| standard substance | A pure, authentic substance used for identification purposes. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| standard temperature | A temperature of 0캜 or 273.15 |
| standard urea clearance | The value obtained when the square root of the urine flow (when below 2 ml/min) is multiplied by the urine urea concentration and divided by the whole blood urea concentration; represents an old empirical adjustment for the effect of low urine flow on urea excretion; sometimes corrected for body size by dividing by some function of body weight or surface area. Later, plasma concentration was substituted for blood concentration in the calculation. The normal value is about 54 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in an adult person. Synonym: Van Slyke's formula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard volume | The volume of an ideal gas at standard temperature and pressure, approximately 22.414 liters. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard-wing | <zoology> A curious paradise bird (Semioptera Wallacii) which has two long special feathers standing erect on each wing. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ICAO standard atmosphere | The standard atmosphere adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization, used for calibrating altimeters and for expressing hypobaric chamber pressures in terms of equivalent altitude; it ignores many deviations found in nature. (05 Mar 2000) |
| emission standard | This regulatory value is a quantitative limit on the emission or discharge of a potentially toxic substance from a source. The simplest form for regulatory purposes is a uniform emission standard (UES) where the same limit is placed on all emissions of a particular contaminant. (09 Oct 1997) |
| environmental quality standard | This regulatory value defines the maximum concentration of a potentially toxic substance which can be allowed in an environmental compartment, usually air (air quality standard - AQS) or water, over a defined period. (09 Oct 1997) |
| augmented lead | Electrocardiogram recorded between one limb and two other limbs. The augmented lead are designated aVF, aVL, and aVR for recordings made between the foot (left), left arm, and right arm, respectively, and the other two limbs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bipolar lead | A record obtained with two electrodes placed on different regions of the body, each electrode contributing significantly to the record; e.g., a standard limb lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| black lead | Plumbago; graphite.It leaves a blackish mark somewhat like lead. See Graphite. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| red lead | A bright orange-red powder that turns black when heated; used in ointments and plasters. Synonym: red lead, red oxide of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| red oxide of lead | A bright orange-red powder that turns black when heated; used in ointments and plasters. Synonym: red lead, red oxide of lead. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CB lead | A bipolar chest lead with the negative electrode placed upon the subject's back. (05 Mar 2000) |
| V lead | A unipolar lead with the central terminal as the indifferent electrode; V is the symbol for unipolar (Latin "U"). (05 Mar 2000) |
