| runner's condition | <orthopaedics> A condition where the knee cap (patella) rubs on the surface of the femur rather than following its normal tracking over the knee joint. This condition is brought about by stress or overuse (for example runners). Running on hills or incline surfaces can exacerbate this problem. Symptoms include knee pain, just under the knee cap after running, progressing to knee pain at rest. Treatment includes rest and stretching exercises for the quadriceps and hamstring muscles. Strengthening the medial (inner) head of the quadriceps (along the inner thigh) will help pull the knee cap medially and correct the problem. (17 Dec 1997) |

| condition | A mode or state of being, the state of being fit: the physical status of the body as a whole or of one of its parts usually used to indicate abnormality. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sine condition | <microscopy> The design of a lens must fulfill this condition, described by Abbe, if the image is to be aplanatic. It states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of the incident and refracted rays to the axis must be constant, this constant is equal to the inverse of the magnification of the image. (05 Aug 1998) |
| stoichiometric condition | That condition at which the proportion of the air-to-fuel is such that all combustible products will be completely burned with no oxygen remaining in the combustion air. (05 Dec 1998) |
| desired future condition | A vision of the desired future state of a specific area. A description of land and resource conditions expected to result if management goals and objectives are achieved. (05 Dec 1998) |
| disturbed condition | <ecology> Refers to areas in which indicators of one or more characteristics (vegetation, soil and/or hydrology) have been sufficiently altered by man's activities or natural events so as to make it more difficult to recognise whether or not the wetland identification criteria are met. (11 Jan 1998) |
| fibrocystic condition of the breast | A benign disease common in women of the third, fourth, and fifth decades characterised by formation, in one or both breasts, of small cysts containing fluid which may appear as blue dome cysts; associated with stromal fibrosis and with variable degrees of intraductal epithelial hyperplasia and sclerosing adenosis. Synonym: cystic hyperplasia of the breast. (05 Mar 2000) |
| absolute zero | <chemistry, physics> This is the lowest possible temperature (0 Kelvin, -273.15 degrees Celsius, -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit). at this temperature, all molecular motion stops. (15 Jan 1998) |
| Patient Zero | The individual identified in 1982 by the Centres for Disease Control as responsible for introducing the HIV virus into the U.S. Population. A Canadian citisen, Patient Zero was a homosexual airline steward who claimed to have had as many as 2,500 sexual encounters. CDC epidemiologists located 19 men in Los Angeles, 22 in New York City, and 8 in other cities who had contracted AIDS from contact with Patient Zero, the earliest known cases of the disease in the U.S. Revealed to be Gaetan Dugas, Patient Zero died in 1984 due to AIDS-related illness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| protein Zero | <protein> The major glycoprotein of peripheral nerve myelin, an integral transmembrane protein, synthesised by Schwann cells (Mw = 28, 500). (18 Nov 1997) |
| zero | Origin: F. Zero, from Ar. Cafrun, cifrun, empty, a cipher. Cf. Cipher. 1. <mathematics> A cipher; nothing; naught. 2. The point from which the graduation of a scale, as of a thermometer, commences. Zero in the Centigrade, or Celsius thermometer, and in the Reaumur thermometer, is at the point at which water congeals. The zero of the Fahrenheit thermometer is fixed at the point at which the mercury stands when immersed in a mixture of snow and common salt. In Wedgwood's pyrometer, the zero corresponds with 1077 deg on the Fahrenheit scale. 3. The lowest point; the point of exhaustion; as, his patience had nearly reached zero. Absolute zero. See Absolute. <physics> Zero method, a method of comparing, or measuring, forces, electric currents, etc, by so opposing them that the pointer of an indicating apparatus, or the needle of a galvanometer, remains at, or is brought to, zero, as contrasted with methods in which the deflection is observed directly; called also null method. Zero point, the point indicating zero, or the commencement of a scale or reckoning. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| zero degree teeth | Prosthetic teeth having no cusp angles in relation to the horizontal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zero end-expiratory pressure | Airway pressure which, at the end of expiration, equals atmospheric pressure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zero energy thermonuclear assembly | <radiobiology> A British fusion device in which scientists observed fusion neutrons in 1958. They were erroneously considered to be thermonuclear (coming from particles with a Maxwellian velocity distribution) and were a cause for the initial optimism that fusion energy would be easy. They were actually due to electromagnetic acceleration during a plasma instability, an effect which cannot be scaled up to produce useful energy. (09 Oct 1997) |
| zero gravity | A physical state existing in space or at a time in flight when the centrifugal thrust of a parabolic glide or turn exactly counteracts the force of gravity. (05 Mar 2000) |
