Computer


Definition:

  • (19) Second, is it possible - by combining the two technologies of endoscopy and computers - to provide an individual patient with a short-term prognostic prediction sufficiently accurate to affect patient management.
  • (20) Computed tomography does not allow differentiation between these lesions and surrounding normal tissues.

Flashing


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Flash
  • (n.) The creation of an artifical flood by the sudden letting in of a body of water; -- called also flushing.
  • (n.) Pieces of metal, built into the joints of a wall, so as to lap over the edge of the gutters or to cover the edge of the roofing; also, similar pieces used to cover the valleys of roofs of slate, shingles, or the like. By extension, the metal covering of ridges and hips of roofs; also, in the United States, the protecting of angles and breaks in walls of frame houses with waterproof material, tarred paper, or the like. Cf. Filleting.
  • (n.) The reheating of an article at the furnace aperture during manufacture to restore its plastic condition; esp., the reheating of a globe of crown glass to allow it to assume a flat shape as it is rotated.
  • (n.) A mode of covering transparent white glass with a film of colored glass.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Osman had gone close before that, flashing a shot over from seven yards after a corner.
  • (2) The data indicate that hot flashes may start much earlier and continue far longer than is commonly recognized by physicians or acknowledged in textbooks of gynecology.
  • (3) 'frequent' and probability of 'rare' flashes was 20%.
  • (4) All are satisfied by [Formula: see text], where N is the size of rod signal, constant for threshold; theta, theta(D) are steady backgrounds of light and receptor noise; varphi is the threshold flash with sigma a constant of about 2.5 log td sec; B the fraction of pigment in the bleached state.
  • (5) The flash visually evoked cortical potential (VECP) was recorded in 18 human albinos.
  • (6) The mixed-valence-state cytochrome oxidase mixed with O2 at -24 degrees C and flash-photolysed at -60 to -100 degrees C reacts with O2 and initially forms an oxy compound (A2) similar to that formed from the fully reduced state (A1).
  • (7) Dementia produced a slowing of the major positive (P2) component of the flash VEP but did not affect the latency of the flash P1 component or the P100 pattern-reversal component.
