Aberration of light is the apparent change in the direction of light due to an observer's motion perpendicular to light rays. It has been applied to show that the speed of starlight impinging the Earth is constant despite any relative motion of the source. jstor.org/stable/24936048
Aberrations can be categorized as spherical (due to lens curvature) or chromatic (due to variation in refractive indices of light frequencies). Correcting them requires an suitable combination of lens thickness, curvature, refractive index and dispersion. micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/anatomy…
The abdomen, in mammals, is a body segment inferior to the thorax and bounded in part by the diaphragm, which separates the abdominal cavity from the pleural and pericardial cavities. In other vertebrates, lungs lie in the same cavity as abdominal tissue. dartmouth.edu/~humananatomy/…
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) lipid transporters are a family of proteins, many of them involved in lipid homeostasis. They each have 2 transmembrane domains and 2 nucleotide-binding regions (NBD). Each NBD contains 2 highly conserved motifs (Walker A and B). doi.org/10.1152/physio…
Abalone is a common name for various species of marine gastropod mollusks in the family Haliotidae. For Haliotis rufescens, the auricular shell can be as large as 30 cm. In regions where abundant, the flesh (foot muscle) of abalone is valued as food. doi.org/10.1016/S0065-…
The abacus is a centuries-old mechanical counting device that makes use of the same arithmetic principles as those of counting tables. Two styles of the bead frame abacus still in use today include the Chinese suanpan and the Japanese soroban. hdl.handle.net/1811/78206
Abacá refers to both the fiber derived from Musa textilis, a plant species in the banana family, and to the plant itself. It is one of the longest (1.8 - 4.2 meters) and strongest of plant fibers. Musa textilis prefers to grow in a warm, pluvial climate. jstor.org/stable/4287774
The aardvark is the only extant species (Orycteropus afer) in the order Tubulidentata. A nocturnal mammal native to sub-Saharan Africa, the aardvark ranges 50-70 kg in weight and digs burrows when foraging for food, seeking shelter, or housing newborns. en.wikisource.org/wiki/File:Aard…
A15 phases are intermetallic compounds with formulae of the form A3B, where A is a transition element, and B may be either a transition or non-transition element. They are notable for extraordinary superconducting properties. One example is niobium-tin. doi.org/10.1016/j.phys…
