Controlment :: Controlment (n.) Opposition; resistance; hostility.

Platinum :: Platinum (n.) A metallic element, intermediate in value between silver and gold, occurring native or alloyed with other metals, also as the platinum arsenide (sperrylite). It is heavy tin-white metal which is ductile and malleable, but very infusible, and characterized by its resistance to strong chemical reagents. It is used for crucibles, for stills for sulphuric acid, rarely for coin, and in the form of foil and wire for many purposes. Specific gravity 21.5. Atomic weight 194.3. Symbol Pt. Fo

Resistful :: Resistful (a.) Making much resistance.

Abutment :: Abutment (n.) A fixed point or surface from which resistance or reaction is obtained, as the cylinder head of a steam engine, the fulcrum of a lever, etc..

Megohm :: Megohm (n.) One of the larger measures of electrical resistance, amounting to one million ohms..

Joule :: "Joule (n.) A unit of work which is equal to 107 units of work in the C. G. S. system of units (ergs), and is practically equivalent to the energy expended in one second by an electric current of one ampere in a resistance of one ohm. One joule is approximately equal to 0.738 foot pounds..

Antiperistasis :: Antiperistasis (n.) Opposition by which the quality opposed asquires strength; resistance or reaction roused by opposition or by the action of an opposite principle or quality.

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.

Reluctation :: Reluctation (n.) Repugnance; resistance; reluctance.

Fixation :: Fixation (n.) A state of resistance to evaporation or volatilization by heat; -- said of metals.

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..

Fight :: Fight (v. i.) To act in opposition to anything; to struggle against; to contend; to strive; to make resistance.

Counterstand :: Counterstand (n.) Resistance; opposition; a stand against.

Fan :: Fan (n.) Any revolving vane or vanes used for producing currents of air, in winnowing grain, blowing a fire, ventilation, etc., or for checking rapid motion by the resistance of the air; a fan blower; a fan wheel..

Fly :: Fly (v. i.) Two or more vanes set on a revolving axis, to act as a fanner, or to equalize or impede the motion of machinery by the resistance of the air, as in the striking part of a clock..

Reflex :: Reflex (a.) Produced in reaction, in resistance, or in return..

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

Inert :: Inert (a.) Destitute of the power of moving itself, or of active resistance to motion; as, matter is inert..

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

Opposition :: Opposition (n.) The act of opposing; an attempt to check, restrain, or defeat; resistance..
