original strain
1Strain scanning — refers to several diffraction based techniques using X rays and neutrons where the crystalline lattice of a material is, in effect, used as a form of strain gauge. The various methods are derived from powder diffraction but look for the small… …

3Original antigenic sin — Original antigenic sin, also known as the Hoskins effect,[1] refers to the propensity of the body s immune system to preferentially utilize immunological memory based on a previous infection when a second slightly different version, of that… …
4Strain rate — Strain rate, with regards to materials science, is the change in strain over the change in time and is denoted as έ.έ = δε/δtWe have :έ = δε/δt = frac{1}{ell 0} frac{dell}{dt} = frac{v}{ell 0}where ell 0 is the original length and v is the speed… …
5strain — strain1 strainingly, adv. strainless, adj. strainlessly, adv. /strayn/, v.t. 1. to draw tight or taut, esp. to the utmost tension; stretch to the full: to strain a rope. 2. to exert to the utmost: to strain one s ears to catch a sound. 3. to… …
6strain — 1. A population of homogeneous organisms possessing a set of defined characteristics; in bacteriology, the set of descendants that retains the characteristics of the ancestor; members of a s. that subsequently differ from the original isolate are …
7strain — the intensity of deformation at a point in an object. When stress is applied to a body, a strain is produced. The body can be distorted or deformed, depending upon its elasticity. Strain is measured by the ratio of the dimensional change produced …
8strain — Any deformation or deflection in a body caused by stress. The strain is directly proportional to the stress, as a load is applied until the proportional limit is reached. Beyond that point, the strain may increase at a changing rate until the… …
9strain — I. /streɪn / (say strayn) verb (t) 1. to draw tight or taut; stretch, especially to the utmost tension: to strain a rope. 2. to exert to the utmost: to strain one s ears to catch a sound. 3. to impair, injure, or weaken by stretching or… …
