A condition in a circuit characterized by relatively unimpeded oscillation of energy from a potential to a kinetic form. In an electrical network there is oscillation between the potential energy of current in inductance. This is analogous to the mechanical resonance seen in a pendulum.
Industry:Science
A condition in an electric circuit in which there is no path for current between two points; examples are a broken wire and a switch in the open, or off, position.
Industry:Science
A condition in hermaphroditic or dioecious animals in which the female reproductive structures mature before the male structures. It is of rare occurrence. Botanically, protogyny occurs in some plant species in which the stigma develops, withers, and dies before the anthers mature.
Industry:Science
A condition in space in the vicinity of an electrically charged body such that the forces due to the charge are detectable. An electric field (or electrostatic field) exists in a region if an electric charge at rest in the region experiences a force of electrical origin. Since an electric charge experiences a force if it is in the vicinity of a charged body, there is an electric field surrounding any charged body.
Industry:Science
A condition in which components of both testes and ovaries are present in the same individual. Although true hermaphroditism is common among lower forms of animals such as annelids and mollusks, it is rare in humans. A more common condition in humans is pseudohermaphroditism, which simulates hermaphroditism. In female pseudohermaphroditism, or gynandry, the external sexual characteristics are in part or wholly of the male aspect, but internal female genitalia are present. In male pseudohermaphroditism, or androgyny, the individual has external sexual characteristics of female aspect, but has testes (usually undescended).
Industry:Science
A condition in which excessive amounts of some substances are excreted from the body. The term may refer to either of two unrelated diseases, diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. The word diabetes derives from the Greek for siphon, a reference to the copious urine excretion that characterizes this affliction. In common usage, the term diabetes is synonymous with diabetes mellitus.
Industry:Science
A condition in which red blood cells of the fetus become coated with an immunoglobulin (IgG) antibody (anti-Rh D antibody) of maternal origin which is directed against an antigen (Rh D antigen) of paternal origin that is present on fetal cells.
Industry:Science
A condition in which the internal temperature of the body is at least 3.6°F (2.0°C) below an internal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C).
Industry:Science
A condition induced by the effective lack of resistance to gravitational force on an object or organism, sometimes known as free fall.
Industry:Science
A condition resulting in massive, debilitating fatigue accompanied by diverse symptoms including memory loss, diminished powers of concentration, sleep disorder, headache, low-grade fever, muscle and joint pains, sore throat, tender lymph nodes, and a postexertional malaise lasting more than 24 hours. This condition is also known as postviral fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, and myalgic encephalomyelitis. It is often associated with stress.
