Abjection
* is humiliation
* remembrance of the pre-objectal stage.

Adulation
* grave fault if it makes one an accomplice in another's vices or grave sins.
* is flattery

Astronomical research
* assists the nation, directly and indirectly, in achieving societal goals.
* stimulates new advances in computing.

Amebiasis
* can be fatal, especially to infants and children
  - cause both intraluminal and disseminated disease
* is another disease which can cause proctitis and can be transmitted by ano-oral sex
  - common in tropical areas where living conditions are crowded and sanitation is poor
  - contagious
  - contracted by swallowing the cyst stage of the parasite in contaminated food or water
  - infection
  - more common and more severe in subtropical and tropical areas
  - treatable with antibiotics
* is treated with antibacterial medications
  - medicine
* leading parasitic cause of death.
* occurs throughout the world from tropical to subpolar.
* parasitic infection of the large intestine.

Acclimation
* begins within a few days of exposure to the heat.
* is accomplished by enzyme reduction, gene mutation and gene transfer
  - adjustment
  - the gradual adjustment of a plant to new conditions
* naturally occurring physiological process in many temperate perennial plants.
* very important part of any athlete's life
  - step for a plant's long and healthy life

Asceticism
* calls for severe abstinence and austerity.
* corrective practice, a vision of repentance.
* is doctrines
  - immaturity
  - the practice of extreme self-denial for the purpose of gaining religious advantage
  - thus a refusal to accept fear as the final state of our being
  - to remain pure amidst impurities
* lies in remaining pure amidst impurities.
* offers a critical perspective on sexuality
  - practical examples of conservation
* takes holy living and corrupts it.

Adsorption
* appears to increase with increasing organic content and decreasing pH of soil.
* begins right in the mouth and exceeds that reported when powder alone is used.
* depends on the substrate and the specific species in question.
* describes how tightly a compound becomes attached to soil particles.
* is exothermic and increases at lower temperatures
  - generally temperature and energy independent
  - higher in dry soils than in moist soil
  - sorption
* is the collection of a substance on the surface of another
  - first step in the viral life cycle
  - useful for an electron source if the adsorbate increases emission
  - well understood for single contaminants at high concentrations
  - well-described by the potential of eq
  - when one substance is being held inside another by physical bonds
* means to collect gas or liquid modules onto the surface of another material.
* occurs because of the attraction between chemicals and soil particles
  - by condensation of the adsorbate in the adsorbents pores
  - rapidly, such that strongly adsorbed chemicals essentially have no soil activity
  - to specific cellular receptors
* occurs when atoms from a gas land on the substrate and bind to the solid surface
  - contaminants attach or sorb to underground particles
  - gas molecules become trapped in the pores of a porous solid adsorbent
* physical process which occurs without chemical reaction.
* refers to the condensation of gas or vapor on the surface of a solid.
* relies on the fact that many organic molecules are polar in nature.
* removes the metal from the water column and stores the metal in the substrate.
* surface phenomenon.
* takes place because of the attraction of ions to a surface
  - in a filter bed in what is known as the active filter zone
  - only when there are receptors on both the host cell and the virus
