Related Words:

trench foot collapse: resembling frostbite but without freezing; resulting from exposure to cold and wet

radiation sickness collapse: syndrome resulting from exposure to ionizing radiation (e.g., exposure to radioactive chemicals or to nuclear explosions); low doses cause diarrhea and nausea and vomiting and sometimes loss of hair; greater exposure can cause sterility and cataracts and some forms of cancer and other diseases; severe exposure can cause death within hours; "he was suffering from radiation"

jet lag collapse: fatigue and sleep disturbance resulting from disruption of the body's normal circadian rhythm as a result of jet travel

mushroom cloud collapse

resonance collapse: the quality imparted to voiced speech sounds by the action of the resonating chambers of the throat and mouth and nasal cavities; a vibration of large amplitude produced by a relatively small vibration near the same frequency of vibration as the natural frequency of the resonating system; an excited state of a stable particle causing a sharp maximum in the probability of absorption of electromagnetic radiation

wavelength collapse: the distance (measured in the direction of propagation) between two points in the same phase in consecutive cycles of a wave; a shared orientation leading to mutual understanding; "they are on the same wavelength"

mechanics collapse: the branch of physics concerned with the motion of bodies in a frame of reference

superheat collapse

radiator collapse: a mechanism consisting of a metal honeycomb through which hot fluids circulate; heat is transferred from the fluid through the honeycomb to the airstream that is created either by the motion of the vehicle or by a fan; heater consisting of a series of pipes for circulating steam or hot water to heat rooms or buildings; any object that radiates energy

distribution collapse: the act of distributing or spreading or apportioning; the commercial activity of transporting and selling goods from a producer to a consumer; the spatial property of being scattered about over an area or volume; (statistics) an arrangement of values of a variable showing their observed or theoretical frequency of occurrence

thermodynamics collapse: the branch of physics concerned with the conversion of different forms of energy
