20. Articulation of terms
Partitioned are words, at least one part of which is repeated in any other words that are correlated with the data by meaning. Articulation of different words may be complete or incomplete. Those derivatives are fully segmented, all the constituent parts of which (individual morphemes or a block of morphemes) are repeated in other derivatives. If not every significant part is found in other modern medical terms, then the derivative has incomplete articulation. For example, the following words:
1) with full articulation: pod-algia (Greek pus, podos - "leg" + algos - "pain"), neur-algia (Greek neuron - "nerve"), as well as my-algia (Greek mys, myos - "muscle"), kephal-o-metria (Greek kephalos - "head"), thorac-o-metria (Greek thorax, thorakos - "chest", "chest"), etc.;
2) with incomplete articulation: pod-agra (Greek podagra - "trap"; aching legs; from pus, podos - "leg" + agra - "capture", "attack"). If the first part is singled out, as it is found in a number of modern terms, then the second part - agra - is practically a single one.
Almost all terms - derived words that arose naturally in the ancient Greek and Latin languages or artificially created from morphemes and generating stems of these languages, are completely segmentable. This means that they are also fully motivated in the modern terminology. The remarkable property of complete articulation becomes even more important for those who master the basics of medical terminology due to the fact that a significant number of morphemes and blocks of morphemes are frequent.
Frequency should be considered those morphemes and blocks that are repeated in different words at least 2-3 times. It is clear that the greater the degree of frequency, i.e., the greater the number of uses, parts of derivatives have, the more significant their role in terminology. Some high-frequency morphemes and blocks are involved in the formation of dozens of terms.
Many morphemes of the ancient Greek and Latin languages acquired specific, sometimes new, meanings unusual for them in the ancient source language. Such meanings are called terminological. So, for example, the Greek word kytos (vessel, cavity) in the Latinized form cytus began to be used as a regular root morpheme in the structure of dozens of terms - derived words - in the meaning of "cell". The suffix of ancient Greek adjectives -itis, which gave them the general meaning of "related, belonging", became a regular part of terms - nouns with the meaning "inflammation".

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship
08.05.2024
Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Self-healing glass for smartphones
05.04.2017
Researchers at the University of California at Riverside have unveiled the world's first self-healing glass for smartphones, capable of "healing" minor scratches and chips.
Until now, there were two ways to revive a smartphone with broken glass after a fall - replace the glass or buy a new smartphone. Scientists from the University of California at Riverside have come up with a third way: self-healing glass for a smartphone.
On April 4, 2017, it was presented at the regular meeting of the American Chemical Society. According to Business Insider, the material for such a screen is made of an elastic polymer and ionic salt.
The material has a special type of bond - ion-dipole interaction. Due to it, ions are able to attract polar molecules (with a constant or induced dipole moment) of other substances. When a material is damaged or scratched, the ions and molecules are attracted to each other to "heal" the material. It can stretch up to 50 times its original size.
Several tests were carried out on the ability of the material to self-heal and get rid of cuts and scratches. "Once the material was torn in two, it was able to 'glue' back to its original state within 24 hours," explained chemist Chao Wang involved in the project.
Of course, it is unlikely that such glass will be able to assemble by itself, being shattered, however, according to scientists, it may well cope with a scratch or a small chip.
