| polish | 1. A smooth, glossy surface, usually produced by friction; a gloss or luster. "Another prism of clearer glass and better polish." (Sir I. Newton) 2. Anything used to produce a gloss. 3. Refinement; elegance of manners. "This Roman polish and this smooth behavior." (Addison) Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| ecological chemistry | Chemistry that concentrates on the effects of woman-made chemicals on the environment as well as the development of agents that are not harmful to the environment. The study of the molecular interactions between species and between species and the environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological ectocrine | A chemical substance that undergoes biosynthesis in one species and that exerts an effect on the function of another species through mechanisms of the external environment; e.g., the biosynthesis of vitamins by ruminants and their subsequent ingestion by other animals. See: ectohormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological epidemiology | <epidemiology> A branch of epidemiology which views disease as a result of the ecological interactions between populations of hosts and parasites; what we do. We contrast this with classical epidemiology. (05 Dec 1998) |
| ecological fallacy | The bias that may occur because an association observed between variables at an aggregate level does not necessarily represent an association that exists at an individual level; an error of inference due to failure to distinguish between different levels of organization. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ecological protection | <ecology> Protection consists of measures undertaken to protect and preserve elements of an ecosystem's structure and functions against future degradation. (10 Nov 1998) |
| ecological restoration | <ecology> The process of renewing and maintaining ecosystem health. Ecological restoration is the process of intentionally altering a site to establish a defined, indigenous, historic ecosystem. The goal of this process is to emulate the structure, function, diversity, and dynamics of the specified ecosystem. (10 Nov 1998) |
| ecological system | <ecology> An ecosystem is the dynamic and interrelating complex of plant and animal communities and their associated non-living environment. The physical and climactic features and all the living and dead organisms in an area that are interrelated in the transfer of energy and material. An interacting complex of a community and its environment functioning as an ecological unit in nature. Differs from system in being a more rigorous definition that encompasses and requires assumptions of energetics, ecological interactions, species adaptations and so forth. (13 Nov 1997) |
| ecological systems, closed | Systems that provide for the maintenance of life in an isolated living chamber through reutilization of the material available, in particular, by means of a cycle wherein exhaled carbon dioxide, urine, and other waste matter are converted chemically or by photosynthesis into oxygen, water, and food. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retrospective studies | Studies used to test aetiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pharmalogical studies | <pharmacology> Studies to assess the potential harmful or other effects of drugs (16 Dec 1997) |
| clinical studies | <pharmacology> Human studies that are designed to measure the safety, efficacy, and appropriate dosage of a new drug or biological. Clinical studies routinely involve the use of a placebo group that is given an inactive substance that looks like the test product. (14 Nov 1997) |
| cohort studies | Studies in which subsets of a defined population are identified. These groups may or may not be exposed to factors hypothesised to influence the probability of the occurrence of a particular disease or other outcome. Cohorts are defined populations which, as a whole, are followed in an attempt to determine distinguishing subgroup characteristics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| combination studies | <pharmacology> Studies in which a new drug is evaluated in combination with existing drugs. (09 Jan 1998) |
| multicenter studies | Controlled studies which are planned and carried out by several cooperating institutions to assess certain variables and outcomes in specific patient populations, for example, a multicenter study of congenital anomalies in children. (12 Dec 1998) |
