  Open Adoption - Adoption Encyclopedia
Open adoption differs from COOPERATIVE ADOPTION, in which there is an assumption of an active and continued involvement on the part of the birthparent(s) with the child, with parental decisions shared or the birthparents consulted about major issues.
Open adoption proponents insist the commonly felt experience among many new adoptive parents of wondering whether every young woman in the supermarket is the birthmother is not a problem in an open adoption when the adopting parents know exactly who the birthmother is.
Open adoption advocates also believe adoptive parents gain a strong respect for the birthmother when they actually know who she is. They claim the sense of ENTITLEMENT adoptive parents feel toward the child is stronger when the adoptive parents are personally chosen.

 Open Records - Adoption Encyclopedia
Open record proponents argue that adopted adults are treated as if they were children and forced to adhere to a contract they never agreed upon when confidentiality is mandated.
Some open records proponents argue that adopted people need medical information, although this reason is often used as a "front" because curiosity would probably not satisfy a judge deciding whether or not to release records.
Proponents of open records argue that they want "openness and honesty" and abhor "secrecy." However, it's doubtful that they share all information about themselves with others, such as income, personal problems, etc. It is likely that the issue of open records will continue to be hotly debated into the next century.

 Open: West's Encyclopedia of American Law
To open a judgment means to render it capable of reexamination by removing or relaxing the bar of its finality.
A judgment is ordinarily opened at the insistence of a party who is able to show good cause as to why the execution of the judgment would be inequitable.
The term open is also used as an adjective in reference to that which is patent, visible, apparent, or notorious, such as a defect in a product, or conduct such as lewdness.

 open cluster
Open clusters are only weakly held together by gravity and are fated to disperse over a period of several hundred million years.
The stars in open clusters have formed together within the same interstellar cloud; indeed, in many diffuse nebulae, the birth of new open clusters can be seen taking place.
As open clusters drift along, some of their members escape due to velocity changes in mutual closer encounters, tidal forces in the galactic gravitational field, and encounters with field stars and interstellar clouds passing their way.

 Open Reading Frame
An open reading frame (ORF) is a similar sequence that can be translated into a protein or a polypeptide.
In any open reading frame, the start-code sequence or initiation codon that begins the protein is methionine ATG, and then stop-code sequence or termination codon ends it.
Sometimes short open reading frames occur outside the genes, simply by chance, and these are generally examined and discarded.

 GLAUCOMA,
So-called chronic open-angle, or wide-angle, glaucoma is the most common form of glaucoma in the U.S. In this condition the drainage angle remains open, with no damage visible, but drainage of the aqueous fluid is impaired and intraocular pressure typically increases.
In some cases, known as low-tension, or normal-tension, glaucoma, the optic nerve may become damaged while eye pressure is in the normal range, perhaps because the nerve is abnormally sensitive or suffers a reduced blood supply as a result of atherosclerosis.
Except as otherwise permitted by written agreement, uses of the work inconsistent with U.S. and applicable foreign copyright and related laws are prohibited.

 Karl Popper (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
He was also a social and political philosopher of considerable stature, a self-professed ‘critical-rationalist’, a dedicated opponent of all forms of scepticism, conventionalism, and relativism in science and in human affairs generally, a committed advocate and staunch defender of the ‘Open Society’, and an implacable critic of totalitarianism in all of its forms.
The Poverty of Historicism (1944) and The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945), his most impassioned and brilliant social works, are as a consequence a powerful defence of democratic liberalism as a social and political philosophy, and a devastating critique of the principal philosophical presuppositions underpinning all forms of totalitarianism.
Thirdly, as we have seen, Popper was profoundly impressed by the differences between the allegedly ‘scientific’ theories of Freud and Adler and the revolution effected by Einstein's theory of relativity in physics in the first two decades of this century.
