| sylvian point | The nearest point on the skull to the lateral (sylvian) fissure, about 30 mm behind the zygomatic process of the frontal bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dew-point | <meteorology> The temperature at which dew begins to form. It varies with the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| double-point threshold | The least degree of separation of two points applied to the body surface that permits of their being felt as two. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incident point | The point at which a light ray enters an optical system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| incisal point | The point located between the incisal edges of the lower central incisors; the graphic projection of the excursions of the incisal point in certain planes is generally used to illustrate the envelope of motion of mandibular movement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isoionic point | The pH at which a zwitterion has an equal number of positive and negative charges; in water and in the absence of other solutes, this is the isoelectric point. (05 Mar 2000) |
| isosbestic point | <physics> In applied spectroscopy, a wavelength at which absorbance of two substances, one of which can be converted into the other, is the same. (05 Mar 2000) |
| occipital point | The most prominent posterior point on the occipital bone above the inion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| o-point | <physics> Place where the poloidal magnetic field vanishes in such a way that the nearby flux surfaces are elliptical, for example on the magnetic axis or at the centre of a magnetic island. (See also X-Point.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| end point | <chemistry> It is the completion point during a titration reaction where there are equal amounts of titrant and whatever is being titrated. It is usually evident by the first perceptible alteration of the colour of an added indicator. <immunology> It is the most dilute an antibody or antiserum solution can be while still detectably reacting with the antigen. <statistics> A category of data used to compare the outcome in different arms of a clinical trial. Common endpoints are severe toxicity, disease progression or fall in such surrogate markers as CD4 count, but sometimes death is used as an endpoint. (08 Mar 2000) |
