Electric
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Electrical
(n.) A nonconductor of electricity, as amber, glass, resin, etc., employed to excite or accumulate electricity.

(19) Among the epileptic patients investigated by the stereotactic E. E. G. (Talairach) whose electrodes were introduced at or around the auditory cortex (Area 41, 42), the topography of the auditory responses by the electrical bipolar stimulation and that of the auditory evoked potential by the bilateral click sound stimulation were studied in relation to the ac--pc line (Talairach).
(20) It is suggested that contractile responses to electrical stimulation in isolated sheep urethral smooth muscle are mediated by the sympathetic nervous system, mainly through release of noradrenaline stimulating postjunctional alpha 1-adrenoceptors.
Fringing
Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. a.) of Fringe
Example Sentences:
