| relative biological effectiveness | The ratio of radiation dosages required to produce identical change based on a formula comparing other types of radiation with that of gamma or roentgen rays. (12 Dec 1998) |

| effectiveness | 1. A measure of the accuracy or success of a diagnostic or therapeutic technique when carried out in an average clinical environment.; Cf. See: efficacy. 2. The extent to which a treatment achieves its intended purpose. (05 Mar 2000) |

| blood relative | A relative of a person sharing some of the sources from which genes are derived. These will include many of the genes that operate in the blood and its constituents but no special importance attaches to the blood as a vehicle of inheritance. Spouses are not ordinarily blood relatives and when they are, the marriage is consanguineous and carries a higher risk than average of progeny homozygous by descent from ancestors in common. Such marriages are discouraged and within certain degrees of kindred may be illegal. Origin: a folk metaphor of breeding (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative | One who, or that which, relates to, or is considered in its relation to, something else; a relative object or term; one of two object or term; one of two objects directly connected by any relation. Specifically: A person connected by blood or affinity; strictly, one allied by blood; a relation; a kinsman or kinswoman. "Confining our care . . . To ourselves and relatives." . A relative prnoun; a word which relates to, or represents, another word or phrase, called its antecedent; as, the relatives " who", "which", "that". Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| relative accommodation | Quantity of accommodation required for single binocular vision for any specified distance, or for any particular degree of convergence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative afferent pupillary defect | An asymmetry of the pupillomotor input between the two eyes; tested by alternating the light from one eye to the other and comparing the direct light reactions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative aperture | <microscopy> The ratio of the focal length of a lens to the diameter of its entrance pupil. This gives a number known as the f-number, usually written f:8, f:16, etc. Thus, if the focal length is divided by the number 8, 16, etc., the result will be the diameter of the entrance pupil of the lens, or if the diaphragm of the lens is wide open it will be very nearly the diameter of the free aperture of the lens. See: F-number. (05 Aug 1998) |
| relative basal area | An estimate of basal area for trees, such as produced by the Bitterlich sampling technique. (09 Oct 1997) |
| relative dehydration | Water deficit relative to content of solutes contributing effective osmotic pressure; a state of increased effective osmotic pressure of body fluids. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative immunity | A modified, not completely effective resistance that results when there is a sort of "fluctuating equilibrium" between the defense mechanisms of the host and the infective agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative incompetence | Imperfect closure of a cardiac valve, in consequence of excessive dilation of the corresponding cavity of the heart. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative leukocytosis | An increased proportion of one or more types of leukocytes in the circulating blood, without an actual increase in the total number of white blood cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative molecular mass | The sum of the atomic weight's of all the atoms constituting a molecule; the mass of a molecule relative to the mass of a standard atom, now 12C (taken as 12.000). Relative molecular mass (Mr) is the mass relative to the dalton and has no units. See: atomic weight. Synonym: molecular mass, molecular weight ratio, relative molecular mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative polycythemia | A relative increase in the number of red blood cells as a result of loss of the fluid portion of the blood. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative refractory period | The period between the effective refractory period and the end of the refractory period; fibres then respond only to high intensity stimuli and the impulses conduct more slowly than normally. (05 Mar 2000) |
| relative risk | <epidemiology> The proportion of diseased people amongst those exposed to the relevant risk factor divided by the proportion of diseased people amongst those not exposed to the risk factor. This should be used in those cohort studies where those with and without disease are followed to observe which individuals become diseased. (05 Dec 1998) |

| relative biological effectiveness |
a factor that measures the relative effectiveness of various kinds of radiation in causing damage. It is complex and organ-specific. Due to its complexity, a simple parameter, called the quality factor, is used in regulatory practice.
