sensitivity (countable and uncountable, plural sensitivities)

чуллі́васць

the ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli

Up to 1,884 microplastic particles were found per cubic metre of seawater in some locations, up to 18 times higher than in similar tests during the last Ocean Race, which ended in 2018. Scientists noted that the sensitivity of their instruments is now higher.

2023 June 5, Yvonne Gordon, “Microplastics found in every sample of water taken during Ocean Race”, in The Guardian:

Whether you call them outlets, plug-ins, or receptacles, these important devices represent the point where the rubber meets the road in your home wiring system. From the basic 15-amp, 120-volt duplex receptacle to the burly 50-amp, 240-volt appliance receptacle, the many outlets in your home do pretty much the same thing: transmit power to a load.

From Higgs + boson; named after British physicist Peter Higgs, who is credited with proposing what is now called the Higgs mechanism. Korean-American theoretical physicist Benjamin W. Lee is generally credited with having coined the term.

The existence of a Higgs boson would be the simplest solution to the problem of electroweak symmetry breaking.

1987, Robert N. Cahn, “The Search for a Heavy Higgs Boson at the SSC”, in Orrin Fackler, J. Thanh Vân Trân, editors, New and Exotic Phenomena: Proceedings of the Seventh Moriond Workshop, page 468:

We also know other things about the Higgs boson. If it were much more massive, a problem would occur. Since Higgs bosons interact with particles with a large mass, Higgs bosons would also interact with themselves (as they have mass too). This “self interaction” puts an upper limit on the mass of the Higgs boson as less than about 500-1000 GeV.

2004, Don Lincoln, Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos, page 239:

In the higher Higgs boson mass domain, the Higgs boson decays dominantly to a pair of b-quarks.

Mach's principle

Named after German physicist Ernst Mach, to whom the hypothesis is often attributed. Coined by Albert Einstein, who sought to incorporate the hypothesis into his theory of general relativity.

1988, J. V. Narlikar, A. K. Kembhavi, Nonstandard Cosmologies, Vittorio Canuto, Bruce G. Elmegreen (editors), Handbook of Astronomy, Astrophysics and Geophysics, Volume II: Galaxies and Cosmology, Gordon and Breach, page 390,
We now discuss a theory of gravitation and cosmology which is perhaps more strongly rooted in Mach's principle than any other theory discussed so far.

Thus, in any case, quantum theory is based on an absolute space-time picture and, therefore, in these formulations Mach's principle is not fulfiled.^([sic]) The following important question arises: Can quantum phenomena be treated in accordance with Mach's principle?

1995, Wolfram Schommers, Symbols, Pictures and Quantum Reality, World Scientific, page 94:

This is most famously embodied in Mach's Principle (so named by Einstein), which in its simplest form states that 'mass there influences inertia here'. More formally, it says that inertia is causally determined by the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe.

2010, David S. Oderberg, “‘Whatever is Changing is Being Changed by Something Else’: A Reappraisal of Premise One of the First Way”, in John Cottingham, Peter Hacker, editors, Mind, Method, and Morality, Oxford University Press, page 152:

Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Named for Werner Heisenberg, its discoverer, translated into English from a variety of original German terms. Heisenberg originally called the concept Ungenauigkeit (inexactness) or Unbestimmtheit (undeterminedness), whereas his mentor and collaborator Niels Bohr often used Unsicherheit (unsureness). Today in German the most commonly used term for the principle is Unschärfe (blurredness or fuzziness).

(physics, quantum mechanics) The principle that there is an absolute limit on the combined accuracy of certain pairs of simultaneous, related measurements, especially that of the position and momentum of a particle. Originally posited as a problem of measurement, it was soon refined as an inherent property of the universe.

lyotropic

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-lyotropic.wav

From lyo- + -tropic, c. 1910, presumably borrowed from German, or by analogy with earlier lyo- terms such as lyophilic or lyophilization (1894). From Ancient Greek λύω (lúō, “to loosen, to dissolve”) + τροπικός (tropikós, “of or pertaining to a turn or change; or the solstice; or a trope or figure; tropic; tropical; etc.”), from τροπή (tropḗ, “turn; solstice; trope”).

uder

“We can however say that, with electrolytes, the effects are always lyotropic. Sulphates, tartrates, etc., raise the point of solidification, decrease the period of solidification, and increase the rate of change of the viscosity with the time. They therefore help the solidification.”

1910, The Journal of Physical Chemistry,, volume 14, pages 628–629:

It is interesting to note that sulphates head one of Freundlich’s lyotropic series; but I fear that this is merely a coincidence.

1910, The British Journal of Photography,, volume 57, page 631:

The production or the condition of polarity.

(physics) The production of polarized light; the direction in which the electric field of an electromagnetic wave points.
