| linear models | Statistical models in which the value of a parameter for a given value of a factor is assumed to be equal to a + bx, where a and b are constants. The models predict a linear regression. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| linear skull fracture | A skull fracture resembling a line. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Baker's pyridine extraction | Hot pyridine treatment of tissues fixed in dilute Bouin's fixative, used to extract phospholipids from tissues as a control in the histochemical staining of this material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| breech extraction | Obstetrical extraction of the baby by the buttocks. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vacuum extraction, obstetrical | Removal of the foetus from the uterus or vagina at or near the end of pregnancy with a metal traction cup that is attached to the foetus' head. Negative pressure is applied and traction is made on a chain passed through the suction tube. (12 Dec 1998) |
| partial breech extraction | Assisted breech delivery by the obstetrician with spontaneous delivery of the foetus to the level of the umbilicus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| menstrual extraction abortion | A technique for aspiration of early products of conception from the uterus a few days after the first missed menstrual period. (05 Mar 2000) |
| condensing, controlled extraction turbines | A controlled turbine that bleeds off (condenses) part of the main stream flow at one (single extraction) or two (double extraction) points. Used when process steam is required at pressures below the inlet pressure and above the exhaust pressure. (05 Dec 1998) |
| podalic extraction | Obstetrical extraction of the baby by the feet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hirt extraction | <molecular biology, technique> The Hirt extraction is a lab technique used to separate the DNA of a virus from the DNA of its host cell. (09 Oct 1997) |
| serial extraction | The selective extraction of deciduous teeth during the stage of mixed dentition in accordance with the shedding and eruption of the teeth. It is done over an extended period to allow autonomous adjustment to relieve crowding of the dental arches during the eruption of the lateral incisors, canines, and premolars, eventually involving the extraction of the first premolar teeth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| solvent extraction | A method of separation used to purify vegetable oils. (05 Dec 1998) |
| spontaneous breech extraction | Delivery of a foetus in the breech presentation without extraction by the obstetrician. (05 Mar 2000) |
| noncondensing, controlled extraction turbine | A turbine that bleeds part of the main steam flow at one (single extraction) or two (double extraction) points. (05 Dec 1998) |
| tooth extraction | The surgical removal of a tooth. (12 Dec 1998) |
