Computer


Definition:

  • (n.) One who computes.

  • (18) 3 patients had complete disappearance of the symptoms but did not have a computed tomography scanning control, 3 patients had clinical and CT recovery.
  • (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.

Volatile


Definition:

  • (a.) Passing through the air on wings, or by the buoyant force of the atmosphere; flying; having the power to fly.
  • (a.) Capable of wasting away, or of easily passing into the aeriform state; subject to evaporation.
  • (a.) Fig.: Light-hearted; easily affected by circumstances; airy; lively; hence, changeable; fickle; as, a volatile temper.
  • (n.) A winged animal; wild fowl; game.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) No correlation between volatile make up and geography was found, but the profiling procedures are shown to be of use in the forensic problem of relating samples to a common source.
  • (2) Glucose, osmotic pressure, packed cell volume, PFC by combustion and volatilization were also measured in blood samples.

  • (8) Rumen pH decrease to below 5.0 in S2-, lasalocid-, and monensin-treated cattle was not due to lactic acid, but to increased production of volatile fatty acids.
  • (9) The microflora in strained rumen fluid did not methylate or volatilize 203Hg2+ at detectable rates.
