (Shak) 5. To be expedient. Origin: AS. Spdan, fr. Spd, n.; akin to D. Spoeden, G. Sich sputen. See Speed. 1. Prosperity in an undertaking; favorable issue; success. "For common speed." "O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day." (Gen. Xxiv. 12) 2. The act or state of moving swiftly; swiftness; velocity; rapidly; rate of motion; dispatch; as, the speed a horse or a vessel. "Speed, to describe whose swiftness number fails." (Milton) In kinematics, speedis sometimes used to denote the amount of velocity without regard to direction of motion, while velocity is not regarded as known unless both the direction and the amount are known. 3. One who, or that which, causes or promotes speed or success. "Hercules be thy speed!" God speed, Good speed; prosperity. See Godspeed. Speed gauge, Speed indicator, and Speed recorder, a power lathe with a rapidly revolving spindle, for turning small objects, for polishing, etc.; a hand lathe. Speed pulley, a cone pulley with steps. Synonym: Haste, swiftness, celerity, quickness, dispatch, expedition, hurry, acceleration. See Haste. Origin: AS. Spd success, swiftness, from spwan to succeed; akin to D. Spoedd, OHG. Spuot success, spuot to succees, Skr. Spha to increase, grow fat. B. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| swimming speed | <marine biology> Swimming speeds of stream fish vary from essentially zero to over six metres per second, depending upon species, size, and activity. Three categories of performance are generally recognised: 1. Burst (darting) speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for a very short time, generally 5 to 10 seconds, without gross variation in performance. Burst speed is employed for feeding or escape, and represents maximum swimming speed. 2. Cruising speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for an extended period of time without fatigue. This implies a lack of stress, and is the maximum speed traveled by undisturbed individuals. 3. Sustained (prolonged) speed: The speed that a fish can maintain for a prolonged period, but which ultimately results in fatigue. at this speed the fish is under some degree of stress. (19 Jan 1998) |
| film speed | The relative sensitivity of film emulsion to light or radiation exposure; speed is inversely related to detail resolution. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acquired sensitivity | 1. <immunology> A state of hypersensitivity induced by exposure to a particular antigen (allergen) resulting in harmful immunologic reactions on subsequent exposures, the term is usually used to refer to hypersensitivity to an environmental antigen (atopic allergy or contact dermatitis) or to drug allergy. The original meaning, now obsolete, included all states of altered immunologic reactivity, immunity as well as hypersensitivity. Gell and Coombs used the term allergic reaction to mean any harmful immunologic reaction causing tissue injury. 2. <study> The medical specialty dealing with diagnosis and treatment of allergic disorders. (18 Nov 1997) |
| analytical sensitivity | The degree of response to a change in concentration of analyte being measured in an assay; synonymous with the detection limit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic sensitivity | Microbial susceptibility to antibiotics. See: antibiotic sensitivity test, minimal inhibitory concentration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibiotic sensitivity test | The in vitro testing of bacterial cultures with antibiotics to determine susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotic therapy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pacemaker sensitivity | The minimum cardiac activity required to consistently trigger a pulse generator. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative sensitivity | The sensitivity of a medical screening test as determined by comparison with the same type of test; e.g., sensitivity of a new serological test relative to sensitivity of an established serological test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemotherapy drug sensitivity test | <investigation> A test to assess a cancerous tissue's response and vulnerability to chemotherapy drugs. This test can help predict a patients response to treatment and suggest which drugs may be useful. (16 Dec 1997) |
| microbial sensitivity tests | Any tests that demonstrate the relative efficacy of different chemotherapeutic agents against specific microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, fungi, viruses). (12 Dec 1998) |
| photoallergic sensitivity | See: photosensitization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phototoxic sensitivity | See: photosensitization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clinical sensitivity | Test positivity in disease; ability of a test to correctly identify disease. See: diagnostic sensitivity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| multiple chemical sensitivity | An acquired disorder characterised by recurrent symptoms, referable to multiple organ systems, occurring in response to demonstrable exposure to many chemically unrelated compounds at doses far below those established in the general population to cause harmful effects. No single widely accepted test of physiologic function can be shown to correlate with symptoms. (cullen mr. The worker with multiple chemical sensitivities: an overview. Occup med 1987;2(4):655-61) (12 Dec 1998) |
