-
An electric phenomenon corresponding to that of acoustic resonance, due to the existance of certain relations of the capacity, inductance, resistance, and frequency of an alternating circuit.
-
A prolongation or increase of any sound, either by reflection, as in a cavern or apartment the walls of which are not distant enough to return a distinct echo, or by the production of vibrations in other bodies, as a sounding-board, or the bodies of musical instruments.

-
The ability to send back or prolong sound; a round, full, vibrating quality of sound; as, the resonance of an organ; in physics, the lengthening or strengthening of a sound owing to sympathetic vibrations set in motion by the waves of sound.

-
Act of resounding: the returning of sound by reflection or by the production of vibrations in other bodies.
By Daniel Lyons
-
A resounding; a reverberation of sounds. A thrilling of the voice more loud than natural; or its existence in a part where it is not heard in health, - as detected by auscultation. A thickened and hardened state of the lungs, caused either by a mass of crude tubercles, or by inflammation, is generally considered to produce this phenomenon, by rendering the lung a better conductor of the murmur of the voice in the bronchi. Hence the origin of the term Bronchophony, from 'bronchus,' and, 'the voice;' (F.) Voix bronchique, Voix tubaire, V. burdonnante. Resonance is also used in the sense of resounding; as when the chest is said to be resonant on percussion.
By Robley Dunglison
-
Sound elicited by percussion.

Platidiam
- An inorganic water-soluble platinum complex. After undergoing hydrolysis, it reacts DNA produce both intra interstrand crosslinks. These crosslinks appear to impair replication and transcription of DNA. The cytotoxicity cisplatin correlates with cellular arrest in G2 phase cell cycle.
