Slat
Definition:
(n.) A thin, narrow strip or bar of wood or metal; as, the slats of a window blind.
(v. t.) To slap; to strike; to beat; to throw down violently.
(v. t.) To split; to crack.
(v. t.) To set on; to incite. See 3d Slate.
Example Sentences:

(7) Effects of N-alkyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium ions with different alkyl substituents (hexyl, nonyl, dodecyl, and octadecyl) on the lateral packing of lipids in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) dispersions in H2O was investigated by Raman spectroscopy in a spectral region of 2800--3100 cm-1 at temperatures between 22--70 degrees C. The lateral order parameter Slat calculated by empirical equation reveals that the addition of the ions decreases the lateral ordering of lipid hydrocarbon chains in the gel phase, while in the liquid crystalline state the lateral ordering is increased.
