| resonant frequency | The frequency at which individual magnetic nuclei absorb or emit radiofrequency energy in magnetic resonance studies. Synonym: resonance. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| respiratory frequency | The number of breaths per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collision frequency | <chemistry> The rate at which chemical species collide, used in theories of chemical kinetics. Also, the frequency with which gaseous molecules collide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| plasma frequency | <radiobiology> The natural collective oscillation frequency of a charge species (electrons, ions, etc.) in a plasma, in the absence of (or at least parallel to) a magnetic field. Also known as Langmuir or Langmuir-Tonks frequency. See: electrostatic waves, plasma oscillations. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mutational frequency | The proportions of mutations in a population. (05 Mar 2000) |
| critical flicker fusion frequency | The minimal number of flashes of light per second at which an intermittent light stimulus no longer stimulates a continuous visual sensation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cyclotron frequency | <radiobiology> Number of times per second that a particle orbits a magnetic field line. The frequency is completely determined by the strength of the field and the particle's charge-to-mass ratio. (Often, and incorrectly, called the Larmor frequency. The cyclotron or gyrofrequency is twice the Larmor frequency of precession.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| hearing loss, high-frequency | Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
| high frequency current | An alternating electric current having a frequency of 10,000 or more per second; it produces no muscular contractions and does not affect the sensory nerves. Synonym: d'Arsonval current, Tesla current. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high frequency deafness | Selective loss of hearing acuity for high frequencies, usually associated with neurosensory damage; common in acoustic trauma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high-frequency jet ventilation | Respiratory support system used primarily with rates of about 100 to 200/min with volumes of from about one to three times predicted anatomic dead space. Used to treat respiratory failure and maintain ventilation under severe circumstances. (12 Dec 1998) |
| high frequency recombination strain | A type of bacterial strain which is able to pass on genetic information to neighboring bacteria at a high rate. The high-frequency recombination strain (Hfr) is able to do this because it possesses the f plasmid and can therefore initiate bacterial conjugation. (09 Oct 1997) |
| high-frequency ventilation | Ventilatory support system using frequencies from 60-900 cycles/min or more. Three types of systems have been distinguished on the basis of rates, volumes, and the system used. They are high frequency positive-pressure ventilation (hfppv), high-frequency jet ventilation (hfjv), and high-frequency oscillation (hfo). (12 Dec 1998) |
| nearest neighbor frequency | The frequency by which certain types of entities or structures are immediately adjacent to a given structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dominant frequency | The frequency occurring most often in an electroencephalogram. (05 Mar 2000) |
