| nD | refractive index |
| body mass index | One of the anthropometric measures of body mass; it has the highest correlation with skinfold thickness or body density. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| buffer index | The power of a substance in solution to absorb acid or alkali without change in pH; this is highest at a pH value equal to the pKa value of the acid of the buffer pair. See: buffer capacity. Synonym: buffer index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Calculus Surface Index | An index that measures only dental calculus, used for evaluating new calculus formation within a large group of test subjects. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac index | The amount of blood ejected by the heart in a unit of time divided by the body surface area; usually expressed in liters per minute per square meter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radial index artery | <anatomy, artery> Origin, radial; distribution, radial side of index finger. Synonym: arteria radialis indicis, arteria volaris indicis radialis, radial index artery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatal index | Relation of the palatomaxillary width, measured between the outer borders of the alveolar arch just above the middle of the second molar tooth, and the palatomaxillary length, measured from the alveolar point to the middle of a transverse line touching the posterior borders of the two maxillae: (palatomaxillary width × 100)/palatomaxillary length; it notes the varying forms of the dental arcade and palate. Synonym: palatal index, palatine index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| palatomaxillary index | Relation of the palatomaxillary width, measured between the outer borders of the alveolar arch just above the middle of the second molar tooth, and the palatomaxillary length, measured from the alveolar point to the middle of a transverse line touching the posterior borders of the two maxillae: (palatomaxillary width × 100)/palatomaxillary length; it notes the varying forms of the dental arcade and palate. Synonym: palatal index, palatine index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Marginal Line Calculus Index | An index which scores supragingival calculus found in cervical areas paralleling marginal gingiva. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vertical index | The relation of the height to the length of the skull: (height × 100)/length. Synonym: height-length index, length-height index, transversovertical index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gingival Index | An index of periodontal disease based upon the severity and location of the lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Gingival-Periodontal Index | An index of gingivitis, gingival irritation, and advanced periodontal disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maturation index | An index indicating the degree of maturation attained by the vaginal epithelium as adjudged by the cell types being exfoliated; serves as an objective means of evaluating hormonal secretion or response; represents the percentage of parabasal cells/intermediate cells/superficials, in that order; "shift to the left" indicates more immature cells on the surface (atrophy), while "shift to the right" indicates more mature epithelium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vital index | The ratio of births to deaths within a population during a given time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Volpe-Manhold Index | An index for comparing the amount of dental calculus in individuals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| volume index | An indication of the relative size (e.g., volume) of erythrocytes, calculated as follows: haematocrit value, expressed as per cent of normal ÷ red blood cell count, expressed as per cent of normal = volume index. (05 Mar 2000) |
| refractive index |
The degree to which light bends (refraction) when passing through a transparent or translucent object. For example, the refractive index of air is 1 and water is 1.33.

| refractive index |
A measurement of the bending of a beam of light when it passes from material into another and the two materials have different densities (eg light passing from air through water is bent because air and water have different densities).

| refractive index |
Refractive index testing is one of four objective testing procedures Frontier uses to determine the quality of every essential oil. A refractometer is used to measure the velocity of a light ray passing through an essential oil. (Light behaves differently depending upon the density of the material it is passing through.) The reading is compared to established literature; deviations are indicative of adulteration.
