Erf
Definition:
(n.) A garden plot, usually about half an acre.
Example Sentences:

(2) In the present study, neuronal activities of retinal classes R2 and R3 and tectal classes T5(2) and T7 have been extracellularly recorded in response to leading and trailing edges of a 3 degrees X 30 degrees stripe simulating a worm and traversing the centers of their excitatory receptive fields (ERF) horizontally at a constant angular velocity in variable movement direction (temporo-nasal or naso-temporal).
(3) No significant difference was also shown in RBF between the control and all ERF-rats studied, through significant decreases in the renal clearance of NMN and renal extraction ratio (ER) were observed in the ERF-rats except the gentamicin-treated rats.
