| natural language processing | Computer processing of a language with rules that reflect and describe current usage rather than prescribed usage. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| natural mutation | A mutation which occurs by itself without first being affected by a mutagen, for example during the process of DNA replication. Spontaneous mutations arise at a remarkably constant rate. The rate that spontaneous mutations arise has been used as an evolutionary clock to estimate how closely related two (or more) separate species are to each other. (09 Oct 1997) |
| natural passive immunity | Immunity conferred by the mother on the foetus or newborn. (14 Nov 1997) |
| natural pigment | A naturally occurring coloured compound; absorbs light in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Compare: structural colour. Synonym: biochrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| natural products | Naturally occurring compounds that are end products of secondary metabolism; often, they are unique compounds for particular organisms or classes of organisms. (05 Mar 2000) |
| natural selection | The hypothesis that genotype environment interactions occurring at the phenotypic level lead to differential reproductive success of individuals and hence to modification of the gene pool of a population. (18 Nov 1997) |
| immunity, natural | The capacity of a normal organism to remain unaffected by microorganisms and their toxins. It results from non-specific mechanisms such as genetic endowment, naturally occurring antiviral and bactericidal substances, phagocytosis, and constitutional factors such as body temperature, oxygen tension, and age. (12 Dec 1998) |
| killer cells, natural | Cells responsible for spontaneous cytotoxicity of a variety of tumour cells without prior immunization. These natural killer cells are found in non-immune humans and experimental animals and are thought by some to be the same as killer cells (killing by antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity), but they can also kill in the absence of antibody. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar ventilation | The volume of gas expired from the alveoli to the outside of the body per minute; calculated as the respiratory frequency (f) multiplied by the difference between tidal volume and the dead space (VT -VD); units: ml/min BTPS. (05 Mar 2000) |
| artificial ventilation | Application of mechanically or manually generated pressures, usually positive, to gas(es) in or about the airway as a means of producing gas exchange between the lungs and surrounding atmosphere. Synonym: artificial respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| assist-control ventilation | Artificial respiration in which inspiration is produced automatically after a set interval if the person has not already begun to inspire. Compare: assisted ventilation, controlled ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| assisted mechanical ventilation | <anaesthetics> The use of a mechanical device to fill the lungs with oxygenated air then allow time for passive exhalation. (27 Sep 1997) |
| assisted ventilation | Application of mechanically or manually generated positive pressure to gas(es) in or about the airway during inhalation as a means of augmenting movement of gases into the lungs. Synonym: assisted respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| manual ventilation | Intermittent manual compression of a gas-filled reservoir bag to force gases into a patient's lungs and thus maintain oxygenation and carbon dioxide elimination during apnea or hypoventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventilation | 1. In respiratory physiology, the process of exchange of air between the lungs and the ambient air. Pulmonary ventilation (usually measured in litres per minute) refers to the total exchange, whereas alveolar ventilation refers to the effective ventilation of the alveoli, in which gas exchange with the blood takes place. 2. In psychiatry, verbalisation of one's emotional problems. Origin: L. Ventilatio (18 Nov 1997) |

| natural ventilation |
The ventilation produced by natural causes in a mine as a result of a difference in density of the air in the upcast and downcast shafts. Natural ventilation is feeble, seasonal and inconstant.

| natural ventilation |
A ventilation system utilizing ventilators installed in openings in the attic and properly positioned to take advantage of natural air flow to draw hot summer or moist winter air out and replace it with fresh outside air.
