Inflammation :: Inflammation (n.) A morbid condition of any part of the body, consisting in congestion of the blood vessels, with obstruction of the blood current, and growth of morbid tissue. It is manifested outwardly by redness and swelling, attended with heat and pain..

Tachometer :: Tachometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the velocity of running water in a river or canal, consisting of a wheel with inclined vanes, which is turned by the current. The rotations of the wheel are recorded by clockwork..

Launch :: Launch (v. i.) To move with force and swiftness like a sliding from the stocks into the water; to plunge; to make a beginning; as, to launch into the current of a stream; to launch into an argument or discussion; to launch into lavish expenditures; -- often with out..

Rapid :: Rapid (a.) The part of a river where the current moves with great swiftness, but without actual waterfall or cascade; -- usually in the plural; as, the Lachine rapids in the St. Lawrence..

Draughty :: Draughty (a.) Pertaining to a draught, or current of air; as, a draughtly, comfortless room..

Club :: Club (v. i.) To drift in a current with an anchor out.

Polarization :: Polarization (n.) An effect produced upon the plates of a voltaic battery, or the electrodes in an electrolytic cell, by the deposition upon them of the gases liberated by the action of the current. It is chiefly due to the hydrogen, and results in an increase of the resistance, and the setting up of an opposing electro-motive force, both of which tend materially to weaken the current of the battery, or that passing through the cell..

Confluence :: Confluence (n.) Any running together of separate streams or currents; the act of meeting and crowding in a place; hence, a crowd; a concourse; an assemblage..

Fiar :: Fiar (n.) The price of grain, as legally fixed, in the counties of Scotland, for the current year..

Slacken :: Slacken (a.) To lose rapidity; to become more slow; as, a current of water slackens..

Concurrent :: Concurrent (a.) Meeting in one point.

Concurrent :: Concurrent (n.) One who, or that which, concurs; a joint or contributory cause..

Statable :: Stasis (n.) A slackening or arrest of the blood current in the vessels, due not to a lessening of the heart's beat, but presumably to some abnormal resistance of the capillary walls. It is one of the phenomena observed in the capillaries in inflammation..

Decurrent :: Decurrent (a.) Extending downward; -- said of a leaf whose base extends downward and forms a wing along the stem.

Euripus :: Euripus (n.) A strait; a narrow tract of water, where the tide, or a current, flows and reflows with violence, as the ancient fright of this name between Eubaea and Baeotia. Hence, a flux and reflux..

Cash :: Cash (n.) Immediate or prompt payment in current funds; as, to sell goods for cash; to make a reduction in price for cash..

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

Concurrent :: Concurrent (a.) Joint and equal in authority; taking cognizance of similar questions; operating on the same objects; as, the concurrent jurisdiction of courts..

Wattmeter :: Wattmeter (n.) An instrument for measuring power in watts, -- much used in measuring the energy of an electric current..

Disturbance :: Disturbance (n.) An interruption of a state of peace or quiet; derangement of the regular course of things; disquiet; disorder; as, a disturbance of religious exercises; a disturbance of the galvanic current..
