| preejection period | The interval between onset of QRS complex and cardiac ejection; electromechanical systole minus ejection time. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prepatent period | <microbiology> The period of time equivalent to the incubation period of parasite infections compared with microbial infections. It is biologically different, because the parasite is undergoing developmental stages in the host, and the prepatent period represents the time from infection until a female starts to produce eggs, and is equivalent to the latent period in microparasitic infections.

| salina period | <geology> The period in which the American Upper Silurian system, containing the brine-producing rocks of central new York, was formed. Origin: So called from Salina, a town in New York. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| niagara period | <geology> A subdivision or the American Upper Silurian system, embracing the Medina, Clinton, and Niagara epoch. The rocks of the Niagara epoch, mostly limestones, are extensively distributed, and at Niagara Falls consist of about eighty feet of shale supporting a greater thickness of limestone, which is gradually undermined by the removal of the shale.
