Isotropy :: Isotropy (n.) Uniformity of physical properties in all directions in a body; absence of all kinds of polarity; specifically, equal elasticity in all directions..

Pole :: Pole (n.) See Polarity, and Polar, n..

Apsis :: Apsis (n.) In a curve referred to polar coordinates, any point for which the radius vector is a maximum or minimum..

Multipolar :: Multipolar (a.) Having many poles; -- applied especially to those ganglionic nerve cells which have several radiating processes.

Lodestone :: Lodestone (n.) A piece of magnetic iron ore possessing polarity like a magnetic needle. See Magnetite.

Depolarization :: Depolarization (n.) The act of depriving of polarity, or the result of such action; reduction to an unpolarized condition..

Polarize :: Polarize (v. t.) To communicate polarity to.

Bibliopolar :: Bibliopolar (a.) Of or pertaining to the sale of books.

Dextrose :: Dextrose (n.) A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice..

Rotatory :: Rotatory (a.) Producing rotation of the plane of polarization; as, the rotatory power of bodies on light. See the Note under polarization..

Dextrin :: Dextrin (n.) A translucent, gummy, amorphous substance, nearly tasteless and odorless, used as a substitute for gum, for sizing, etc., and obtained from starch by the action of heat, acids, or diastase. It is of somewhat variable composition, containing several carbohydrates which change easily to their respective varieties of sugar. It is so named from its rotating the plane of polarization to the right; -- called also British gum, Alsace gum, gommelin, leiocome, etc. See Achroodextrin, and Ery

Subpolygonal :: Subpolar (a.) Situated below the poles.

Electricity :: Electricity (n.) A power in nature, a manifestation of energy, exhibiting itself when in disturbed equilibrium or in activity by a circuit movement, the fact of direction in which involves polarity, or opposition of properties in opposite directions; also, by attraction for many substances, by a law involving attraction between surfaces of unlike polarity, and repulsion between those of like; by exhibiting accumulated polar tension when the circuit is broken; and by producing heat, light, concus

Dextro- :: Dextro- () having the property of turning the plane of polarized light to the right; as, dextrotartaric acid..

Polarizing :: Polarizing (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Polariz.

Polarity :: Polarity (n.) A property of the conic sections by virtue of which a given point determines a corresponding right line and a given right line determines a corresponding point. See Polar, n..

Depolarizer :: Depolarizer (n.) A substance used to prevent polarization, as upon the negative plate of a voltaic battery..

Polaric :: Polaric (a.) See Polar.

Depolarize :: Depolarize (v. t.) To deprive of polarity; to reduce to an unpolarized condition.

Differential :: Differential (n.) One of two coils of conducting wire so related to one another or to a magnet or armature common to both, that one coil produces polar action contrary to that of the other..
