| 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) |

| virus assembly | The assembly of viral capsid proteins and nucleic acid to form a viral particle (virion). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| self assembly | <biology> The property of forming structures from sub units (protomers) without any external source of information about the structure to be formed such as priming structure or template. (18 Nov 1997) |
| controlled thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> The process in which light nuclei, heated to a high temperature in a confined region, undergo fusion reactions under controlled conditions, with associated release of energy which may be harnessed for useful purposes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| controlled thermonuclear research | General label for research on controlled thermonuclear fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear | Pertaining to nuclear reactions brought about by nuclear fusion; (e.g., the fusion of hydrogen to helium at temperatures of over 100,000,000°C). (the reaction in the "hydrogen bomb"). (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermonuclear conditions | <radiobiology> Achievement of an adequately confined plasma, having temperature and density sufficiently high to yield significant release of energy from fusion reactions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear fusion | <radiobiology> Fusion achieved by heating the fuel into the plasma state to the point where ions have sufficient energy to fuse. Also used to characterise fusion between thermal ions as opposed to fusion involving injected beam ions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| thermonuclear reaction | <radiobiology> See thermonuclear fusion, above. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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 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) |
