Degenerate
41Degenerate art — Cover of the exhibition program: Degenerate Art exhibition, 1937. Note the word Kunst , meaning art, in scare quotes Cover of the exhibition program …
42Degenerate dimension — Contents 1 The Kimball definition 2 Other uses of the term 3 See also 4 External reference 5 Notes …
43Degenerate form — For other uses, see Degeneracy. In mathematics, specifically linear algebra, a degenerate bilinear form ƒ(x,y) on a vector space V is one such that the map from V to V * (the dual space of V) given by is not an isomorphism. An equivalent… …
44Degenerate orbital — See also: Degenerate energy level Degenerate orbitals for electrons in an atomic subshell are orbitals at identical energy levels. These are important in physical chemistry because they affect the ways electrons fill atoms (see Hund s rule). For… …
45Degenerate semiconductor — This article is about highly doped semiconductors that begin to show metal like electronic behavior. For other uses, see Degeneracy. A degenerate semiconductor is a semiconductor with such a high level of doping that the material starts to act… …
46Degenerate energy level — This article is about different quantum states having the same energy. For other uses, see Degeneracy. In physics, two or more different quantum states are said to be degenerate if they are all at the same energy level. Statistically this means… …
47degenerate art — ▪ art exhibition GermanEntartete Kunst term used by the Nazi Party in Germany to describe art that did not support the ideals of National Socialism. It was also the title of a propagandistically designed Nazi (Nazi Party) exhibition of… …
48degenerate gas — ▪ physics in physics, a particular configuration, usually reached at high densities, of a gas composed of subatomic particles with half integral intrinsic angular momentum (spin). Such particles are called fermions (fermion), because their… …
49degenerate, deteriorate — These words mean to make or become worse, to decline in physical, moral, or mental qualities. Degenerate suggests that a decline is due to some loss of virtue or worthwhile quality, whereas deteriorate has more the meaning of to wear away or to… …
50degenerate primer — A single stranded synthetic oligonucleotide designed to hybridize to DNA encoding a particular protein sequence. As the mapping of codons to amino acids is many to one, the oligonucleotide must be made as a mixture with several different bases at …
