|---|---|
| induction generator | A variable speed multi-pole electric generator. (05 Dec 1998) |
| induction period | The period required for a specific agent to produce a disease; the interval from the causal action of a factor to initiation of disease, e.g., the interval between exposure to radiation and the onset of leukaemia; the interval between an initial injection of antigen and the appearance of demonstrable antibodies in the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induction therapy | Initial intensive course of chemotherapy that is designed to wipe out abnormal cells and allow regrowth of normal cells. (16 Dec 1997) |
| ovulation induction | Techniques for the artifical induction of ovulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| test profile | A combination of laboratory tests usually performed by automated methods and designed to evaluate organ systems of patients upon admission to a hospital or clinic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thermal melting profile | In general a record of the phase state of a system over a temperature range. Phase changes can be detected by exothermy or endothermy. Valuable in studying lipid and DNA structures. (18 Nov 1997) |
| electrolyte profile | <biochemistry> A test which includes the measurement of the sodium, potassium, C02 and chloride concentrations in venous blood. (27 Sep 1997) |
| electromagnetic induction | Electromagnetic waves propagated by induction in an electromagnetic field. (05 Mar 2000) |
| elution profile | <chemistry> A graph made to show how much material is being carried out of the column by the eluant in column chromatography over time. The graph will show a number of different peaks, each peak represents a different separated material from the original mixed substance. (09 Oct 1997) |
| embryonic induction | The induction of differentiation in one tissue as a result of proximity to another tissue arising, for example: during gastrulation. One of the best known examples is the induction of the neural tube in the ectoderm by the underlying chordo mesoderm. Although the information to form the tube is present in the competent determined ectoderm, it must be elicited by the inducing tissue. In some cases it is known that cell cell contact between epithelium and mesenchyme is necessary. (18 Nov 1997) |
| enzyme induction | An increase in enzyme secretion in response to an environmental signal. The classic example is the induction of _ galactosidase in E. Coli. (18 Nov 1997) |
| facial profile | The outline form of the face from a lateral view, the sagittal outline form of the face. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney profile | <investigation> A test which includes the measurement of the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and the creatinine in a venous specimen. This test allows the physician to make a determination of how effectively the kidneys are functioning. (27 Sep 1997) |
| zygotic induction | <cell biology> A lysogenic process in which a prophage is transmitted to a cell that does not have a phage repressor protein. (09 Oct 1997) |
