Resin
Resin, also called natural resin, is a sticky, viscous substance exuded by plants like pines as a defense, and by extension any synthetic polymer used in plastics and adhesives.
Resin acid
Resin acids are tricyclic C20 diterpene monocarboxylic acids (C19H29COOH, MW 302) of abietane and pimarane skeletons that make up rosin, conifers' stored chemical defense.
Resin casting
Resin casting is a plastic casting method in which a liquid synthetic resin, usually a two-part polyurethane or epoxy, is poured into a mold and hardens.
Resin identification code
A resin identification code (RIC) is the numbered triangle marking on plastic articles that identifies the resin used, developed in 1988 and administered by ASTM International since 2008.
Resin transfer molding
Resin transfer molding (RTM) is a closed-mold process that makes fiber-reinforced composites by injecting liquid resin into a mold around a dry preform, used in aerospace and automotive manufacturing.
Resin-in-leach
Resin-in-leach (RIL) is a hydrometallurgical process for recovering gold in which ion exchange resin beads are added to the cyanide leach slurry, so adsorption and leaching occur in the same tanks.
Resiniferatoxin
Resiniferatoxin (RTX), a daphnane diterpenoid from Euphorbia resinifera latex (euphorbium), isolated 1975, is a potent TRPV1 agonist more potent than capsaicin, in trials as a single-dose analgesic for intractable cancer pain.
Resins and polymers
Resins and polymers (EU ID 1121) is a category in the EU Pesticides Database covering resin and polymer materials used as inert pesticide formulants, controlled-release matrices, and pesticidal carriers, with reduced data requirements in the US, Canada, and EU frameworks.
Resist.UA
Resist.UA is a Ukrainian venture capital and private equity fund, founded by former banker Roman Sulzhyk and three partners, investing in front-line-tested defense and dual-use startups.
Resistance (2020 film)

Resistance 3
Resistance 3 is a 2011 first-person shooter by Insomniac Games for PlayStation 3, the last main entry in the Resistance series, following Joseph Capelli through an alternate 1950s America conquered by the alien Chimera.
Resistance during World War II
Resistance during World War II: clandestine armed and civilian opposition by populations of Axis-occupied countries, including the French Resistance, Polish Home Army, Yugoslav and Soviet partisans, and Philippine guerrillas.
Resistance movement
Resistance movement: organized opposition to occupation or regime, notably WWII movements against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan (Widerstand, partisans, SOE-backed networks), spanning sabotage, intelligence, and armed struggle.
Resistance poetry
Resistance poetry (Arabic: shi'r al-muqawama) is poetry written in the service of resistance to occupation and oppression, most closely associated with Palestinian poetry after the 1948 Nakba.
Resistance Records
Resistance Records: white power music label founded December 1993 by George Burdi in Windsor, Ontario, moved to Detroit, later owned by the National Alliance's William Pierce; webstore closed 2017.
Resistance thermometer
A resistance thermometer, also called a resistance temperature detector or RTD, is a temperature sensor that determines temperature from the electrical resistance of a platinum element.
Resistance to thyroid hormone due to a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor alpha
Resistance to thyroid hormone due to a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor alpha (RTHα) is a rare inherited disorder caused by THRA gene mutations, first identified in 2012.
Resistance to thyroid hormone due to a mutation in thyroid hormone receptor beta
RTHβ (resistance to thyroid hormone beta), THRB/TRβ mutation disorder: elevated free T4/T3 with non-suppressed TSH, goiter, tachycardia, short stature, ADHD; autosomal dominant, about 1 in 40,000.
Resistance welding
Resistance welding is a group of joining processes that presses metal parts together and passes current through them, heating the joint by its own resistance.
Resistance: Fall of Man
Resistance: Fall of Man is Insomniac Games' 2006 PlayStation 3 launch first-person shooter, set in alternate 1950s Europe against the Chimera, starring Nathan Hale, with 40-player online multiplayer and a Metacritic score of 86.
Resistant dextrin
Resistant dextrin, also called resistant maltodextrin or indigestible dextrin, is a soluble starch-derived dietary fiber whose 1,2- and 1,3-glycosidic bonds resist digestion, reaching the colon for fermentation; FDA GRAS-recognized and fiber-labeled.
Resistant hypertension
Resistant hypertension is blood pressure that remains above goal despite three antihypertensive drugs of different classes including a diuretic, affecting roughly 5 to 10 percent of treated patients.
Resistant starch
Resistant starch is starch that escapes small-intestinal digestion and is fermented in the colon to short-chain fatty acids. Types RS1–RS5; sources include legumes, green bananas, and cooked-cooled starches; studied for glycemic, lipid, and bowel benefits.
Resistencia
Resistencia is the capital of Chaco province, northeastern Argentina, founded by Italian (Friulian) colonists in 1878, named for Avalos's defensive palisade, declared National Capital of Sculptures in 2006, flood-prone Paraná floodplain city.
Resistin-like molecule hormone family
Resistin-like molecule (RELM/FIZZ) hormone family: cysteine-rich secreted proteins including resistin, RELMα, RELMβ, RELMγ; four members in rodents, two in humans; roles in inflammation, metabolism, host defense.
Resistive magnetohydrodynamics
Resistive magnetohydrodynamics, or resistive MHD, is the extension of ideal magnetohydrodynamics in which a plasma has finite electrical resistivity, so magnetic fields can diffuse through it.
Resistive plate chamber
The resistive plate chamber (RPC) is a fast gaseous particle detector used as the standard muon trigger technology at particle colliders such as the LHC.
Resistive switching
Resistive switching is the reversible change of a thin insulating film's resistance under applied voltage between two electrodes, letting two-terminal devices such as RRAM store data as resistance states.
