Ftiction :: Ftiction (n.) The resistance which a body meets with from the surface on which it moves. It may be resistance to sliding motion, or to rolling motion..

Renitency :: Renitency (n.) The state or quality of being renitent; resistance; reluctance.

Homodromous :: Homodromous (a.) Moving in the same direction; -- said of a lever or pulley in which the resistance and the actuating force are both on the same side of the fulcrum or axis.

Platinoid :: Platinoid (n.) An alloy of German silver containing tungsten; -- used for forming electrical resistance coils and standards.

Elasticity :: Elasticity (n.) Power of resistance to, or recovery from, depression or overwork..

Smooth :: Smooth (superl.) Causing no resistance to a body sliding along its surface; frictionless.

Colluctancy :: Colluctancy (n.) A struggling to resist; a striving against; resistance; opposition of nature.

Ohm :: Ohm (n.) The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance, being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current by a column of mercury at the tempera

Rebellion :: Rebellion (v. i.) Open resistance to, or defiance of, lawful authority..

Resistance :: Resistance (n.) A means or method of resisting; that which resists.

Obluctation :: Obluctation (n.) A struggle against; resistance; opposition.

Short Circuit :: Short circuit () A circuit formed or closed by a conductor of relatively low resistance because shorter or of relatively great conductivity.

Grievance :: Grievance (v. t.) A cause of uneasiness and complaint; a wrong done and suffered; that which gives ground for remonstrance or resistance, as arising from injustice, tyranny, etc.; injury..

Mutiny :: Mutiny (n.) Insurrection against constituted authority, particularly military or naval authority; concerted revolt against the rules of discipline or the lawful commands of a superior officer; hence, generally, forcible resistance to rightful authority; insubordination..

Centreboard :: Centreboard (n.) A movable or sliding keel formed of a broad board or slab of wood or metal which may be raised into a water-tight case amidships, when in shallow water, or may be lowered to increase the area of lateral resistance and prevent leeway when the vessel is beating to windward. It is used in vessels of all sizes along the coast of the United States.

Contumacy :: Contumacy (n.) Stubborn perverseness; pertinacious resistance to authority.

Countertime :: Countertime (n.) The resistance of a horse, that interrupts his cadence and the measure of his manege, occasioned by a bad horseman, or the bad temper of the horse..

Stand :: Stand (v. i.) A halt or stop for the purpose of defense, resistance, or opposition; as, to come to, or to make, a stand..

Resistance :: Resistance (n.) A certain hindrance or opposition to the passage of an electrical current or discharge offered by conducting bodies. It bears an inverse relation to the conductivity, -- good conductors having a small resistance, while poor conductors or insulators have a very high resistance. The unit of resistance is the ohm..

Plasmid :: Plasmid (n.) A piece of DNA, usually circular, functioning as part of the genetic material of a cell, not integrated with the chromosome and replicating independently of the chromosome, but transferred, like the chromosome, to subsequent generations. In bacteria, plasmids often carry the genes for antibiotic resistance; they are exploited in genetic engineering as the vehicles for introduction of extraneous DNA into cells, to alter the genetic makeup of the cell. The cells thus altered may produ
