| 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 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) |
| mean temperature | The average atmospheric temperature in any locality for a designated period of time, as a month or a year. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mean 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) |
| regression of the mean | If, for a symmetrical population with a single mode, a measurement, selected because it is extreme, is repeated, on average the second reading will be closer to the mean than the first. (05 Mar 2000) |
| harmonic mean | The mean calculated as the number of values being averaged, divided by the sum of their reciprocals. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothetical mean organism | A hypothetical organism whose characters are the means of the positive characters of the organisms which belong to the same taxon as the HMO, as opposed to the calculated mean organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothetical mean strain | A hypothetical strain that possesses the characteristics of a calculated mean organism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| standard error of the mean | A statistical index of the probability that a given sample mean is representative of the mean of the population from which the sample was drawn. (05 Mar 2000) |
| law of regression to mean | In a population mating at random, the progeny of a parent with an extreme value for a measurable phenotype will tend on average to have values nearer the population mean than in the extreme parent. See: law of regression to mean. Synonym: law of regression to mean. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axis | <botany> A stem, commonly used for the main stem of a whole plant or of an inflorescence. (09 Oct 1997) |
| axis bulbi externus | That part of the optic axis from the midpoint of anterior surface of the cornea to the posterior surface of the posterior pole of the external surface of the sclera. Synonym: axis bulbi externus. (05 Mar 2000) |
