barycentreThe point at the centre of a system; an average point, weighted according to mass or other attribute. The term is usually used in astronomy for the centre of mass about which a system rotates, for example, the moon and the earth rotate about a common point within the earth but not near the centre. Jupiter and the Sun rotate about a common point just outside the surface of the Sun.
barycentricOf or pertaining to a centre of gravity.
baryeA unit of pressure under the CGS system; symbol Ba; equal to 1 dyne per square centimeter. 1 Ba = 0.1 Pa = 0.1 N/m2 = 1x10⁻⁶ bar.
baryliteAn orthorhombic-pyramidal mineral containing barium, beryllium, oxygen, and silicon.
barymetricrelated to barymetry (calculation of the size and weight animals)
barymetryCalculation of the size and weight of animals.
barymorphosisThe changes produced in an organism by gravity.
baryochemicalDescribing the characteristics of systems of baryons at very high pressure
baryogenesisThe generation of baryonic matter in the early moments of the Big Bang.
baryonA heavy subatomic particle created by the binding of quarks by gluons; a hadron containing three quarks. Baryons have half-odd integral spin and are thus fermions. This category includes the common proton and neutron of the atomic nucleus.
baryonicOf, pertaining to, or composed of baryons.
baryoniumA particle-like resonance preferentially coupled to baryon-antibaryon channels. It is described either as a baryon-antibaryon compound or composed of a diquark and an antidiquark.
baryonlikeHaving some characteristics of a baryon.
baryonychidAny of the dinosaurs in family †Baryonychidae, a synonym of †Spinosauridae.
baryonychineAny theropod dinosaur of the subfamily Baryonychinae.
baryonyxBaryonyx walkeri, a theropod from the Cretaceous period discovered in 1983 in Surrey, England by William Walker, believed to be an ancestor of Spinosaurus.
barytolamprophylliteA monoclinic-prismatic mineral containing aluminum, barium, calcium, fluorine, hydrogen, iron, magnesium, manganese, niobium, oxygen, potassium, silicon, sodium, strontium, and titanium.
barytonA viol-like stringed instrument (chordophone) mainly played with a bow but with a set of plucked strings as well, originating in European music prior to the 1800s.
barytoneNot having an accent on the last syllable.
barytonesisThe shift of accent from the last syllable of a stem or word to a preceding syllable.
basbousaA traditional Middle Eastern sweet cake, made from cooked semolina or farina soaked in simple syrup which may also contain orange flower water or rose water.
baseSomething from which other things extend; a foundation.
baseballA sport common in North America, the Caribbean, and East Asia, in which the objective is to strike a ball so that one of a nine-person team can run counter-clockwise among four bases, resulting in the scoring of a run. The team with the most runs after termination of play, usually nine innings, wins.
basemanA player positioned at or near a base: first baseman, second baseman or third baseman.
basemapThe map used as the basic map. Other data may be overlaid upon a basemap: for example, an aerial imagery basemap on which is overlaid property lines.
basemeanThe mean (average) of the dispersion of a gene
