| half-reactions | <chemistry> The two parts of an oxidation-reduction reaction, one representing oxidation, the other reduction. (09 Jan 1998) |
|---|---|
| half register | <molecular biology> A misalignment between two identical sets of repeating units of nucleotides within two copies of the same chromosome (one set of repeating units per copy of the chromosome), where repeating unit A from one set is inappropriately aligned with repeating unit B on the other set, so that ABABAB on one set would be aligned with BABABA on the other set instead of the correct ABABAB with ABABAB. (13 Nov 1997) |
| half-tetrad analysis | <genetics> The analysis of tetrad chromosomes (a pair of homologous chromosomes, thus four total chromosomes) after recombination when only half of the tetrad (two of the four chromosomes) can be analysed. (13 Nov 1997) |
| half-time | The time, in a first-order chemical (or enzymic) reaction, for half of the substance (substrate) to be converted or to disappear. Compare: half-life. (05 Mar 2000) |
| half-value layer | <radiobiology> The thickness of a specified material (usually a specific absorber), which attenuates a beam of radiation so that the exposure rate or absorbed dose rate at a specified point is reduced by half. (20 Sep 2002) |
| drug half-life | The amount of time it takes for one-half of an administered drug to be lost through biological processes (metabolism and elimination). (27 Sep 1997) |
| effective half-life | <radiobiology> Time required for a radioactive substance contained in a biological system (such as a person or an animal) to reduce its radioactivity by half, as a combination result of radioactive decay and biological elimination from the system. (09 Oct 1997) |
| abortion rate | The number of abortions per 1000 terminated pregnancies during a given period of time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| age-specific rate | A rate for a specified age group, in which the numerator and denominator refer to the same age group. (05 Mar 2000) |
| attack rate | A cumulative incidence rate used for particular groups observed for limited periods under special circumstances, such as during an epidemic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| average flow rate | <physiology> The flow rate determined by dividing the total volume passed in a time period divided by the time period, usually quoted in mls per minute. (05 Mar 2000) |
| backup rate | A utility charge for providing occasional electricity service to replace on-site generation. (05 Dec 1998) |
| basal metabolic rate | <biochemistry, biology> The metabolic rate as measured under basal conditions: 12 hours after eating, after a restful sleep, no exercise or activity preceding test, elimination of emotional excitement and occurring in a comfortable temperature. Acronym: BMR (15 Nov 1997) |
| baseline foetal heart rate | <paediatrics> The average heart rate for a particular foetus during the diastolic phase of uterine contractions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| baseline variability of foetal heart rate | The beat-to-beat changes in foetal heart rate as recorded on a graph. (05 Mar 2000) |
