| corralin yellow | The sodium salt of rosolic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| corralling | The proposed confinement of membrane proteins within a diffusion barrier, thereby limiting long range translational diffusion rates without affecting short range properties (e.g. Rotation rates). (18 Nov 1997) |
| corrected and republished article | The republication of an article to correct, amplify, or restore text and data of the originally published article. (12 Dec 1998) |
| corrected dextrocardia | Displacement and rotation of the heart into the right side of the chest but without mirror transposition of the cardiac chambers. Synonym: dextroversion of the heart, false dextrocardia, type 3 dextrocardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrected transposition of the great vessels | Anatomically or physiologically corrected malposition of the great arteries. In anatomically corrected transposition, they arise from the correct ventricles but have an abnormal relation to each other (actually a malposition rather than a transposition.) In physiologically or functionally corrected transposition, the aorta arises from a systemic ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery arises from a "venous" ventricle that has the morphologic characteristics of a left ventricle.

| correction | A setting right, as the provision of specific lenses for the improvement of vision or an arbitrary adjustment made in values or devices in performance of experimental procedures. Origin: L. Correctio = straightening out, amendment (18 Nov 1997) |
| correction collar | <microscopy> An adjustment collar provided on some high-numerical aperture, microscope objective lenses. Rotation of the collar adjusts the height of certain lens elements in the objective lens to compensate for variations in coverslip thickness or immersion media. at high numerical apertures, even a small deviation of the coverslip thickness (by as little as a few micrometres in some cases), or refractive index of the immersion medium from the designated standard, can introduce significant aberrations. (05 Aug 1998) |
| corrective | 1. Counteracting, modifying, or changing what is injurious. 2. A drug that modifies or corrects an undesirable or injurious effect of another drug. Synonym: corrigent. Origin: L. Cor-rigo (conr-), pp. -rectus, to set right, fr. Rego, to keep straight (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrective emotional experience | Reexposure under favourable circumstances to an emotional situation with which one could not cope in the past. (05 Mar 2000) |
| correlation | <statistics> most generally, the degree to which one phenomenon or random variable is associated with or can be predicted from another. In statistics, correlation usually refers to the degree to which a linear predictive relationship exists between random variables, as measured by a correlation coefficient. Correlation may be positive, i.e., both variables increase or decrease together or negative or inverse, i.e., one variable increases when the other decreases. (18 Nov 1997) |
| correlation coefficient | A measure of association that indicates the degree to which two variables have a linear relationship; this coefficient, represented by the letter r, can vary between +1 and -1; when r = +1, there is a perfect positive linear relationship in which one variable relates directly with the other; when r = -1, there is a perfect negative linear relationship between the variables. (05 Mar 2000) |
| correlational method | A statistical method, most often used in clinical and other applied areas of psychology, to study the relationship which exists between one characteristic and another in an individual. (05 Mar 2000) |
| correlative differentiation | Differentiation due to the interaction of different parts of an organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Correra's line | On a chest radiograph, the shadow of the soft tissues between the aerated lung and the bones of the thorax. Synonym: Correra's line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| correspond | To be in conformity a agreement: suit, agree, to be equivalent, to be parallel. (18 Nov 1997) |
