| mean annual increment | The annual average growth rate for a tree, computed over its entire life cycle. (05 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| mean arterial pressure | <cardiology, physiology> The average value for arterial pressure. Systolic pressure + diastolic pressure divided by 2. (27 Sep 1997) |
| mean calorie | One hundredth of the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water from 0캜 to 100캜. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean corpuscular haemoglobin | The haemoglobin content of the average red cell, calculated from the haemoglobin therein and the red cell count, in erythrocyte indices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration | Hgb/Hct;the average haemoglobin concentration in a given volume of packed red cells, calculated from the haemoglobin therein and the haematocrit, in erythrocyte indices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean corpuscular volume | The average volume of red cells, calculated from the haematocrit and the red cell count, in erythrocyte indices. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean electrical axis | The average magnitude and direction of all the electromotive forces developed during the cardiac event under consideration; e.g., atrial or ventricular depolarisation, or ventricular repolarization. See: axis deviation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean foundation plane | The mean of the various irregularities in form and inclination of the basal seat; the ideal condition for denture stability exists when the mean foundation plane is most nearly at right angles to the direction of force. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean free path | <radiobiology> Average distance a particle travels between occurrences of the given event, for example, between collisions. For collisions, the mean free path is roughly equal to unity divided by the product of the collision cross-section times the particle density. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean higher high water | <marine biology> The average height of the higher high water over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observation, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean high water | <marine biology> The average height of the high water over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observation, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. All high-waters heights are included in the average where the type of tide is either semidiurnal or mixed. Only the higher high-water heights are included in the average where the type of tide is diurnal. So determined, mean high water in the latter case is the same as mean higher high water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean lower low water | <marine biology> The average height of the lower low waters over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observations, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean low water | <marine biology> The average height of the low waters over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observations, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. All low-water heights are included in the average where the type of tide is either semidiurnal or mixed. Only the lower low-water heights are included in the average where the type of tide is diurnal. So determined, mean low water in the latter case is the same as mean lower low water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean manifest vector | A single cardiac vector representing the average of all vector's present during a given time interval. Synonym: mean manifest vector. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean sea level | <marine biology> A tidal datum: the arithmetic mean of hourly water elevations observed over a specific 19-year cycle. Points on land can be referenced to a mean sea level, in which case the datum assumes zero elevation. (09 Oct 1997) |
