ana-, an-, ano-, am-
(Greek: up, upward; back, backward, against; again, anew; used as a prefix)
2. Fish; such as, salmon and shad that return from the sea to the rivers where they were born in order to breed.
The best-known anadromous fish are salmon, which hatch in small freshwater streams, go down to the sea and dwell there for several years, then return to the same streams where they were hatched, spawn, and then die shortly thereafter.
2. A progressive pattern of evolution of a species that results in linear descent with no branching or splitting of the population.
2. A stereogram in which the two views are printed or projected superimposed in complementary colors, usually red and blue.
By viewing through filter spectacles of corresponding complementary colors, a stereoscopic image is formed.
3. A decoration carved in low relief, so that the shape of the design projects only slightly from the background.2. The art of copying works in relief, or of engraving as to give the subject an embossed or raised appearance; used in representing coins, bas-reliefs, etc.
A bas-relief, or low relief, is a sculptural form in which figures are carved in a flat surface and project only slightly from the background rather than standing freely.
Depending on the degree of projection, reliefs may also be classified as either a high or a medium relief.
2. Etymology: from Late Latin anagoge which came from Late Greek anagōgē, and from Greek, anagein, "to refer", from ana-, "up" + agein, "to lead".
2. A word or phrase that contains all the letters of another word or phrase in a different order; for example, "no more stars" is an anagram of "astronomers".
The word "now" is an anagram of "won" and "dread" is an anagram of "adder" (or vice versa in each example). Other interesting anagrams came from William Shakespear: "We all make his praise" and "I ask me has Will a peer?" Samuel Butler had a novel titled, Erewhon, which is an anagram of "Nowhere".
Another famous anagram comes from Pilate's question as seen in the Bible; John 18:38, Quid est veritus? (What is truth?) Vir est qui adest. (It is the man before you.) Pilate is not credited with having arranged this anagram.
The Bible passage merely says, "Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault [crime] at all." The point is, there is no reason to believe that Pilate compiled the anagram!
Man's security comes from within himself, and the security of all men is founded upon the security of the individual.
An autocatalytic process is a modification (usually acceleration) of a chemical reaction rate by addition of a catalyst (substance that can cause a change in the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed in the reaction) which combines with the reactants but is ultimately regenerated so that its amount remains unchanged and the chemical equilibrium of the conditions of the reaction is not altered.
Molecules or atoms of the same kind but differing in their energy content are called kinetomers; one of high energy content is an anakinetomer or anakinetomeric form, one of low energy content is a catakinetomer or catakinetomeric form and is said to be in a catakinetic state.
2. A reference to anakinesis or an autocatalytic process, thought to be characteristic of living matter, by which certain molecules or atoms are rendered rich in energy and consequently reactive.
