| quench | 1. To extinguish; to overwhelm; to make an end of; said of flame and fire, of things burning, and figuratively of sensations and emotions; as, to quench flame; to quench a candle; to quench thirst, love, hate, etc. "Ere our blood shall quench that fire." (Shak) "The supposition of the lady's death Will quench the wonder of her infamy." (Shak) 2. To cool suddenly, as heated steel, in tempering.

| aperture correction | <microscopy> An electronic process used in some high-resolution video cameras and monitors that compensates for the loss in sharpness of detail due to the finite dimensions (aperture) of the scanning beam. (05 Aug 1998) |
| 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.

| spontaneous correction of placenta previa | The upward "migration" of the placenta away from the internal os by the differential growth rates of upper and lower uterine segments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occlusal correction | The correction of malocclusion, by whatever means is employed, elimination of disharmony of occlusal contacts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| active length-tension curve | The relationship between active isometric tension and preload (rest length) for a contracting muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alignment curve | The line passing through the centre of the teeth laterally in the direction of the curve of the dental arch. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-Monson curve | In dentistry, a curve of occlusion which is convex upward. Synonym: anti-Monson curve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| area under curve | A statistical means of summarizing information from a series of measurements on one individual. It is frequently used in clinical pharmacology where the auc from serum levels can be interpreted as the total uptake of whatever has been administered. As a plot of the concentration of a drug against time, after a single dose of medicine, producing a standard shape curve, it is a means of comparing the bioavailability of the same drug made by different companies. (12 Dec 1998) |
| area under the curve | A measure of how much of a drug reaches the bloodstream in a set period of time, usually 24 hours. AUC is calculated by plotting drug blood concentration at various times during a 24-hour or longer period and then measuring the area under the curve between 0 and 24 hours as shown in the figure to the right. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Barnes' curve | A curve corresponding in general with Carus' curve, being the segment of a circle whose centre is the promontory of the sacrum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biphasic growth curve | <cell culture, microbiology> A particular type of growth curve seen in cultured microorganisms in which they have two exponential growth stages separated by a plateau phase. This double-hump curve is produced when the microbes are cultured using two carbon sources, one of which must be used up before the second can be used. (19 Jan 1998) |
| buccal curve | The line of the dental arch from the canine, or cuspid tooth to the third molar. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gaussian curve | Continuous frequency distribution of infinite range. Its properties are as follows: 1) continuous, symmetrical distribution with both tails extending to infinity; 2) arithmetic mean, mode, and median identical; and 3) shape completely determined by the mean and standard deviation.
