Ein Akronym (dt. Initialwort) (gr. ἀκρωνύμιον, von ἄκρος/ákros, „die Spitze, der Rand”, und ὄνομα/ónoma, „der Name”) ist ein Sonderfall der Abkürzung. Es gibt zwei konkurrierende Definitionen des Begriffs. Die eine Auffassung des Begriffs findet man in den großen Wörterbüchern des Deutschen, z. B. im Duden Danach ist ein Akronym definiert als Kurzwort, das aus den Anfangsbuchstaben mehrerer Wörter zusammengesetzt ist, wobei EDV (elektronische Datenverarbeitung) als Beispiel genannt wird. Die gleiche Auffassung findet man auch im Wahrig. „ADAC”, „PC” und „TÜV” sind demnach Akronyme, da sie aus den Anfangsbuchstaben der ihnen zugrunde liegenden Ausdrücke bestehen; „Abk.”, „lt.”, „Betr.” oder „kpl.” sind dagegen Abkürzungen eines anderen Typs. |

Apries $43.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Apries is the name by which Herodotus (ii. 161) and Diodorus (i. 68) designate Wahibre Haaibre, Ουαφρης (Pharaoh-Hophra), a pharaoh of Egypt (589 BC – 570 BC), the fourth king (counting from Psamtik I) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt. He was equated with the Waphres of Manetho, who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years. Apries is also called Hophra in Jeremiah 44:30. Apries inherited the throne from his father, pharaoh Psamtik II, in February 589 BC and his reign continued his father’s history of foreign intrigue in Palestinian affairs. Apries was an active builder who constructed “additions to the temples at Athribis (Tell Atrib), Bahariya Oasis, Memphis and Sais.” In Year 4 of his reign, Apries’ sister Ankhnesneferibre was adopted as the new God’s Wife of Amun at Thebes. However, Apries’ reign was also fraught with internal problems. In 588 BC, Apries dispatched a force to Jerusalem to protect it from Babylonian forces sent by Nebuchadrezzar II. His forces were quickly crushed and Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians. |

Atome $96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Un atome (grec ancien ατομος [atomos], « que l’on ne peut diviser »)[1] est la plus petite partie d’un corps simple pouvant se combiner chimiquement avec une autre. La théorie atomiste, qui soutient l’idée d’une matière composée de « grains » indivisibles (contre l’idée d’une matière indéfiniment sécable), est connue depuis l’Antiquité, et fut en particulier défendue par Démocrite, philosophe de la Grèce antique. Elle fut disputée jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle, mais n’est plus au XXIe siècle l’objet de la moindre controverse. C’est en particulier sur cette notion d’atome que reposent les sciences de la matière modernes. L’atome n’est cependant plus considéré comme un grain de matière insécable, depuis les expériences de physique nucléaire ayant mis à jour sa structure au début du XXe siècle. |

Baths of Agrippa $43.99 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Baths of Agrippa (Thermae Agrippae) in ancient Rome, built by Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, were the first of the great thermae constructed in Rome. In their first form, constructed at the same time as the Pantheon and on axis with it, as a balaneion (βαλανεῖον), they were apparently a hot-air bath with a cold plunge, not unlike a sauna. With the completion of the Aqua Virgo, the aqueduct completed by Agrippa in 19 BC, the baths were supplied with water and became regular thermae, with a large ornamental pool (Stagnum Agrippae) attached. Agrippa furnished his baths with decorations that may have been executed in glazed tiles and with works of art: the Apoxyomenos of Lysippus stood outside. He left the baths to the citizens of Rome at his death, 12 BC. |

Clavichord $43.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The clavichord is a European stringed keyboard instrument known from the late Medieval, through the Renaissance, Baroque and Classical eras. Historically, it was widely used as a practice instrument and as an aid to composition, not being loud enough for larger performances. The clavichord produces sound by striking brass or iron strings with small metal blades called tangents. Vibrations are transmitted through the bridge(s) to the soundboard. The name is derived from the Latin word clavis, meaning “key” (associated with more common clavus, meaning “nail, rod, etc.”) and chorda (from Greek χορδ?) meaning “string, especially of a musical instrument”. |

Cupressus $39.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The genus Cupressus is one of several genera within the family Cupressaceae that have the common name cypress; for the others, see cypress. It is considered a polyphyletic group. Based on genetic and morphological analysis, the Cupressus are found in the Cupressoideae subfamily (Gadek et al. 2000, Farjon 2005). The word comes from Old French “cipres” and that from Latin “cyparissus”, which is the romanization of the Greek “κυπάρισσος” (kyparissos). As currently treated, these cypresses are native to scattered localities in mainly warm temperate regions in the northern hemisphere, including western North America, Central America, north-west Africa, the Middle East, the Himalaya, southern China and north Vietnam. They are evergreen trees or large shrubs, growing to 5-40 m tall. The leaves are scale-like, 2-6 mm long, arranged in opposite decussate pairs, and persist for 3-5 years. On young plants up to 1-2 years old, the leaves are needle-like, 5-15 mm long. The cones are 8-40 mm long, globose or ovoid with 4-14 scales arranged in opposite decussate pairs; they are mature in 18-24 months from pollination. |

Cynocephaly $45 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The condition of cynocephaly, having the head of a dog or of a jackal is a widely attested legendary phenomenon existing in many different forms and contexts. The word is taken from Latin cynocephalus “dog-head”, which derives from κῠνοκέφᾰλοι. Cynocephaly was familiar to the Ancient Greeks from representations of the Egyptian god Hapi, the son of Horus, and Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead, always shown with the head of a jackal. The Greek word “dog-head” also identified a sacred Egyptian baboon with the face of a dog. Reports of dog-headed races can also be traced back to Greek antiquity. In the fifth century BC, the Greek physician Ctesias wrote a detailed report on the existence of cynocephali in India. Similarly, the Greek traveller Megasthenes claimed to know about dog-headed people in India who lived in the mountains, communicated through barking, wore the skins of wild animals and lived by hunting. |

Edema $45 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Edema (American English) or oedema (British English; both words from the Greek οἴδημα, oídēma “swelling”), formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin or in one or more cavities of the body. Generally, the amount of interstitial fluid is determined by the balance of fluid homeostasis, and increased secretion of fluid into the interstitium or impaired removal of this fluid may cause edema. A rise in hydrostatic pressure occurs in cardiac failure. A fall in osmotic pressure occurs in nephrotic syndrome and liver failure. It is commonly thought that these facts explain the occurrence of edema in these conditions. However, it has been known since the 1950s that the situation is more complex and it is still far from completely understood. |

Nine Lyric Poets $62 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The nine lyric poets (nine melic poets) were a canon of archaic Greek composers esteemed by the scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria as worthy of critical study. In most Greek sources the word melikos is used (from melos “song”), but some authors have used lyrikos, which eventually became the regular word in Latin (lyricus) and in modern languages. The ancient scholars defined the genre on the basis of the metrical form, not the content. Thus some types of poetry which would be included under the label lyric in modern literary criticism are nevertheless excluded, namely the elegy and the iambus. Their poetry is traditionally divided into choral poetry and monodic lyric. In poetry, the term monody has become specialized to refer to a poem in which one person laments another’s death. (In the context of ancient Greek literature, monody, μονῳδία could simply refer to lyric poetry sung by a single performer, rather than by a chorus.) This division is, however, contested by some modern scholars. |

Oophorectomy $52 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Oophorectomy (Pronunciation: ō’ə-fə-rěk’tə-mē; from the Greek ωὀφόρος oophoros “egg-bearing” + εκτομία ektomia “a cutting out of”) is the surgical removal of an ovary or ovaries. The surgery is also called ovariectomy, but this term has been traditionally used in basic science research describing the surgical removal of ovaries in laboratory animals. Removal of the ovaries in women is the biological equivalent of castration in males; however, the term castration is only occasionally used in the medical literature to refer to oophorectomy in humans. In the veterinary sciences, the complete removal of the ovaries, oviducts, uterine horns, and the uterus is called spaying and is a form of sterilization. In humans, oophorectomy is most often performed due to diseases such as ovarian cysts or cancer; as prophylaxis to reduce the chances of developing ovarian cancer or breast cancer; or in conjunction with removal of the uterus. |

Phenology is the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events and how these are influenced by seasonal and interannual variations in climate. The word is derived from the Greek phainomai (φαινομαι – to appear, come into view) and indicates that phenology has been principally concerned with the dates of first occurrence of biological events in their annual cycle. Examples include the date of emergence of leaves and flowers, the first flight of butterflies and the first appearance of migratory birds, the date of leaf colouring and fall in deciduous trees, the dates of egg-laying of birds and amphibia, or the timing of the developmental cycles of temperate-zone honey bee colonies. In the scientific literature on ecology, the term is used more generally to indicate the time frame for any seasonal biological phenomena, including the dates of last appearance (e.g., the seasonal phenology of a species may be from April through September). |

Polysomnography $50 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Polysomnography (PSG), also known as a sleep study, is a multi-parametric test used in the study of sleep and as a diagnostic tool in sleep medicine.

Polysomnography is a comprehensive recording of the biophysiological changes that occur during sleep. It is usually performed at night, when most people sleep, though some labs can accommodate shift workers and people with circadian rhythm sleep disorders and do the test at other times of day. The PSG monitors many body functions including brain (EEG), eye movements (EOG), muscle activity or skeletal muscle activation (EMG) and heart rhythm (ECG) during sleep. |

Primicerius $54.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Latin term primicerius, hellenized as prim(m)ikērios (Greek: πριμ(μ)ικήριος), was a title applied in the later Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire to the heads of administrative departments, and also used by the Church to denote the heads of various colleges. Etymologically the term derives from primus in cera, which is to say in tabula cerata, the first name in a list of a class of officials, which was usually inscribed on a waxed tablet. From their origin in the court of the Dominate, there were several primicerii (primikērioi in Greek, from the 12th century usually spelled primmikērioi). In the court, there was the primicerius sacri cubiculi (in Byzantine times the primikērios of the kouboukleion), in charge of the emperor’s bedchamber, almost always a eunuch. The title was also given to court officials in combination with other offices connected to the imperial person, such as the private treasury (eidikon) or the imperial wardrobe (vestiarion). |

Proskynesis $71.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Proskynesis (Greek προσκύνησις from the words πρός pros and κυνέω kuneo, literally meaning “kissing towards”) refers to the traditional Persian act of prostrating oneself before a person of higher social rank. According to Herodotus in his Histories, a person of equal rank received a kiss on the lips, someone of a slightly lower rank gave a kiss on the cheek, and someone of a very inferior social standing had to completely bow down to the other person before them. To the Greeks, giving proskynesis to a mortal seemed to be a barbarian and ludicrous practice. They reserved such submissions for the gods only. This may have led some Greeks to believe that the Persians worshipped their king, who was the only Persian that received proskynesis from everyone, and other misinterpretations caused cultural conflicts. |

Spondylolisthesis $45 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Spondylolisthesis describes the anterior displacement of a vertebra or the vertebral column in relation to the vertebrae below. It was first described in 1782 by Belgian obstetrician, Dr. Herbinaux. He reported a bony prominence anterior to the sacrum that obstructed the vagina of a small number of patients. The term “spondylolisthesis” was coined in 1854, from the Greek σπονδυλος = “vertebra” and “ὁλισθος” = “slipperiness”, “a slip”. The variant “listhesis”, resulting from misdivision of this compound word, is sometimes applied in conjunction with scoliosis. These “slips” occur most commonly in the lumbar spine. A hangman’s fracture is a specific type of spondylolisthesis where the C1 vertebra is displaced anteriorly relative to the C2 vertebra due to fractures of the C2 vertebra’s pedicles. |
