second quantization kuântomeš-e dovom Fr.: deuxième quantification In quantum mechanics, the quantization of the field that replaces potential in Newtonian mechanics, whereby the field variables become operators from which the creation (of particle) operators and destruction operators can be constructed. → second; → quantization. |
second-order logic guyik-e râye-ye dovom Fr.: logique du seconde ordre An n extension of → first-order logic that quantifies not only → variables that range over → individuals, but also quantifies over → relations. |
secondary dovomân Fr.: secondaire 1) Derived or derivative; not primary or original. From → second + -ary a suffix occurring on adjectives (elementary; honorary; stationary) and nouns denoting objects, especially receptacles or places (library; rosary; glossary). Dovomân, from dovom, → second. |
secondary atmosphere javv-e dovomân, havâsepehr-e ~ Fr.: atmosphère secondaire An atmosphere of a planet that forms after primordial gases had been lost or had failed to accumulate. A secondary atmosphere develops from internal volcanic outgassing, or by accumulation of material from comet impacts. It is characteristic of terrestrial planets, such as Earth, Mercury, Venus, and Mars. → primordial atmosphere. → secondary; → atmosphere. |
secondary body jesm-e dovomân Fr.: corps secondaire A body that revolves around a more massive body
under the → gravitational attraction of the latter
is called the → primary body. |
secondary calibrator kabizande-ye dovomân Fr.: calibrateur secondaire An indicator of extragalactic distances that relies on → primary calibrators in our Galaxy. Secondary calibrators of the distance scale depend on statistical measures of the properties of a class of objects, such as the brightness of H II regions, globular clusters, red and blue stars, or the neutral hydrogen 21-cm line width or velocity dispersion (of spiral galaxies), etc. Same as secondary distance indicator. → secondary; → calibrator. |
secondary cell pil-e dovomân Fr.: An electric cell that can be charged by passing a current through it in reverse direction to its discharge. Same as → accumulator. See also → primary cell. |
secondary cosmic rays partowhâ-ye keyhâni-ye dovomân Fr.: rayons cosmiques secondaires A burst of secondary charged and neutral particles arising when → primary cosmic rays collide with the atmospheric oxygen or nitrogen nuclei in the upper atmosphere. The collision produces mostly → pions (π), along with some → kaons (K), → antiprotons, and → antineutrons. Neutral pions very quickly decay, usually into two → gamma rays. Charged pions also decay but after a longer time. Therefore, some of the pions may collide with yet another nucleus of the air before decaying, which would be into a → muon and a → neutrino. The fragments of the incoming nucleus also interact again, also producing new particles. |
secondary crater lâvak-e dovomân, kandâl-e ~ Fr.: cratère secondaire A crater formed by the relatively low-velocity impact of fragments ejected from a large primary crater. Secondary craters tend to cluster in a ring around the primary crater. |
secondary eclipse gereft-e dovomân Fr.: éclipse secondaire Of a transiting → exoplanet, the event and the interval of time during which the planet passes behind its host star. → primary eclipse. |
secondary electrons elektronhâ-ye dovomân Fr.: électrons secondaires Electrons ejected from the atoms of a material when bombarded with high energy electrons. Secondary electrons are produced when an incident electron excites an electron in the material and loses some of its energy in the process. The excited electron moves toward the surface of the sample undergoing elastic and inelastic collisions until it reaches the surface, where it can escape if it still has sufficient energy. The secondary electron yield depends on many factors, and is generally higher for high atomic number targets, and at higher angles of incidence. |
secondary emission gosil-e dovomân Fr.: émission secondaire The emission of → secondary electrons from the surface of a material when an incident particle (often, charged particle such as electron or ion) impacts the material with sufficient energy. |
secondary mirror âyene-ye dovomân Fr.: miroir secondaire The second reflecting surface in a → reflecting telescope. It directs the light either out a side opening of the tube (→ Newtonian telescope) or back toward a → focal point behind and through the → primary mirror (→ Cassegrain telescope). The secondary is usually suspended in the beam and therefore obstructs part of the primary. |
secondary rainbow rangin-kamân-e dovomân Fr.: arc-en-ciel secondaire A fainter rainbow appearing about 10° above the → primary rainbow, as viewed by the observer. The secondary rainbow is about twice as wide, and has its colors reversed. |
secondary star setâre-ye dovomân Fr.: étoile secondaire In a → binary system, the star that revolves around the more massive → primary component. |
secret râz (#) Fr.: secret 1) Something that is or is kept secret, hidden, or concealed; a
→ mystery. From L. secretus "set apart, withdrawn; hidden, concealed," p.p. of secernere "to set apart, part, divide; exclude," from se- "without, apart," properly "on one's own" + cernere "to separate," → crisis. Râz, from Mid.Pers. râz "secret, mystery;" cognate with Mod.Pers. rastan/rah- "to escape, be liberated;" O.Pers. (+*aua-) avarad- "to leave, abandon;" cf. Skt. rah- "to be lost, be lonely," rahas- "loneliness, privacy; a secret, mystery" (Cheung 2007). |
secretariat dabirxâné (#) Fr.: secrétariat The officials or office entrusted with administrative duties, maintaining records, and overseeing or performing secretarial duties, especially for an international organization (Dictionary.com). From Fr. secrétariat, from M.L. secretariatus, from secretarius, → secretary. Dabirxâné, literally "house of secretaries," from dabir, → secretary, + xâné, → house. |
secretary dabir (#) Fr.: secrétaire A person, usually an official, who is in charge of the records, correspondence, minutes of meetings, and related affairs of an organization, company, association, etc. (Dictionary.com). M.E. secretarie "one trusted with private or secret matters; confidant," from M.L. secretarius "confidential officer, confidant, clerk, notary," from L. secretum "a secret, a hidden thing." Dabir, from Mid.Pers. dipîr, contraction of dipîvar (Mid.Pers. dip, dīp "document;" dīb "letter"); from O.Pers., from Proto-Ir. *dipī-uara- "he who preserves the documents;" cf. O.Pers. dipī- "inscription" + *Huar- "to cover;" cf. Av. vār- "to cover, hide, protect." |
secretary-general dabir-harvain Fr.: secrétaire général The head or chief administrative officer of a secretariat. |
section sekanj (#) Fr.: section A part that is cut off or separated. From M.Fr. section, from L. sectionem "a cutting, division," from secare "to cut;" PIE base *sek- "cut" (cf. O.C.S. seko, sesti "to cut," Lith. isekti "to engrave, carve;" O.S. segasna, O.E. sigðe "scythe;" O.E. secg "sword," seax "knife, short sword"). Sekanj "a scraping, shaving, cutting," cognate with Pers. šekast-, šekastan "to break;" Av. skand- "to break," Skt. khand- "to break," khanda- "piece;" Pers. dialect Tabari šag "a special razor used to make incisions in the walls of unripe opium poppies in order to extract the milky sap," may be related to PIE *sek- "cut," as above. |
